Silverfish

Grrrowerstarted grow question 6y 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.

neem oil soil drench, is it safe?I've seen two ways of using neem oil to get rid of gnats, foliar spray and soil drenching. I've done the foliar spray but was hesitant to drench the roots in neem oil.. I guess by only doing the foliar spray the larva are still eating the roots.. I just wanna make sure thanks 🙏
