Silverfish

Grrrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago

I found a silverfish (is this the correct name?) in the soil of a plant; obviously I immediately threw it out and checked if there were others by moving the ground a little, but how do I make sure I make them disappear? or do you know if they can be harmful to the plant? 😭

Silverfish and Firebrats don't really harm your plants, so there's nothing to worry about. They like protein. - they're extremely hard to get rid of tho, as eggs can stay dormant for a long time waiting for water to hatch.. Diatomaceous Earth is a good way to kill them.. It'll enter their shell and suck them dry of fluid.. just dust some on top of your soil, and inside your tent.

Is it the dreaded snail from medieval manuscripts or something much worse I put this lady out 2 weeks ago. The leaves all have tiny bug holes in them not sure if you can see in pic. I did find snail on it could it be just that or could something else be getting them. I put slug b gone down to stop them.

best leaf insects repellent I have found a few bad insects on my plants past weeks. Does anyone have experience with neem oil? Is it worth a try or would I be better of buying something else? White vinegar with dishsoap didn't help much. The bugs are: grasshoppers, stinkbugs, spidermites & fungus gnats.

Pulgón justo antes de cosechar Estuve fuera de casa 1 semana, tras hacer lavado de raíces de estas plantas que pensaba cosechar en 2 días. Al volver las he encontrado infectadas de pulgón. He cortado las hojas grandes que estaban llenas de esta plaga, pero todavía queda alguno cerca de los cogollos…solución?

Fungus Gnats I've been battling a fungus gnat infestation for about 3 months now. Pretty sure they came from a bag of dirt I purchased online. I've tried DE and Monterey Garden Spray. Not sure what effect they are having on my grows, but they are annoying as hell.

Help! Are these root aphids??Found these scurrying in my soil the other day. Pretty quick so I had to use a sticky trap to get a good look. I don't see them on or under any leaves. What could this be? Currently in week 7 of flower. Thanks in advance!

BUGS what are these? How did my plant get them? Where do they come from? How do I get rid of them? They have not been outside of the house: tent, garage, and tub only. The other plants do not show these, but I have separated them until I harvest just in case.
