What is this that looks like sawdust?

Check for bugs and get Jack’s dead bug spray it can be used up until harvest

Looks like aphids, still out off focus photo,…they do appear pear shaped.
Here’s a simple descriptor.
Aphids, also known as “plant lice,” are small, soft-bodied, pear-shaped insects with long antennae in the front and two short “tailpipes” in the rear.

That CJDB is gonna help you, will likely take a few applications as your infestation appears pretty massive.

That’s a massive infestation. If you have a scope or macro lense you’ll see. Those are really hard to get rid of. Absolutely start on CLDB and take any large fans that have egg sacks underneath.

Is an indoor plant that you’ve brought outside by chance?

@Underthestairs nope its been in the tent all along,there are actually 2 plants but only one got infested,i took them both out and since it was watering time i put them in the shower and washed both off. The only thing i can think of is that i turned my exhaust fan backwards to give more air and left the tent open.Can i and should ispray the buds with the Capt.jacks also?

Good eye @Pet_de_Chien . Those are definitely bugs.

You should make sure every part of the plant gets wet with solution. Soak it good when lights are off so it won’t lens burn it.

Thats what i needed to know,thanks.

That’s a bummer , you definitely have some nice JH buds stacking up. Good luck :v:

I would put a trash bag around the pot so the dead bug doesn’t drip into it as much and I would spray it till she’s literally soaked probably 3 to 4 days in a row and then cut back to once a week.

Like others have said during lights out and I would probably lower humidity as much as I could on those nights.

Good luck

Okay,shes almost ready for harvest,i figured about 7 ,10days tops.

Plenty of time to read up on “Bud Wash” process (multi vessel), You’re gonna want to step up the h202 / rinse a couple times I am guessing to try and free/clear up and rinse off some of the snap, crackle, pop critters.

I just douced both plants with the capt jack,and yesterday i rinsed both plants in the shower even thou only one looked infestedand in a few minutes im going toclean the tent with blach water.

Thanks, thats great news. I douced both plants with Capt.Jack and tomorrow will rinse them again. I still cant figure out how they came to be on my plant.

There is in aphid with wings that lays one single egg just keeps multiplying…the good thing is they are very slow and not bright so once you knock them off with water they cant climb back up the plant …they pretty much crap eat and multiply in place until you notice it they literally suck

Like space invaders on your plant

I was good at space invaders

Lmfao then pretend the hose are the missles …CJDB is a great product …but getting rid of aphids on your buds can be accomplished the same with water …you just need to be gentle and dry them off just like they were rained on …I was probably even more aggressive than necessary with the water spray and my buds were fine …I’m not saying don’t use Capn jacks I’m just saying kicking them off the plant will create less of them laying eggs and if you are persistent you’ll completely get rid of them with just water

@Lacewing thanks for the advice,i saturated both plants with CJDB and then 2 days later took a shower with both of them to wash off the little bugs(my wife thinks my hobby has become an obsession) but i think the water shower worked better. Will they hurt the harvest and do you think a bud wash after harvest is a nessasery thing?

Bud wash for sure indoors or out and I think you will be fine !! Just keep on them and they’ll be gone they are the easiest pest to get rid of
