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).

Can anyone tell me what kind of spider this is and is it harmful? And I'm really curious what the ball he is sitting on is 😂

Root Knot Nematode? Larvae? I think it killed this seedling.
I found some type of critter crawling around what was left of the root of a dead seedling. I'd love to know what it is, and what to do with the other 2 plants in the tent. I pulled this one and removed the bucket from the tent. Video in diary. Extremely hard to see in still photo

Hello. This is my first grow. This is day 35 from clone transplant. I have a scrog built at 15" from the soil level. Do I need to reduce this for my current plant height as shown in the pictures? I don't fully understand the stretching I will get with Sativa-dominant?

Snails prefer CBD instead of THC. Will she hold up?
Do you think she will hold up? Can I do anything to help her?

I noticed recently that a few of my leaves have these white spots on them with a little damage on them as well. Would this be linked to my slug problem? Or is it something completely different? I have been applying neem oil every few days but it doesn't seem to get rid of pests.

Do I just hose it off and proceed as normal? Or hose it off and give to my most leechy smoking friend?
Looks like mould, but I'm guessing spider mites. I tried the 3 days of dark, pulled it out of the cupboard and it had this big clump on it. There was the odd spider mite before the cupboard. Basically just wondering if I'll die sooner if I try and clean it up and smoke it???

Seedling eaten alive by worms and bugs! How can this happen?
My Tatanka Seed got eaten alive (look at my last two videos) just after breaching soil! How did this happen? Was the environment to moist?

As I mentioned above, I will need to harvest around the end of week 13 with just shy of 8 weeks of flowering. Just from seeing how the buds have developed so far, how much will the quality/quantity of the final product suffer from harvesting that early?

She’s already showing pistils and hasn’t started to really grow yet. Should I avoid topping? I’m afraid she won’t recover and I’ll hurt the potential yields.

Hundreds of tiny bugs on top layer of soil what are they?
Was just feeding them and noticed hundreds of tiny seed looking things float to the top of each plant, watched the soil for a while and they was moving 😪 They look like fungus knats maybe but I don't know for sure will upload a video I got of one. How do I get rid of them?

Is my light too close since my plants dont grow vertical that much? They are more bushy right now and Lst is hard to do with them because of their height. Will it effect my yield and im already beginning to see small white pistils, isnt that too early? Thanks

Dealing with thrips
I found what I believe is thrips. Anyone have experience dealing with them? I plan to use either LCPT, Dr Zymes, or Spinosid. That and pyrethrum is what I have on hand. I am also battling WPM and was planning to preventative BT. Looking for advice and what product to use. TIA
