Identify bug / larva
DrBinocstarted grow question 4 years ago
Any 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.

Hey Growmie,
Looks like your dealing with an aphid problem. Neem oil, insecticidal soaps, and horticultural oils are effective against aphids. Be sure to follow the application instructions provided on the packaging. You can often get rid of aphids by wiping or spraying the leaves of the plant with a mild solution of water and a few drops of dish soap. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Aphids. So this problem wont go away, so while you can kill them, youre growing outside so they will just keep coming back.
But there is good news! Aphids are also the favorite snack of ladybugs, who will not hurt your plant at all. Long term solution is to buy some ladybugs online and put them in your garden! CHEERS!!

Yep, Mr_weeds_autos is correct regarding those white bugs.
About the black dots you have, in case it wasn't answered, could be a couple things.
First, and most likely, is Lace bug eggs.
Same cure as the Aphids; soap, oil, and daily maintenance.
The other reason is mold. It happens often when plants receive water from above. Its super common. You could probably look closely at the siding on your home, and see similar black dots.
Removing the affected leaves is best solution.
Good luck.

Looks like aphids; Growing outdoors has the downside of attracting many different kind of bugs. Keep in mind that you should not spray buds. IF you can do try to get ladybugs to feast on those pests

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

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.

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?

creepy crawliesI got creepy crawlies. Clipped the entire leaf, mixed abt 3 drops of neem oil in 100-150ml tap water and sprayed the f*ck out of it. Then I checked the rest of my plants, found nothing but decided to spray them anyway. When should I re-apply? Any adverse effects of neem oil?

Thrip in a bud?!So, today arrived my microscope to check trichomes and as I was looking them suddenly appeared a thrip on the lens. I´ve been dealing with them in my grow for about 2 weeks now. It´s not that bad but a thrip in the bud is enough for me.

BugsSo, I found these little boogers on my girl, only two so far. I think they might be the cause for some of nibbling damage. I removed the horribly damaged leaves, I might have introduced too much of the flowering nuits at once, causing burn possibly.
