What's on my leaf?

[Keegan12L]

Found this on one of my White Widow's 2 days into flower. Anyone know what it is? 4-5 days prior I did find a couple very small bugs that were bronze with dark spots(it was hard to tell) on my tent floor. Looked almost like a very small off colored ladybug. I've found nothing else on the leaves besides this and no other bugs or issues I could find.

looks like some kind of salt... maybe you splashed something on it? definitely not mildew....

It's possible I could have splashed something on it when changing the res. As long as no mildew or bugs! Lol. Thanks!

Not that it is anything, at all.
Its only a tiny bit of finger, on a leaf. You can always snip things like that off. For peace of mind.
I do think it is just salt too.

Good to know. I might do that when the lights come on just in case. Thanks!

just take a damp paper towel and wipe it off. keep an eye on it for a day or two, chances are its nothing. but if you wipe it off and it starts coming back....then it's not nothing

Just found this outside my tent(in the same room). I found 2 of these 4-5 days earlier walking on the bottom of my tent and looked everywhere, but found nothing. This one was caught in a bucket of water i had out. Any idea what it is?

Well. Its got 6 legs, so it aint a mite.
How big is it?
Looks kind of like a young stink, or citrus bug, we get here in Aus. Which ive never seen eat cannabis.
Though i can't say.
Have you tried an image matching search? Im pretty sure, you can do that with some phones, and google now.

It was quite small. Maybe 1/2 or 1/4 size of ladybug. I live in U.S on West coast. I tried looking it up, but cant find anything to match. All the ones I found were NOT on the plant though so I'm not sure if it is harmful or not. Still curious though =)

It may just be, a type of stink bug dude.
Though your pic is blurry, it displays a striking resemblance to a 5th instar nymph in this link-

I'd say yours is most likely a different species. Though check out the order, genus on the wiki.
It may just help.

it looks like a potato or stink bug, i wouldn't be too worried about those, at least as far as them eating your plants

Thanks guys! I'll keep an eye out just in case.

I ended up doing some research and asking around. Turns out it's a Carpet Beetle, just in case anyone finds any of these.

I think they can be if there are a lot or no other food source. I vacuumed and cleaned real well just in case. They haven't caused me any problems tho
