It's an outdoor auto bunch I just have out there for shit n giggles. Those look different than the spidermites I had before.....

So with them being spidermites like that... cut yay or nay I'm not gonna treat them and would rather recover bud then have it been for naught.
They are just two little six inch plants with probably like a gram on them each.

It's really your call. I would def do something about it. Spray 'em or cut 'em down...

I am looking very hard and don't see mites myself.. I had a inside mite infestation and it looks no where similar..
I am thinking aphids and grasshoppers are the culprit, in which case there isn't shit I can do but pull them?
They are grown purr water and light no nutes and I am not gonna spray them with anything....
Fuck this sucks

I agree with the first part, but I don't see any signs of mites, I see some chunks out of the leaves but they look more like a caterpillar/grasshopper type of thing. Not saying you are wrong, just sayin I don't see any mite-signs, annnnd sadly i'm VERY familiar with mites.... We go waaaaaay back...

I agree, don't spray them, are these outside plants? If so, don't worry about mites, the ONLY damage I see are from a bug that eats the leaves not suck the plant sap/juices like mites or aphids.
I wouldn't pull them personally, but it's impossible to tell via a picture

Doesn't look like it to me, you could be right, but I've never seen mites do it like that, colonize webs before the pinpricks show up... not typical
we need another pic of that area, I don't think its webs

Could be right, man. I've been wrong before. Just what I'm seeing from the pics presented.

I don't see any black Dota or white on the leaves... I don't think it's mites I think it's grasshoppers and aphids... in which case ain't shit I can do but pluck them...
Meanwhile their less frosty sister is fine with no bugs.

I gotcha, like I said, its SO damn hard to tell via one picture, I just see the little "munchie" marks, from something eatin the leaves, I have mites almost EVERY grow, I live smack dab in a redwood forest, and mites are everywhere. Fuckin HATE those things.... Normally if the mites were "webbing" you'd see more damage, even to the naked eye.

I don't think it's aphids, i'm fairly certain its a "leaf-eater" meaning grasshopper, caterpillar, leafhopper, etc. aphids just suck the juices not actually munch on leaves
that's a better pic, i'm confident it's neither mites, nor aphids. Alas like always, I could be wrong.... See sig...
