I have these white eggs like things on my stem. Any idea what they could be? I noticed something small like moving done the stem. Then I couldn't find it again. Looked like a scorpion shape but the tail was flat down?
Doesn't look like a mite egg. They are perfectly round almost.Sorry. I am baked and forgot to add the photo lol.
Ya that looks like a mite and eggs. That's probably what the rove beetle was munching on if that's what it was, but I'm guessing it was if it looked like you described.Ok, so I got a closer look at the eggs as well I noticed some tiney things I assume are Mites.
The neem oil you purchase will have instructions. You can dip your whole plants in a solution pre flower, or you can mix it up in a sprayer and spray the foliage for a few days.Yea, those little mites aren't the same as the other bug I noticed. Any ideas as to the best method to get rid of these?
I have read about Neem oil. Any specific mixtures would be much appreciated.
Awesome. Thanks a lot. I am going to look into this. I am growing a 4x4 tent so that should work.There's a lot of ways to handle mites. I got the spider mites a few grows ago, but my beneficial guys took care of them. I haven't seen any since I actually witnessed a big-eyed bug eat a mite while I was scoping them. It was crazy.

All my predators came from vermicompost from BAS so far. But you can buy beneficial insects separately too.

Spraying them is an option also, but I am trying to avoid having to spray if I can. So far these guys are doing their job.
I researched the Rove Beetle. I did find what I thought I saw. Good call, thanks for all the help.Ya that looks like a mite and eggs. That's probably what the rove beetle was munching on if that's what it was, but I'm guessing it was if it looked like you described.
Ya no problem. When you said it looked like a scorpion with its tail down I knew what it was. Mine like to do a lot more exploring after a fresh watering, and so I notice them more after I do. It's a cool little helper.I researched the Rove Beetle. I did find what I thought I saw. Good call, thanks for all the help.
