Mealybugs buddy quite rare actully ive never seen them before in a grow here is some info I have found online that might help you buddy :) When you need to get rid of mealybugs on your houseplants, you've got several options. Patience and persistence are the keys. First, isolate the infested plant or plants so the bugs don't get a chance to spread further. Then, take a closer look to figure out how bad the problem is because this will help you decide how to deal with the pests. Rubbing Alcohol If the infested plant is small or there aren't many mealybugs, dab the insects with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol. This will kill and wipe off the bugs, as well as clean away the honeydew. The alcohol will dry quickly without hurting your plant, but it's always a good idea to test a leaf and wait a day to see how each plant responds. Jet of Water You can also remove mealybugs from your houseplants with a strong jet of water. Take your potted plants outside (as long as temperatures are above 50˚F) and use your hose to spray them down. Don't forget to hit the undersides of leaves. In addition to blasting off the bugs, you'll also be rinsing away any sticky residue, plus cleaning off dust and dirt on your plants at the same time. However, this method isn't a good choice for delicate plants or those that don't like a lot of water. Insecticide For the most stubborn mealybug infestations, using insecticidal soap or neem oil on them should do the trick. Spray thoroughly over all the white patches on your plant, making sure to get into the stem crevices and under leaves. As with any pesticide, always read and follow all instructions on the label to effectively and safely use these products. Repeat the treatment of choice every few days until there are no signs of pests. Sometimes, mealybugs will infest your plants' roots, and it's nearly impossible to completely eliminate the pests then. In this case, the easiest thing to do would be to toss the plant to keep the pests from spreading to your other plants.

Hey Buddy ich hab grade mal etwas recherchiert. Das auf dem link sieht leider stark danach aus. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/barnacles-scales These unusual bugs hang out on your stems and under your leaves without moving. Scale insects suck the life out of stems and leaves, weakening your plant if the infestation gets out of hand. They may also release a sweet sticky substance known as “honeydew” (similar to aphids) which can attract ants and cause dark patches of sooty mold to appear on your plant. Luckily, scales aren’t the worst bugs for cannabis plants as they are relatively easy to remove, but you should get rid of them as soon as you notice them. Wax scale insects are like barnacles on your plants. They gather on your stems and leaves but basically stop moving once they find a spot they like. Scales can look like different things even though they all act the same. Some scale insects look like round growths on the plant, while others actually look like bugs. Auf dem link findest du auch Vorschläge wie du es wieder loswerden kannst.
