What and why?
MrGreen92started grow question 2 months ago
What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Springtails is the common name and they are a net positive to soil life. its said if you have them its a good sign of healthy soil. add em into your compost pile to help t break down.
They eat decaying matter and then shit it out making frass or insect poop. it in turn feeds the plants.
If their population becomes to much and you dislike them. they can be eliminated with nematodes or BTi. But again, they are a good addition. place the ones in the runoff in some house plants. or outdoor in the compost/garden.
Good Luck!

These are arthropods called "Protaphorura". I always get a lot of them in my soil very soon in the grows. But from what I found on the internet and experienced, they are harmless so don't worry and leave them be đ They also exist in grey/brown color and jump out of the soil when you water it. If you are interested and want more info, see week 9 and 15 of my diary growdiaries.com/diaries/182640-grow-journal-by-smokingtiki/week/1060078. Good luck with your grow đ

Pest infestation left my plant folded and weak. I treated it, but now blacked out leaves?Ants were farming an oval shaped bug's secretions that was eating my stem and going underground, leaving a trail of a film-like substance.
Treated it with neem oil, cigarette butt tea, garlic and dishwasher soap to fend them off. Black leaves now. Tips?

Denkt ihr mit Wasser und anschlieĂend mit einer Seifenspirituslösung abspritzen reicht?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA
