Silverfish

Grrrowerstarted grow question 5y 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.

I planted an extra stain but decided not to record it. I planted it the exact same time as my Polar Express, so it's 15 weeks in the ground. It's called Trans Siberian and I'm just wondering how long it might have left until harvest.

This is my second grow using the same basin for two plants, and maybe it's just a coincidence, but one plant seems to do better than the other. When their roots mingle, can one steal nutrients from the other? Should the nutrient levels be higher for two plants?

Plant being eaten by something...Something is snacking on my plant! Snail/slug, inchworm/caterpillar seem the likeliest culprits - cricket or grasshopper have similar bites but are a little large to get in the buckets and disappear, as I am home to check her. Any help is appreciated!

i've noticed my plant looks a little smaller and more compact, i was looking to do lst on it but it seems like its kinda small. is this a result of my light being to powerful/too close to the canopy? i'm running 1 qb288 v2 rspec @ 150w / 22-24in away. or is all of this normal!?

creepy crawlies I got creepy crawlies. Clipped the entire leaf, mixed abt 3 drops of neem oil in 100-150ml tap water and sprayed the f*ck out of it. Then I checked the rest of my plants, found nothing but decided to spray them anyway. When should I re-apply? Any adverse effects of neem oil?

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?

What are these bugs and what to do about them?Hi, I spotted these on one of my balcony plants today. Somekind of mites? They were around the sugar to middle sized leaves on new growth. It's around early to mid flower. I removed the leaves that had the most on them and tried to get rid of those who were left. What else to do?
