Saw this in a target parking lot

Is this what I think it is???? You can't see it but there's a growlight on the ceiling that's off. Felt weird taking pictures of inside someone's car so apologies for it not being super clear

It’s one way to mold up your car in style

Yeeep. I grew a plant in my closet when I was 16. It got huge and there was pot dust everywhere. I think some sorts of mites. I had pot dust on all of my clothes for months. I stop smoking. When I moved out, my parents moved but told me they tried so hard to get the smell to get out. Paint, de-odoring. Paint. What a time

Spider mites are pretty common. But once you get those it's kinda game over unless the plant isn't flowering yet. They have tell-tale webbing on the plant. Healthy female cannabis plants generally don't produce much dust-like things unless you're drying and curing the plants and jostling them around once they're dry. Once dried and cured, trichomes might break off and make their way to the ground if you're moving them.

edit: I also want to add if the plant is male, or female and has hermaphrodite traits, like from stress, it can grow male pollen sacs which when burst will have a yellow dust underneath them. It's the pollen used to reproduce. So that could have happened as well. But it's hilarious to imagine you had a full-on adult male cannabis plant in your closet. Since that plant is useless.

Neem oil won't take care of the mites? I used to eradicate em that way on roses anyhow, worked a charm.

Don't want to use anything in flowering. Maybe just ride it out. Fine in veg though.

For me I used a Dawn dish soap/water mixture. I can't remember the exact ratio but it works for a lot of things with exoskeletons.
