Impale the body of the fallen on toothpicks to serve as a warning! (You're outdoors, there's really not much you can do that won't affect the plant as well. Infest it with good bugs like ladybugs, but that won't stop caterpillars).

It seems quite small for 20 days in. The last 10 days, it's been growing, but not much. Is my Ph too high and temperature too low?

Thrips or nutrient issues?
Northern lights showing after affects of thrip damage or is it nutrient lockout? I haven’t seen any thrips in the garden, but if thrips can I treat with azamax in the pre flower stage?

Bugs in my soil
The soil I got seems to have come with friends. How do I get rid of little black flies in my soil? Should I deploy sticky traps? Will that be enough?

Springtails in Waste water CoCo
Hi 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.

Rats on the farm
I live on a farm and there are rats that run around in the night. Atm I'm moving my girl outside in the day 6am - 5pm, then inside for 4hrs of darkness, then under lights from 9pm - 6am. Repeat. The plan is to leave her outside 24hrs when flowering. Will the rats get her?

Scrumpy
Into week 4 now and looking at other blue mystic journals, she seems kind of stubby and slow. Im guessing this is down to pot size and other novice parts I've played. Any advice or comments would be great.

Bug damage?
I hope I’m just paranoid but after noticing the bite in my last question stuff like this freaks me out. Could this be damage from a pest or are they just trichs. Been having nightmares about root aphids. (I also have a potas, mag, and sulf deficiency which could contribute)

Bug Infestation
I want to identify the bug that has infested my garden. Is neem oil a good solution to prevent this problem next round? There is damage on top of the leaves as shown in the two pictures I provided. Couldn't see anything on the bottom of the leaves. Thank you in advance!

Aphids found late in flowering
Looking closely at the week 11 photo, you can see aphids on one of the upper leaves. I removed all leaves that had them and gave the plant a light garlic concentrate to discourage further bugs. Should I just harvest now given that Im close to the end anyway? alternative ideas?

Hello_Jeff
Mites appeared... 2 weeks left
I started noticing a few mites , which I mistook for orange fruit flies or something. Also there were 3-4 green ones but I could not find any kind of colony and thoroughly blew air through all the leaves. Should I take any more measures at this point of flower?
