Small white insect seen on microscope over leaves

[JMD]

Hi, have encountered this this morning and would really appreciate some help!! Thanks!!

- Problem: was checking the trichomes with a small microscope and notice something moving... it was a very small white thing, like a work with legs or something like his. No apparent harm to the plants apart from the late cycle yellowing and some burnt tips
-Medium/grow method: soil
-Feed and supplements used: Advanced nutrients, most of the products
-Water source: tap- dechlorinated with filter
-Strain and age: Think different, 13 weeks
-Climate: day with an AC on on the side of the air intake, around 22c. Day without ac / night up to 27-28. All inside tent
- Light used: cxb3590 cob 50w
-Additional info: Had 4 plants and already harvested 2, with no issues. This morning have seem this in one of the leaves and will harvest it when I get home. The issue is I have another one which could stay for a week more and not sure if I should cut it before it spreads... Also probably a silly question, can we still smoke it ?

--Pictures cant take on the microscope....

More info please better description unfortunately due to necessity I have become rather good at slaying bugs but I need to know what were dealing with looks like .

Also, was there only one? Are they many under or on top of the leaves?

The buds you can smoke, the bugs,not so much!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!!

I could only see one, but was a sample leave I took for checking the trichomes... It couldn't be seen by naked eye, so very difficult to do a broader review... have taken 3 leaves more and couldnt find it again...

Think not that worried by those plants as will probably harvest them today... but not sure if when drying / curating / smoking it could be an issue... what do you think? Also for the next grow, will change pots and clean the tray, would it be enough?

@MedCzech what would you do? Try to look more through it and discard buds where I see this thing?

Woooooo there boy! No worries man. At this point, that may have just been a visitor. Calm down. You are totally fine.
Get out the magnifying glass, turn some of the leaves and buds over and look around. If ou don't find anymore, totally let it go. If you do, you are still going to be ok. If it I said aphids, they just lay these little white pod things around and those can be scraped off the bud with no harm to you. If they are spider mites, than you still don't have to worry because there isn't enough time I ever for them to infest the garden now. How much time do you have left on the girls?

Hi guys, thanks a lot! Have harvested them 4 days ago and everything seems well! No signal of any bug... might have been my imagination ? Think not but wanted to be safe for the next one, do you think I should do anything more than changing soil, pots (already planned) and cleaning the tray below the pots?
