Look under leaves for pests as @MidwestGuy :point_up_2: said. Jack’s dead bug spray can be used right up to harvest.

Is there any exposed wood above them? That looks like what Carpenter Bees leave when boring into wood.

What is CJDB @Pet_de_Chien

No wood its in my grow tent

That’s some kind of bug for sure. Like mentioned, I’d get jacks dead bug on it immediately, and you’ll have to wash your buds when you harvest, which I do anyways.

“Captain Jacks Dead Bug” spray or any Spinosad containing. If getting the CJDB, get the concentrate and a spray bottle or a little half gallon pump sprayer.

If you try to get a more in focus photo, we can try to tell you what bug it is. Looks like aphid to me, but not 100%

Thanks for the tag @Newt
I can’t make any kind of determination what they are however could be mealybugs ,if they look like lint …or could be white aphids in which case I would spray them off with water only every day until you no longer see them …if you shake the plant and they jump off and back on they are whiteflies…The CJDB should take care of whatever it is …
