Do these look like any kind of bug?

Are they moving?

I’m not sure. That was just a random picture I took earlier, and i’m not sure which part of the plant that I took it from. I used my loupe to scope out the leaves, and I couldn’t see anything moving.

You need to scope those leaves good, also check for any moving underside of leaves. There would also be small white bite marks, tiny dots on affected leaves. If so, it’s spider mites, aggravating but curable. It could be dirt if particles instead, but you wanna be sure.

At first I thought it was just the trichomes coming in, but they look more like a mite the more I look at it. Like @Growdoc said, give them a good hard look.

Yeah these were on the top of the leaves, i’m in week 10, I don’t want any issues at this point. I been taking a few leaves off here and there to check, and i never saw anything at all. Here is another suspect looking thing I just saw in another picture. It’s tough to se, but it looks like it shouldn’t be there.

Man I hope not. I’m so close to harvest.

At least you are close enough to finish either way, I’d just do a bud wash on them to get whatever it is off of the buds.

I’m not sure how to do that?

When you chop them, take a large enough tote to submerge a whole plant in, I set up two. In one run clean water to about half full, in the other I mix clean water to about half or slightly less, add a cup of peroxide, some even give it a twist of lemon juice, I just do peroxide. Submerge the plant in the solution and shake the shit out of it! Seriously move the buds around to agitate and clean, then shake off in tote and go into the clean water to rinse. You are going to be amazed at the trash and oil that come off of them! Shake them off after rinsing and shake as much water as you can out. They are now ready to hang to dry or buck off buds to go in a drying machine.

Damn. That’s just not possible for me to do. I don’t have the space, and that would be a ton of water

If it turns out to be a pest. I’ve taken branches off my plants to do a budwash on them. I can use smaller totes that way. @Growdoc is right, you’d be amazed what comes out.

I could probably do each individual branch in 5 gallon buckets. Do you still add a cup of peroxide? Should I just harvest early you think? I am on day 65, I was gonna wait another week.

I wouldn’t chop early, but definitely give them a good looking over and see what you got first. Hopefully it’s nothing!

I’m not even sure how I could of gotten them. It’s been under 20 degrees outside for a while, and it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna get any warmer anytime soon. and we just got like 15 inches of snow.

I’m not sure what they are. But I’m pretty sure that back in the 80s when I went to my prom I caught a case of them and “RID” took care of it in a couple of days

I would base the harvest on Tricombes rather than days. Breeders estimated times rarely are accurate. Trichs don’t lie.

I clip individual branches and wash them in 5 gallon buckets. I put about a cup of peroxide into 5 gallons of warm water. Submerge and shake vigorously then remove and shake the crap out of them then into the rinse bucket. I also use a bucket with a 1/2 cup of baking soda and a cup of lemon juice into about 5 gallons of warm water but just the peroxide and water is good enough. I mostly grow outside, but I wash everything I grow inside or outside. It doesn’t wash off the tricomes or not enough to matter.
