Hey everyone, I'm a new grower working on my first grow here and just found about 5 "egg looking" things on two leaf stems.

Are these spider mite eggs or some other type of egg? Any help on what they are and how to deal with them will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Check the undersides of leafs on that plant. If they are mites you will see them.

I've checked the leaves out. No mites or anything to be found?? I don't see any more of these shiny white things either?

should I just get proactive and spray either Mighty Wash or Neem Oil on all my plants?

I hope I caught it early. I don't see any other eggs or any egg laying bugs. I'll spray some Neem oil around and just keep looking.

If anyone knows what they are I'd love to hear it, Thanks

looks like thrips eggs. to me.. id go get some Monterey Insect Spray. with Spinosad.. and spray for preventative measures man.. those things are not to be fucked with. they suck.. literally the life out the leaves.. full grown ones will be like fruit flys .. and smaller.. look kinda like flees.. they jump around and shit.. leave a silvery white patch of dead leaves

Mites, thrips, white flys, wtf ever. You need to get genocidal now, before its too late.

Pick up a can or two of Dr Doom now!

Spray your garden, wait for 3 days, then spray again. Also invest in some Hot Shot No-Pest Strips:

Combining these two, and you will not have critter problems.

Neem is a preventative, but just go with the Dr. doom sm Knock Out.

I went on a Mighty Wash killing spree! covered every inch of the garden. Should I follow up with more Mighty Wash in 3-4 days or hit some Neem Oil at that point?

I also gave each girl a good look and didn't see any more eggs, or any other creepy crawleys. I hope I caught it early and killed freely
