Hello! I have my plants growing outdoors. They look pretty healthy to me, but I have noticed that the leaves are displaying tiny white spots. The spots seem to be accumulating mostly on the lower leaves. I thought initially they might be spider mites, but thought I’d see what people around here think.
looks like there might be a tiny white fly or an aphid on one of the leaves in the first picture when you zoom in
I would recommend checking the underside of the leafs for pests first. Might be something munching down on your crop.
I’m with @Jmesser80 get your loop or pocket scope and look close under and on top
mites ???
Thanks for the input! I pulled out a magnifying glass and looked closely for any bugs, but didn’t see anything obvious. I still sprayed the plants down with some Captain Jacks to be sure and I haven’t noticed any new leaves with these spots popping up.
However, now a few of my plants have leaves with yellow spots Looks like septoria to my novice eye. What’s the best way to take care of this, other than removing the affected leaves?
