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

4/5 of my plants have been flowering for 2 weeks on a 20/4 cycle, while 1 remains in the vegetative state. Should I try and induce flowering by switching to a 12/12 cycle? If so will it effect my other plants?

My plant is short and wide and the center is pretty crowded with leaves but they are all starting to produce trichomes. Is it an issue to have leaves touching each other in this state or do I have to remove some? I don't really want to mess with her in this stage.

Springtails in Waste water CoCoHi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo). I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.

After reading the week description above and also saying I finally updated pics to include the different parts of the plant at different ripeness, I ask when should I harvest? If it's just the 4 pictures up there then I've been lazy to go out and take new pictures starting week 7

Aphid problem!So I just ran into a few aphids, there isn’t very many, but I need an “all natural remedy” (no chemicals) for aphids. I’m hoping something strong enough to destroy most or all of them! HELP! I want to “nip it in the bud”, before it gets worst! Thanks!
