Is this fungus gnat?
burnoutdevstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hi, my auto has brown/orange spots. I'm figuring out the cause and I want to identify this insect.
Is this fungus gnat? If not, is it harmful to plants?
(sorry for the image quality, didn't have time before insect flew)

on Reddit, someone commented that its Ant Alate. I'll keep my eye if there will be more of them to get a better picture. Also, I tried to look closer myself and it didn't have so long legs as fungus gnat I think.

Hey there 👋
It’s a bit blurry, but it looks to be a fungus gnat.

They love moist soil, so try to let your plants dry out a bit more between watering. If you only see one, should be easy to get rid of- two or more and you have to worry about them breeding and laying eggs
Best of luck and happy growing 🌱

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?

BugsJust noticed a small grey Rollie pollie looking big on one of my seedlings. Only found one and believe I killed it but what should I do to prevent/get rid of these bugs. I have another seedling that I didn’t see bugs on and a flowering plant that hasn’t had any issues with bugs

handelt es sich bei den Tieren um schwarze blattläuse? (Habe leider keine besseren Bilder hinbekommen)
Ich habe auch einige größere schwarze Tiere mit Flügeln an ähnlichen Stellen gefunden.
Denkt ihr mit Wasser und anschließend mit einer Seifenspirituslösung abspritzen reicht?

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?

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
