Are you talking about the white specs or the black dots?

Could be caterpillar poops…or dirt.

I was treating them for what i thought was Thrips. So i got some deadbug and have been spraying them.

I was curious of the black dots.

I think one of the bigger white pieces are a little ash that blew off my doobie lol.

The white stuff wont rub off the leaf. The black dots rub off.

The tiny little black dots move! I am not sure what they are.

I have been apraying captain jacks dead bug on them, i just coated the tops and bottoms of the leaves with it.

So good to hear a smoker still smokin “Doobies”…so many cant even roll a joint by hand anymore.

The white dots looks like thrip damage. Keep using Capt. Jacks and you should be OK.



Oh Nooo!!!

Kinda look like a spider mite… :thinking:
Do you have any webbing on your plants?

@Caligurl is pretty good with bugs :bug: :ok_hand:

It looks like a bird mite. If so, they don’t eat plants, they feed on the blood of birds

I put blood meal in the soil mix… if that is what they are, could this have made it worse?

I think blood meal is dehydrated blood from cattle?

No I don’t think that’s why they are there. Is it hot where you are? Are there chicken coops or anything like that nearby?

Your video is unavailable. You need to make it public.

I fixed the video. No, there are no chicken coops or anything near me. My grow room is built in a not so sealed well wooden shed though.

Can you just take a screenshot or clip from the video?

The video plays for me, and it’s not age restricted. So I could view it from here… :thinking:
