Any one know who this little critter is on my leaf??? Tiny little gray spot in the middle of the leaf sorta quick moving ... Sorry about the pic but its so tiny I had to zoom way in with my Iphone to get a pic of it... There are a few of them on the tops of the leafs none underneath though only on the top side..

Sorry ..too blurry.

Yea I know its blurry but best I can do I was hoping someone could recognize it , It looks like a spider mite to me but there on the tops of the leaves. But they are leaving light colored trails in some of my older leaves... Im upping the humidity a bit and gonna mist daily to see it it runs em off.

Upping RH will cause critters to search out your grow FYI.

Yea I know . Im not to worried about new pests getting in Im thinking these are soil born from the soil I used cause it wasn't sterilized. You can see in this pic the little trails on the older leaves, specifically the single and triple blade leaves. This is a 14 day old from seed barneys farm Pineapple express auto fem.

Well it would be the smallest big foot I ever saw.....lol

kill em all, let god sort them out !!

No, really its no lady bug so get some natural (gentle) repellant.

Some Pesticides will stress them bad so get some green stuff from wally world but too much can screw up your ph in the process so be careful.

Good luck.

the big fan leaf at 6-7 o'clock has leaf miner. as much as i hate to say it, i would remove the leaf. leaf miners are nothing to mess with. i just got over a bout with them again. keep a close eye on the leaves looking for trails or serpentine lines in the leaf. the insects, at that stage of their life, live between the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf. when the insects turn into adults, which are small moths, they will lay eggs on the leaves to continue the cycle.

i wouldn't mist seedlings unless there's feed in the spray

Its far past the seedling stage, at 14 days with several side branches all ready. You cant see it in the pic because I have it in lst right now , but the stalk is already almost as big as a pencil. Its actually bent 90 degrees right now, to let the lower branches get some light.

some people like foliar feeding but you do better by misting the bottom of the leaves than the top.

 

[hunterdog111299]

Well I don't know what the critter was , but with daily mistings top and bottom of leaves they appear to be gone and all is well , the girl is thriving . As you can see she has made a lot of progress in the past 5 days , and is now starting to preflower. This is under a 100 watt hps kept about 4 inches from the top , minor lst from the first sign of horizontal branching.
