Please confirm this isn't a problem. :) See attached images.

This appeared in the first few days of flowering. It is only happening to one of the two genetics im flowing but is affecting multiple plants. I'm guessing its is just caused by me bumping the plant or rapid growth breaking the plant. I see no signs of bugs but if this is a bug bite it's time to do some bug hunting. These ladies are cooking under a 600w HPS about 30-32 inches from the bulb.

It doesn't look like anything bad
As long as the plant looks good as a whole than I wouldn't worry

i seen on another thread white bug things and when you take them off sap comes out, so if you see little barnacle like bugs, then its a big deal

I think I may have found the son of a bitch! Can someone identify this bug for me? Whether or not he is friend or foe he is too damn scary looking to stay in my garden. And he had the balls to land on my belly as I was trimming. Creepy looking bastard.

Oh I live in Colorado btw.

thats a box elder beetle if im not mistaken, i asked the same question 6 months ago and i was told not to worry about them outside cuz they prefer to only eat boxelder trees if possible, inside it might have attacked the plant i suppose though since it doesnt have any trees to feed on. to be honest though i really doubt he's to blame

Yeah that is NOT a box elder bug, but it is a true bug like the box elder bug. It looks like a stink bug, but I couldn't tell you for sure without a dissection scope. :sad: I read a bit about stink bugs on google, and it says that some are predators but they will eat your plant in absence of food. The website also said they are usually not a problem because sprays you use to take out other pests will also take out the stink bug. I would suggest something like neem or pyrethrin if you see signs of these guys again.


This is a box elder bug, btw:

He's a dead bug.

btw he isnt resistant to the stuff in the attached image. It took a while to kill him but it eventually went belly up. Now I gotta spend more time checking for eggs. Fuck bugs!

The plants have been checked for more bugs and eggs (like im really going to see those...). So far all is clean. Hopefully the problem doesn't come back in a few days/weeks.

Thank you everyone for your help.
