Spidermite damage but no bugs?!

Thanks for all your answers! I didn't get any notifications so just seeing them now. I managed to keep them at bay with a mixture of cayenne pepper soaked in water, then some neem oil and detergent. seemed to fix it :) I've been thinking its spider mite this whole time though lol.

Californian thrips probably

Looks and sounds like thrips. Get some Dr. Zymes or BT spray. Here's a link for a Dr. Zymes sampler, you just have to pay shipping for it: www.doctorzymes.com/wizard

Looks more like early thrip damage, not mites.

hahahaha! Garlic juice... good luck smoking THAT!

Yes looks like Thrip damage can be treated with some garlic juice by bio green or some Dr zymes

That is most likely thrip damage... but it doesn't matter what kind of leaf-sucking insect you have, you can treat it with either Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad... both are organic (although Canada does not recognize Spinosad as organic) and both can be sprayed up to the day of harvest. Mix as directed and spray tops and bottoms of leaves just before lights out... they'll be gone. Good luck!

if i find this on older leaves with no bugs in site and no spread over time... i just assume it's not a bug. i see a few marks on a few leaves a few weeks ago that looked like this... no spread, no bugs, no webs... clearly not an infestation. So at least one other thing can cause those shiny spots. or maybe somethign that passed along and did not like what was for dinner (marijuana leaf). do you use foliar sprays? some things are a bit oily and could leave spots. can't be 100% certain, but does not look like wpm... it doesn't progress like that. it generally doesn't start as several colonies on a leaf... at least not until one has been there for 10-20 days and producing spores. it's there before we can see it for sure, but it'll present is a circulr white fuzzy appearance. a magnifying glass will show something unnatural and impossible to confuse with trichomes when u see it.
