Quite honestly not sure what I am looking at here. My plants looks healthy, everything is green. I've found about 6 of these golden amber looking things. They don't move, they're in 1 spot, I had noticed 1 of them about 5 weeks ago, but since then I hadn't seen this or noticed anything wrong with the plants. Any ideas? Clues? Or tips? What could they be? Should I be worried? I don't see any webbing, PM, or white spots in the room.

Offhand (without magnifying), I would think it best to remove them with some tissue (if there are just a few). Maybe, an alien egg invasion.

Well, I think I have found out what it may be. Thrips, or Gnats... What do you guys think? Planning on spraying AVID on the plants at night and flushing with Peroxide.

I’ve heard of it but never used it. I use neem and karanja. They look like milkweed aphids which shouldn’t feed on marijuana. I’d go through the plants and remove the leafs you find them on along with spraying

I have these, they range from white to brown and amber.

Everyone suggested they were insects. Finally concluded try are not. It's some sort of secretion from the plant that dries up. If you collect enough you will find it fully dissolves in water, much like dried up fertilizer. Anything organic like insects or eggs will not dissolve.

My plants get it during times of intense growth, like the early flower stretch. Looks like your in the early stretch phase right now as well.

I’ve seen a couple plants secrete sap, aphids also secrete sap while eating, the plants can also continue to secrete sap from the piercing that aphids do to feed. On your third picture if you zoom in you can almost make out front legs and body markings. If it’s aphids they will get out of hand sooner or later

Get a piece of paper and brush it against the bottom if it’s sap it’ll drip onto the paper if it’s a aphid it won’t. There’s tons of mystery going on here today

I've tried to touch it, or put it upside down to see if it drips it doesn't. I looked at it with a 20mm and it looks like a SMALLL piece of dab. I really can't see legs or anything. I did find a thirp inside the room though. I did have fungus gnats as well. Also, it feels dry and hard.

You're right, I am on week 3 of flower. They're growing rapidly. I didn't think it was aphid or bugs. however, yesterday hafter hours of searching I found a thirp walking around.

Hydro store suggested that it may be yellow spider mites. I've sprayed Plant Therapy on them for now.
