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).

Any tips for watering during the seedling stage right after germination? I keep either overwatering or underwatering. I'm scared to start in a solo cup as I'm doing mainly Autos and they might stunt the growth when transplanting. Grateful for as many details as possible.Week 2

Rats on the farmI 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?Week 1

Hole in stemI found a hole in the stem. I’m not sure if it was a burrow worm or from a tie down I had there. I injected it with a liquid that kills them. (Rosemary extract because everywhere is out of BT local to me). I also sprayed it on the leaves and in the soil. Looks better now?Other. Bugs

Root aphids in flowering?What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.Other. Bugs

Spider mites problemThere is any way to get rid of spider mites? I've tested with: SMC spray (spidermite control), Spruzit spray, predator mites (spidex vital 2000)
None of them worked, I've been fighting this for like 1 year its more or less under control but its being hard and boring
Maybe sulfur?Other. Bugs

Is it normal for my seedling to be at only one inch height after 8 days? Technically it did take about 2 days to sprout after planting. So I suppose it's really only been 4 days since sprouting. Slight yellowing on the leaves as well. My last auto was a huge fail.Week 2
