looks like insect poo, I would check your buds for possible caterpillers or other things…

Tag an experienced grower like@Hellraiser or @kellydans

Welcome to the community ! Yeah I see what your talkin about, honestly I have never dealt with anything like this. I’m with @Ron330 if it doesn’t move could be droppings from a insect. I’ll tag in a couple more set of eyes. @Oldguy @Zee

@Covertgrower. I don’t know what that is. Bug or bug poop is my guess

Definitely bug poop of some kind, but I zoomed in on a picture and it almost looks like a possible spider mite…

Looks like a big bug if it is droppings or coud be pupas of soome sort. Can you remove some and take pic clearly of them only check if they move? If they dont move maybe you cat go in there and used it a liter box and flung some dirt un there my cat did before …little shit head :wink:

Its bugs for sure looks like maybe aphids,

Looks like possible sooty mold is starting to build on upper sugar leaves, trichomes are still clear what should be my next step

Your PH is 5.8 but your in soil so it should be 6.5

But bugs is also a huge issue the team above has you covered.

Edit: aphids
