MistaOCanswered grow question 1mo ago Based on its appearance, it is most likely a spider mite or possibly a whitefly — both are common pests on cannabis plants.
Most likely diagnosis: Spider mite (e.g., Tetranychus urticae)
• Size: Tiny, often around 0.5 mm
• Color: Transparent, whitish, or reddish
• Location: Often found on the undersides of leaves and young growth
• Symptoms: Fine webbing, tiny pale spots on leaves (from feeding)
Alternative possibility: Whitefly
• Size: Around 1 mm
• Color: White, usually with wings
• Location: Also prefers the underside of leaves
• Symptoms: Sticky residue (honeydew), yellowing leaves, possible leaf curling

What you can do:
1. Use a magnifying glass or microscope to identify whether it’s a mite or a fly.
2. Inspect the plant carefully, especially the undersides of leaves.
3. Watch for symptoms like yellowing, webbing, or deformation.
4. Treatment options:
• Biological: Neem oil, beneficial predators (e.g., Phytoseiulus persimilis for spider mites)
• Mechanical: Rinse the plant with water to dislodge pests.
