So the other day I noticed a few white spots on all my vegging plants. Sorry I cant post pics. After consulting my grow bible I was sure it was spider mites but after examining with a microscope, I'm pretty sure its not. It exhibits the normal white spots like spider mites, yet (1) the white spots seem to be glossy with no webbing in sight, and (2) I found the little fuckers under a microscope. They seem to like the area where the leaves meet. I can't find any pest in my bible that fits the description, so I'll do my best....
They are white to translucent, have six legs with a very large abdomen (under a microscope and compared to the rest of their body), obviously leave white marks on my newly vegged plants (it hasn't spread to my flower tent), however it does appear to be in small evidence (its not rampant but I see then little fuckers on a few leaves) in my mother/clone tent. The white spots seem glossy in color and it doesn't seem to be affecting my plants in a very harmful way.
A few background notes that might help whoever stops on this page,
I live in high altitude colorado, I have a controlled tent/tents for a small time personal grow room. No webbing and I can visibly see the infestation and it doesn't look like mites in the slightest. Its not mold or any of the other answers a quick search on google gave me.
Please help!
