Eggs or trichomes? First grow need help deciphering from experienced growers

[Steve Jobs]

Sorry they aren’t the best quality close ups. Tough using the microscope and phone camera. I’m just worried i have mite eggs. Pretty young plants. These are top leaf shots not the under side. Too difficult getting a close up under the leaf

I should add I had some black spiders creeping the floor in the tent. They were big enough to see and to see their legs but still small. I attached picture of one.

That's tough to tell. How sterile is your grow environment?

Being seedlings, and they look fine, I'd clean everything around them. And watch. Maybe hit them with some water mist under the leaves. Those pics under the scope don't show much, sorry. Back it off a bit or just flip them over for us.

Don't panic. Clean, clean, and clean around them and don't worry about those other spiders in the tent they'll help more then they'll harm.

You're ok.

I usually see spider mites on the underside of the leaves. I can recognize them now by eye but a scope helps. You won't have tric's now so... But yes I would just clean up real good and keep an eye on them.

Peace

Was just posting bout this. I went through these same emotions. Google sessile glands under magnification and come back and tell me what you think.

Use neem oil, 1 tsp,
A couple of drops of dish soap,
Luke warm water.

Put neem oil in its closed container in a cup of warm water for 10minutes first. Neem oil coagulates. Shake it up and add all ingredients to a spray bottle.

Spray the underside of the leaves and on the top, and wet your soil and spray around your pot.

Its harmless to your plant but will smother the mites and kill them. Mites don't like the taste of neem also.
