Tiny Yellow Balls/Eggs on underside of pot near roots - Pics included

I was checking roots today on some of my babies and I lifted a couple pots and found a old dead leaf on the underside of the pot that had these small yellow balls (likely eggs?). I found another similarly infected dead leaf a few inches away on another pot. I checked all of my trays after that and did not see any further sign of dead leaves or eggs attached. I washed the tray's and sprayed them with azimax.

I believe I just overcame a spidermite issue (ongoing battle, but looks like they are no longer reproducing and the adults are dead). From what I read this does not appear to be their eggs (as they are on the leaves and in the soil?)

Only mention of yellow eggs I could find were 'Whiteflies' which I do not have.

If anyone knows what these are I would appreciate it, I am trying to prevent any further outbreak.

Kill it with fire!!!!!!!

Tried that, didnt work. Perhaps identifying will help me gain the experience necessary to destroy these fire-proof eggs.

Is the plant outside? Or did you keep soil outside before you used it? How old are the plants? Do you have a mag glass? What do they look like up close? Any micro pics?

Sorry, I forgot to provide the necessary details Indoor using coco medium. Up close I cannot see anything to speak of other than they are just really small yellow balls. The first pic was actually using a magnifying glass against my camera to provide some closer view. I must have taken 30 pictures before I got the quality of the ones provided so unfortunately I dont have better

I was hoping it was a common bug. The only fact I can provide is that the eggs were only attached to the leaf, so it would have to be a insect that lays eggs on dead leaves.

The plants in question are less than a month, however I must notate that I found the eggs basically underneath the pot between the tray and the bottom of the pot. It doesnt appear that it was in any way attached to the plant or the medium itself.

Thanks!

That leaf is just decomposing, completely normal.

Perhaps the quality of the picture does not do it proper justice, but anyone can see there is clusters of little round yellow balls surrounding the leaf. That clearly implies eggs. Dying leaves decompose but do not extract physica round objects externally attached to the leaf

Yeah this really doesn't sound like a personal problem. Put the leaf in a jar, if you see bugs in the jar, piss around your plants.. That's what they did in humbolt county...

Neem oil.. Spray!!

Must. Kill. Aphids...!!!

Or ladybugs...

Part of running a successful room is correcting problems before they become un-correctable. This experience is what makes people successful at growing, despite what most people think. Anyone can follow a schedule, but no one can inherently know signs of specific pestilence, and pestilence is the most common problem that deadstops cycles or creates so much stress that the plant will not yield quantity or quality.

The last thing I need is a infestation to break out in the last 3 weeks of a cycle in the ajoining room. I know your advice is a attempt at practicality, but it is not wise advice. You do not wait for problems to occur and then attempt to correct them after they occur.

If anyone has idea's as to what would lay yellow eggs then I would appreciate opinions.

Dude I just told you. Their aphids. Spray neem oil on the plants or just through lady bugs in your room. I apologize for the post you just quoted. Shouldn't have said that. Aphids are some rough bastards

Sorry, I mis-read the post, I didn't realize you were specifically saying they were aphids. Yes, it does appear they can have yellow eggs and they are common enough that it is in all likelyhood them.

Roger and will do.

Thank you!

Not a problem. Hope it's good smoke brother
