I have plants in a tall tunnel, part plastic, part bug screen. So it's large bug mostly sealed, which is a mixed blessing. It keeps the moths off that lay bud worm eggs, but it also keeps the predator bugs out that eat smaller pests. I'm not even sure if this is pest related, I see no webbing, so I'm thinking it's not spider mites. Any thoughts? At full magnification I can see small larva looking things... ???

Try spraying them with a mild soap mixture or get an organic spray at q garden center.

Thanks, I should have mentioned they are all flowering at various stages, and even though they were all sprouted within a few days of each other, there is a wide range of how far along they are, with anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks left to go.
 
Safer is a good brand of insecticidal soap and it will wash off easily. In fact if it rains you will to re-apply it if the bugs are still bothering you. Home Depot carries it, not sure about other stores.

I would wash it off if you are about to harvest, it is fairly safe but its possible it would make the buds taste soapy. It would be a clean high though! :eyebrows:

I’ve seen similar issues on my outdoor photos. Dr Zymes seems to help quite a bit. Can be used up until harvest. If you go to their official site, you can get a free sample. I believe you have to pay around $3 for shipping. The free sample makes about a gallon’s worth of spray. That lasted me about 3 days worth of spraying. I have 4 photos outside ranging between 6-9’ in height, and in flower. I sprayed conservatively, but after the solution ran out, I was convinced enough to order a quart of the concentrate. Just arrived today actually and I used it more liberally.
