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).

Hi guys. Today i found a problem in my room, i found this insects on the photos. I dont know which insects are they. I already killed like 5 of them, and i cant figure out from where they come, probably from outside, because i have a window opened in V, but the tent is isolated

Alright I am not sure what to do. The breeder suggests 60 days in flower and she is ready for harvest. But because of the thrips infestation I had, 1 girl seems to be stunted. Should I just wait longer than 60 days and hopefully they recover and fully mature?

Aphid Eradication
How to ensure complete removal of aphids from grow tent? How long can they live without plants? Is soap solution enough to wipe out aphids present? I would like to use chemicals but not available in ontario. Sprayed with soap 3x but never seem to get them all, esp in flower tent.

Tiny white hairy bugs?
Hi! Does anybody know what those little white hairy bugs are? They're driving me crazy! They jump but don't fly and the plant is not damaged at all. They left a sort of thick cobweb under a leaf... What can I do?

Bug problem aftermath
So I got rid of my whitefly problem with the amazing dr zymes eliminator. Now I am wondering if I should spray the plants with water to try to get rid of residue perhaps Now rather than doing a wash after harvest ? BTW they should be done within 2 weeks.

How to remove Mites before harvest, after final discharge, in some natural way so as not to harm the buds?
I did a defoliation, but I saw that there are few mites still close to the buds. I'm going to harvest this week and I would like to know how to eliminate them so that I don't have problems drying them or smoking them in the end.

Plant being eaten by something...
Something is snacking on my plant! Snail/slug, inchworm/caterpillar seem the likeliest culprits - cricket or grasshopper have similar bites but are a little large to get in the buckets and disappear, as I am home to check her. Any help is appreciated!
