After doing a very extensive inspection of this plant which is roughly 3 weeks away from harvest (looking at trichomes) I saw this crap on 2 of the buds. From what I can tell it's only on these 2 bud which happen to be next to each other on the plant. It is hardly visable to the naked eye, saw them while checking trichomes at 60x magnified.

Is this that bad? Should I remove them? Can I spray with a peroxide solution? The grow space is 57% humidity and 80 degrees ATM.

I see zero powdery mildew or mold on and stems leaves or branches. I looked over this plant meticulously. It's just these tiny spots about the side of a fat seed.

you using a carbon filter ?

does it have a white sleeve filter over it ?

I find that kinda very fine synthetic fiber can get on the buds see it with small grows where the filter is close to the plants all the time

could be that

they are micro fibers, could even be cat hair ?

In my panic haste I uploaded unzoomed in pics. Here are some new ones. I have no filter for this single plant. I was just grown because I had a bag seed and it became a robust young thing so i decided to put together a make shift grow box and see what I could do with this one.

I have seen 3 pests on this plant in it's lifetime, all three dead fungus nats. Aside from that I've only seen a few tiny spiders crawling around the grow area, and even removed some cob webs. Here are some fresh pics.

I'm starting to thing I will give a H202 bath at harvest regardless, Jeorge Cervants style. New pics, tricomes included.

As mentioned check the underside of your leaves. Looks like webs, which could mean spider mites. Here is what the the leaf looks like on top. Makes it pretty easy to tell if you have mites.

I didnt see any mites, maybe they've eluded me. But I did see this on some damage on three of the older leaves, but not on the branches with these buds, does it look like SM damage?. Also after closer inspection I found some cobweb near the base of the main stalk as well as a tiny spider.

With any luck, that little guy or his buddies laid that webbing you found. Not really harmful to the plant other than the web, whereas spider mites could decimate it in the three weeks you have left.

Fingers crossed. I'm fairly certain my OCD has me overly worried. Other than those two tiny spots I see nothing else to really worry about, and I looked at every bud on this plant even the small lower branches. My back is killing me from contorting around with a loupe going over and entire plant. I'll be watching these spots for activity and keep checking for mites and other critters. The only pests I've even encountered in the past were Aphids and they nearly killed off some white widow/NL#5 cross plants before I was able to get rid of them. There is a spider abundance where this grow is happening, and I've noticed PM on the weeds outside, so who knows.

Live and learn. Next time I'll be using a proper grow tent and be better prepared. It's been a while, but it's like riding a bike.

I have had spiders and spider mites in my flower room. I'll take spiders any day. Just had a small prob with spider mites this last run. Thankfully they only had made it to the lower larfy stuff. I didn't notice them till harvest. I attribute them to my dogs getting in my room a couple times. I bombed the room after.
