Do I have bugs?!?!

Do I have bugs?? I noticed these little black dots appearing the last week or 2 on my auto, I've taken a couple off with tweezers, they are super tiny, but I've never seen them moving, tried getting good pics under jewelers loupe, I still can't tell what I'm looking at

Ah, that definitely looks like scale insects. Because of their tough, protective shells, standard sprays usually won't do much good here. If the infestation hasn't completely gotten out of hand yet, you can tackle them manually. Just dip a cotton swab in 70% rubbing alcohol and dab it right onto the individual bugs to kill them on contact. It is tedious, but it avoids using heavy chemical fungicides, which you definitely want to keep far away from your plants during the flowering stage. You might think a higher percentage like 90% or 99% alcohol would work better, but it actually evaporates too fast to kill the pests effectively. Plus, high-percentage alcohol acts as a really harsh solvent. It can instantly dissolve, strip, or burn your plant's delicate resin glands and trichomes. The 70% mix is much gentler, giving you time to clear out the bugs without destroying the plant's surface. Nobody likes having to treat their plants during flower, but this is definitely the safest path forward.

Was ich da sehe macht eher den Anschein eines winzigen Samens einer anderen Pflanze, bin mir nicht sicher welche. Könnte aber durch Kleidung oder Haare ins Zelt gelangt sein. Haben die Dinger sich den jemals bewegt? Das würde meine Hypothese natürlich widerlegen. Machen jetzt aber keinen dramatischen Eindruck, und so spät in der Blüte kann dir höchstens noch die Spinnmilbe die Ernte vollständig versauen, und Pilze natürlich. Bin mir aber ziemlich sicher, daß es beides nicht ist. Viel Spaß mit deiner baldigen Ernte! Evt. diese vor dem trocknen in kaltem Wasser abwaschen. 🍀💚
