Bugs? Wtf.

Hey all. I’ve been growing for a little over a year now and I haven’t had much problem with bugs which leads me here. I cannot seem to find extremely accurate info on my problem from what I’m searching so I’m here to ask y’all if this is 100% bug eggs. Not sure about mites of aphids as the pages I look at explain it different than the problem I’m having.

I’ve noticed this microscopic milky looking eggs on the top of my cannabis leaves. They seem to be on all 4 of my plants and only on the top center-ish leaves. I’ve had no signs of mites of aphids and I’ve got a fan softly blowing on the plants so I’m unsure of why I have this issue. Humidity around 50-55% and temp around 22-23cduring the day and 20c at night. I have noticed what looks like little chews out of the leaves but I can’t find a single bug anywhere.
at the same time I’m wondering if also a remedy to possibly remove them as I don’t wanna kill the plant.
Thanks and sorry if this is super dumb !image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

I don't see the eggs but perhaps earwigs are living under the pots and coming out at lights off
I would start by elevating the plants and maybe inspect underneath everything

I included a couple pictures in the attachment section to show the microscope. I can send em here too D8218978-E338-4381-BC40-6A95C4189560.jpegD44FAFAD-9106-4807-A2B9-6FE8BEF946F3.jpeg

Can you give more info on breeder and variety. I assume all 4 are the same since they started exhibiting at the same time. You may have a super plant or mis labeled autos or something is causing early flowering. My plants did not show trics until day 20 of 12x12. All better than bugs.

It's just a plant secretion. I bet if you look close enough they are coming from those fine hairs on your leaf. I do not think they are bug eggs.
Not sure if they have thc or not

They are all from on-house genetics and are the strain Apple Jax. I do have different strains in another room that are presenting the same problem but not showing as bad, but their all from in-house genetics

Interesting I thought the secretion was always clear? These are deep white, but I’ll certainly investigate again to see if I can see your example. Would they in theory wipe off if I touch them too much?

Not sure never tried wiping them off.
I brought some leaves to my local grow shop with what I thought might be eggs on the top of my plants they were also kinda white. Came to the conclusion they were a secretion from the fine hairs on the leaves. Possibly to try and deter animals from eating its leaves.
Just my .02

My thoughts, If there were that many eggs you would have to be able to spot some live insect, larvae, nyphh or adult. somewhere. I could be wrong.

That’s a very rational response, I’m starting to think I assumed the worst and just went with it..
