Whoa! WTF is this?

[bud luv]

I just noticed a bud that looks like it's covered in a very fine and silky spider web, and the web looks like it has these little orange dots in it. The dots are probably smaller than 1mm x 1mm.

Anybody know what this might be?

I'll post a pic in a few minutes...

It's in the damn 3rd story of an apartment building...

I'm 6.5 weeks into bud...

no pest strips from wally world, one per plant, put right underneath them, keep a fan blowing and circulating. it'll take about a week before they work, but they do and they will.

hope the best for you babe...

thanks so much sky.

I'm freaking out right now.

I noticed some buds that look pretty much encased in the silk... don't know how I didn't notice this till now...

I think all the stores where I can buy the pest strips are closed until the morning, is there anything I can do until then? I remember some people talking about spraying with water, is this legit?

I have a flood table, so I can't really put them underneath the plants. How would you suggest I put them? Hanging from strings in the middle of the plants?

well, after searching around a little online I just sprayed the undersides of the leaves that I could get to with water with a few drops of listerine, dish soap, and formula 409 mixed in.

:sadcrying:

This blows, I noticed at least ten more buds that were encapsulated in the silk.

[Weedhound]

409? I've never heard of spraying anything like that on a plant. That won't harm them? Enquiring minds need to know!
