Hey guys. New here and to growing. This is my first year and the plants are outdoors. I am having limbs die left and right. They turn brown in a small section then just fall over and die. I found a small bug near one of the affected spots but I'm not sure if it's a beneficial mite, bad mite, or something else.. It is yellow with a brown butt, about the size of a flea. This same thing also affected a branch on my tomato plant..20160807_133935.jpg 20160807_130113.jpg

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Oh...and:

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. And remember anyone may have a well-known member status…but that means they have posted and responded to many threads and does not always mean well-educated growerz. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

Soaking up all that information and sifting through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

Thanks ! So far it has been a huge learning experience, I'm just trying to make as little mistakes as possible while I learn. From what I have found online it looks like a pirate mite. I have some better pictures I will upload shortly .
