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).

Are ANTS a problem?There are more than some ants walking around under and sometimes also over my plants. Also there are small holes in the ground so definitely there is a nest under my babies? Do I have to worry? Are ants a problem for cannabis plants? Thanks in advance

Are these early signs of thrips?Are these indicators of thrips? It appears so to me. Dr. Zymes is a good solution from what I've read....is it? And what's the best way to foliar spray the plants so the LED light doesn't cook them?

The extremely strong sativa phenotype of this plant leads me to believe that flowering should take much more than 12 weeks. Also the environmental conditions didn't help at all. Nitrogen toxicity is another thought... What do you guys think?

Hello! I've seen a lot of pictures on this site and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I didn't use any fertilizer. However, today (day19), Nr.1 started the pre-flowering phase. I have seen one pistil coming out. Any ideas why it seems little and slow?

Outdoor aphid removal suggestions?Looks like I may have aphids on this plant. Small holes nibbled through, spotted one tiny critter and knocked it off, and then sprayed 1/4 spirit vinegar + 3/4 water mixture on the underside of the leaves, hoping to be rid of the pests. Any further suggestions or thoughts? 😐

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?
