Hi Bro the most of springtail's family are considered a minor pest as the mostly feed on organic material as molds, fungi and algae and actively partecipate to humus build up. Both diatomaceous earth and neem are effective to control them. Cheers

Round holes in leavesI’ve got something munching on my plant and making round holes in a couple of the leaves at the top.
Anyone have any ideas on what it may be or if I should be worried?
I can’t spot the culprit, so I’m hoping it’s a unfortunate one off?Week 7

How to get rid of insects? Bringing outdoor plant inside (1 Gallon)Any suggestions on what I should do to prevent bringing pests to the grow tent next week? I saw online people dunk their containers in water for 10-15 minutes. Or spray NEEM oil... But I would like to make sure I do not bring as much insects as possible. I refuse to use chemicalsWeek 4

Some leaves are showing small burnt spots and slight curling. what could be? I'm currently dealing with Fungus Gnats in the grow. I applied Beauveria and covered the soil with burnt rice husk. I’ll wait for the soil to dry and then use hydrogen peroxide to try eliminate the eggs.Leaves. Tips - Burnt

Identify bug / larvaAny idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.Week 16

Fungus GnatsI've been battling a fungus gnat infestation for about 3 months now. Pretty sure they came from a bag of dirt I purchased online. I've tried DE and Monterey Garden Spray. Not sure what effect they are having on my grows, but they are annoying as hell.Other. Bugs
