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).

Do you guys know any tricks to get my plant to grow taller? Goal is to increase space in between nodes. I've tried raising the LEDs to 30 inches for a few days. Also tried leaving it in complete darkness for 24 hours.

I am wondering if I should trim some of these giant fan leaves for if it's to early. I did just top her last night, should I wait till she gets taller? I'm worries she is too short.

Insects !?!? Help please first guerilla grow
I've noticed some burn-like spots on my baby. It starts from the top leaves. I had some issues with insects already so the plants didn't have the easiest life so far. Is it the nutrients or I've got some uninvited guests ? Many thanks ladies and gents !

Tiny worms in the growth medium
I grow in an indoor growing with a coconut substrate. I have recently noticed small and tiny dots. At first I did not refer and they looked to me like pieces of perlite. But recently I noticed that they move and float when I water. There is nothing in the plant or flowers.

Aphids I think?!
Being hit with a lot of learning curves this week! Just discovered a small Aphid I think. Green/clear very small with no wings. Ive been using biobizz leaf coat twice in the last week to try help them outdoors. Had caterpillars and today aphids. Get spray or predators?

Aphid problem!
So I just ran into a few aphids, there isn’t very many, but I need an “all natural remedy” (no chemicals) for aphids. I’m hoping something strong enough to destroy most or all of them! HELP! I want to “nip it in the bud”, before it gets worst! Thanks!

This is what I saw today, about one leaf the one after the Cotyledons, both of them are starting to turn yellow in betweento so I didn't know if she was alright or if it Was a bug since she has all those black dots on her plus the other leaf next to her has apparently a good bite

Aphids please HELP!
I am looking for advice to get rid of aphids. Currently using doctor doom 3 in 1 ( pyrethrin). Two days after treatment I still see aphids. Prior to using this I used insecticidal soap. I have used one treatment of each about 4 days apart. Thanks in advance.

I’m using coco coir and perlit. And automatic watering with temporary flooding, found it in temporal container. What is it? Is it dangerous for anyone? Plants looks good. I saw it couple weeks ago, but thought that I stoned too much %_%

Mites?
Hi. What are these? Slow crawling, not fast or jumpy, about the size of this period . They swarm by the thousands after I water. Plants are doing great. I hit them with CannControl and Lost Coast, population has reduced a bit. I’m leaning towards soil mites. What do y’all think?

Bug damage?
I hope I’m just paranoid but after noticing the bite in my last question stuff like this freaks me out. Could this be damage from a pest or are they just trichs. Been having nightmares about root aphids. (I also have a potas, mag, and sulf deficiency which could contribute)
