I was doing my daily inspection and noticed what appeared to be little bite marks on one of the young leaves on the top of my plant.
I don't have the greatest camera, but here's a picture I took using a 60x magnifier:
Upon closer inspection, I notices little silk-like webs on the top of the plant. I checked between the pistons and the top and bottom of the leaves with my magnifier, but I couldn't confirm if I officially have spider mites. I think I should spray it down with something regardless, to prevent an infestation.
I was looking for organic sprays that contain spinosad. I found this on amazon. Should this be safe and efficient enough to take care of my problem and / or should I take any other precautions? My plant is about two weeks into flower and I'll devastated if it's ruined by mites or any other pests. I guess these are the challenges you face when growing outdoors.
