Hello!
My first post here, I've been brewing for a year now, but haven't posted yet on this forum so cheers !
I planted Magnum hops last year and had spider mites which destroyed most of the 1st year's yield So this year I decided to be more careful and look for these nasty bugs before they are all over the place. I found this on the underside of bottom leaves 2-3 days ago (Check pics below). Maybe I'm just being paranoid and this is just some random pollen or something else, but in case these are spider mite eggs what should I treat them with?
Also there are kinda dried areas of leaves too, I didn't notice mites yet, but I could have just missed those tiny bastards...
Whole leaf (bottom side) with visible yellow spots:
Part of the leaf with dry spots (bottom side):
Yellow spots under microscope (bottom side again) :
Same as above but top side of the leaf:
One more pic of area affected by yellow spots:
Anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks and cheers!
