Buy some Dr Bonner's Castile soap, it's a great and gentle bug killer. And good to the earth and plants. Make a spray bottle of 3/4 water 1/4 soap.

Sure looks like it! Neem oil is a great pest solution! I use it on my girls with an insecticidal soap mix. I spray every 7 days, but do not use in the last 3-4 weeks of flower! Hope this helps! Cheers and happy growing!

Seedling looking bad (not opening its leafs)
Seedling number 2 had a hard time germinating with my Easy-Start kit. He took a long time to pop out of the soil and looks like he is in bad condition, I dont know what I did wrong. Please let me know what I can do and if you think he'll make it. Thx

Mould on seedling
This seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?

Solo cups vs clear plastic cups for seedlings
I'm gonna plant sprouts in solo cups, but thought it might be cool to use clear plastic cups (to see when roots reach the edges). Would it be bad to use clear plastic cups? Maybe the roots/soil won't like the light idk?

Slow Growth and Leaf Issues
Transplanted outdoors over a week ago and have noticed slow growth and new leaves have little holes and yellow spots on them. I've checked for bugs but can't see anything. Could this be nutrient-related? Or shock? Ph levels? Too rich soil? Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

direct HOT sunlight on week one?
Should I put her under direct sunlight? Temperature here reaches 32°C-89°F and it's not so windy, Im scared it could burn the tiny plant, I have been keeping both plants under a white mosquito net that makes the light less hot and they get some direct light untill 10 am (see pic)

Hardening off older plants?
I know about hardening plants off when going from indoor to outdoor but is that just for young plants? Is it safe for me to move plants vegged under 1000w hps for 1 month outside without properly hardening them off? They are 1.5 months old.

Are these stretching? What should I do for the 2x top that barely sprouted?
Viparspectra xs2000. Just moved it to a 25" distance and 50% light intensity hoping it'll help, but unsure if it'll burn them? What should I do? Top 2x seeds JUST sprouted and are just barely above the soil. How to accommodate all plants regarding light intensity and distance?

Think my seedling will survive?
Thank you for all of your guys' help last week with this seedling. I tried to get more humidity in there but it's just so dry here in Arizona winter and just been cheerleading this sprout and the others to stick it out. Looks like this one is growing okay now. What you guys think

Slow/stunted seedling, why?
One seedling is stunted, why? One of the seedlings is noticeably slower than the other, it’s leaves are curled under and there’s a brown spot on one of its Cotyledons. The other seedling is being treated identically and seems to be thriving 😕 (last photo)

PH problems (DWC)
I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?

Mold ??
Hi, This is my roommates plant. I think it’s starting to get some type of mold on it. He sprayed it down with baking soda and water I guess, not sure how effective that is. What do you guys think it is? And what should he do? My plant will be going out there and I am worried.
