    did u make seeds with that harvest? i would throw away all seeds and any that u have left-(of that strain of genetics) who knows.... that could be a new form of disease that could spread by crossing. just a thought.....but i wouldnt wanna be a part of any "hiv" for cannibis plants if it could have been avoided by being on the safe side.....


    as i said before- just a thought.

    they're insects of some sort. i'm not sure if these are the larvae or the actual bugs. i scraped one off and it looked like bug guts on the underside. kinda wet but no discernable legs or mouth. perhaps its something in the larvael stage.


    i've since cut the plants down and thrown away the stems, so i can't provide any more info.

    what are scales?


    i've been thru 6 plants trimming buds and have found none of these little buggers at all. they seem to only like the stems. they kinda look like a half a seed shell stuck on with an overripe banana goo.


    i'm in switzerland, if that helps to narrow down the choices. i have had quite a few pests on my plants this season (white flies, thrips) but these "scales" seem to have appeared late (or maybe i just never noticed them).

    scales are things you step on to see how much you weigh! :roll:


    i believe you've been invaded by the swiss banana goo ladybud seed shell disease. :qbluewacko: i hope you threw the rest of that plant far, far away!


    i'd get some sticky strips (both yellow and blue) and hang them in your growroom, for sure. :wink:

    I didn't make the connect b4 when I read the thread but Scales could be spot on.

    hey those are def scale insects. I"ve had em on all different kinds of houseplants and plants in the garden before. they're a sucking insect similar to an aphid. i'd def get rid of the old plants or treat them with some sort of insecticide. (that or you could squish em all!) hope this helps!
