Help! Stem borer problem?
Nicoddiostarted grow question 4 years ago
Help! I just found a couple holes in my banana blaze stems with some small egg-like stuff coming out of them , it looks like my first grow (outdoor) and I think it was some sort of stem borer/moth . Anybody has some advice how to get rid of them? Is it actually a stem borer?

Hi Bro, sorry to say this but you a have a bastard worm digging actively your stem. What you see coming out of the hole is a chewed bolus. Hurry up!! First thing to do is to spray through the hole (with a long neddle) a solution of water/soluble sulphur/salt (or a synthetic pesticide in extreme cases) you have to spray generously with a such pressure. Then finish the bastard introducing a very thin metal wire (braided electric davo) to prick and kill the worm deeply. They belong to Cossus Cossus" family, you can use also nematodes like "Neoaplectana carpocapsae" or
"Neoaplectana feltiae". C'on Bro👊👊

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

How to treat spider mites in flower?Best spider mite treatment while in early flower? I want to completely knock these things out, but I'm losing the battle.
There are no webs, but they're still present and you can see all the white marks on the fan leaves.

First grow mid-flower pest?Help! Is this pest damage and what kind? I have about 100-200 ladybugs in the grow tent, and have for about a month now so I would be surprised if it were aphids. The damage is not extensive but there is a little here and there. Cant find anything under leaves.

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?
