This week I have encountered a new issue. The plants are showing a little bit of over-nitro feeding. They seem to be doing ok, and it will probably take two weeks to wash out excess. I am feeding every other day until they drain a bit, which helps a lot. Also adding a surfactant allows for it to really wash out excess fertilizer. Also this week (today in fact as of an hour ago) I realized there were tiny insects crawling all over one of my plants. I mean these bastards are miniscule. Hard to see with the naked eye. Transluscent to white'ish, I would say. Dozens of them. I have since sprayed the shit out of every plant, their topsoil and their bags of neem oil. Generous overspray onto and around the plant stands, too. I will re-treat at the end of the week and then once again next week at this time. Make sure there are no traces and no distant cousins still trying to move in. What a hectic find. I couldn't locate with ease any other plants having been affected, however you can't be too safe, so they all got blasted. edit: I want to thank everyone who responded to my question. I read every single one of your comments twice. I have dealt with bugs outside, never inside. So i'm glad to know, during the veg stage, spinosad and other incesticides are OK. Neem Oil has thinned their numbers drastically but a few critters remain. Spinosad dust to be here tomorrow. Bottom fed them today instead of top fed and will do this a while. I put a fan over the top of the 3 plants affected by the critters (stand mates) to dry out the topsoil and spinosad dust'em tomorrow. Hopefully this time next week I do not have a problem. One is an automatic, and it's going to hit the stretch real soon - i want to get that one cleaned up and bugless before it packs on the flower. It feels like I caught them right as they were moving themselves and their relatives in for a luau as the plants still do not have obvious leaf damage.

Dealing with tiny insects indoors. I went with the most easily available option to me (Triple Action Neem Oil by Southern Ag) and it works really well in my vegetable garden. If this doesn't seem to work, what are some other options I should use? Vegetative stage.

To be honest. I've tried everything Cannacure.. lots of other pest. But once they start laying eggs and you got a high RH environment. So it just takes 1 fruit fly, spider mite to lay up to 50-200eggs. So, I've found getting fruit fly traps and anything long and sticky. You can cut up place up and down nodes. Hang the fruit fly traps near your lights as they tend to fly up to the light and extractor fan pulls them up close to that when they wee. Anything crawling. You need to lace your plants nodes and all areas around the pots. Set traps so they have to walk on to the trap. So push soil up around the edges so they gotta talk awalk over them. There's a ton of stuff you can do But seriously letting your top soil dry out. You can do a few simple water feeds from the bottom. And then scoup up any dry soil, as it'll have larva in it. And once it gets wet again the larva trigger again if only freshly laid. So, fruit fly traps. You'll get packs of 40 you'll see them on my diary Gnats and dealing with them I go into depth. But, in general the stickies will catch most of them. Good luck.

Helps knowing what the critter is man.. there’s some common ones for canna. If you can get a pic it might help. Aphids hide under leaves usually and are white or off white or green. Thrips are tiny ass yellow things almost impossible to see. I could go on but try and get a pic maybe ?

@Ezzjaybruh, 0 damage to the plants yet, that I can tell. I've ever checked under leaves to see if any critters were hiding. So far nope. I see a small resurgence after a short bit after blasting, so they are hiding somewhere on the plant / bag.

@imamindlesstool, if you have any pics of the damage to leaves (if any) - that helps too.

@imamindlesstool, yup! That’s probably it. Hard to tell from pic but they’re barely visible - long skinny fuckers.
