Hundreds of tiny bugs on top layer of soil what are they?
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
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?

Cover your soil with diatomaceous earth, non toxic, obliterates tiny bugs, and also has lots of micronutrients for when you water it down (silice, CalMag, K, Iron), amazing stuff.
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!

Yeah, do what Jynx wrote..
Tho, let the top of the soil dry out first, or the diatomaceous earth won't have any effect, as the way it works is by entering whatever place it can in the bugs, and soaking the fluids from their bodies. So if you pour it on a wet soil, it's just gonna soak up the water in the soil instead and be useless.

Minor damage to a few leaves found today - what is it?I am trying to determine the cause of damage to a few leaves that was observed this week. It may be two different problems. On a few leaves, I see brown spots which may have originally been white. On another 2 leaves, I see a burn hole through the leaves with brown edges.

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?Week 10
