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).

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?

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?
I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?

I'm under attack!
I think I have a solo predator here guys! The damage is localised to the left main branch in 2 places and the top of the main cola and just below. I have made up some washing up liquid pesticide and drenched the whole plant and vegetation around. Could it be something else?

WHat are these bugs?
I had a Fungus Gnat problem, so I let the top soil dry and bottom water my fabric pots. Now, these little fellas live underneath my pots.. Any idea what they are? Is the worm like fella a nematode (I did use wormcasting tea)? Or a Fungus gnat larvae? How about those other bugs?

Is this Fungus Gnat Larvae?
Found these little suckers in the DWC roots, sprayed some 1:4 peroxide/water solution all around, and tried to flush the roots too. Now I'm letting the roots soak in just water & hydro guard for now (ran out of peroxide). Thoughts

Fungus Gnats - can they live on felt?
After topping each fabric pot with Playground Sand to combat Fungus Gnats I've noticed some of the fukkers are still lurking and seem to have taken up residence in/on the exterior of the felt pots. Are the larve capeable of feeding off the felt that the pots are made of?

Can someone look at the most recent photos and tell me if this is normal (the close up of the pistils) ? The last two days I haven't see any changes in the plants: no height gain, flowering seems to go slowest. Is this okay?

2 part, first I found a few black dots (picture added to this week) which I thought might be pests but didn't move - research says it could be catapiller droppings but can't find any of those - what else could they be? Second I did find a spider chilling assume he's good?

If auto flowering plants suffer a period of stunted growth (eg due to overwatering), does that extend the veg phase or do they still flower at the normal time based on growth of the plant. i think i lost 10-14days - is this hopeless?
