Try to clean if there is some colonies in the grow area, if they are in the soil u have to use some product like azadirachtin if u cant beat them with a dry/wet cycle to force them to exit and maybe go on some sticky trap over the soil.

Hello if they are actually springtail means you have good soil they are not bad for the plant they stay in the soil and eat dead roots.

Ok, I'm sorry for kill all the spiders that were infesting my plant. I thought their bites do damage because earlier in the grow my leaves had white spots on them and I figured that was the cause. I'll leave this bugger alone ♥️

HELP_Ineedsomebody

How many weeks left? Auto Is it too soon to flush it? It's on week 12 and I was supposed to harvest 3 weeks ago. This week the stigmas were getting brown so I flushed it. Is it premature? How many weeks do you think I have left? It's got spider mites problems but I'm fighting every day. Thank you! 😘

This morning I found a huge slug resting on one of my buds😠. I also see a trial where he was on some other sites near by. Surprisingly, I can't find any noticeable damage other than the buds he was on are full of slime. Will this harm the development of my buds in the future?

I noticed recently that a few of my leaves have these white spots on them with a little damage on them as well. Would this be linked to my slug problem? Or is it something completely different? I have been applying neem oil every few days but it doesn't seem to get rid of pests.

Thrip Remedies I think I'm having a problem with Thrips😓 spotted little markings the last days and saw a tiny white nymph yesterday😨 What can you recommend to use against? Have been reading about Neem-Oil and Pyrethin since I need to treat soil as well wich is better for plant and microbes?
