Cbdreliefstarted grow question 5 years ago

Any advice for protecting the plant from getting eaten by insects? I think it is small flys I have found on the leaves. I would rather not use chemical pesticides.

Neem oil is an organic pesticide made from a plant. I use it as do many other growers. Just don't use it last 4 weeks of flower. You can plant marigolds around your crop to help deter alot of pests. And 🐞 are a great pest predators!! Happy Growing! 👊

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons. Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, results

growing outdoor Hi growers, I'm planning to grow three plants this month. It's my second time growing outdoors. Temperatures currently range between 15 and 22 degrees, but they will likely be higher in a few weeks. Is it warm enough to start? Which strain (auto) would you advise me to grow?

What and why?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?

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leaves Hey, 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 soil Hi, 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

I'm a newbie and i don't know how i should water my seeds. Please help I put seeds in a paper towel and then planted them in small pots but still nothing popped out of the soil. Should i use a spray bottle for now or should i just pour water on the soil? Cause i don't think spraying it reaches all the way down but i think pouring drowns the seed.

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?

Bugs Just 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

Amber and still many clear trichomes Approaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes. I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it. Lower buds/colas have 20% amber. Am i just overreacting over nothing?
