Nimb oil
Happy_Rakosnicekstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hello Grower 😊
I read that Nimb oil helps with fung gnats. Do you have any experience here, and if so, in what proportion to mix the dressing to kill the larvae in the soil?

The best control for fungus gnats is beneficial nematodes!
But if you’re going for the Neem oil route then I’m going to send you over to what helped me!
1 Gallon warm water
1 tablespoon Neem Oil
5ml Agsil16H Liquid Solution
1/2 Ounce Essential Oil Blend (optional)

What are these bugs?Just discovered these little black bugs. I don't think they're flying. They're mostly on the soil. Some were on the stalk but they don't seem to be on the leaves and buds. I'm growing indoors in organic soil. Not sure if these are a problem or if they'll regulate themselves.Week 14

What are these bugs?What are these bugs? I'm not sure if they're thrips or not. The plant is indoors in soil. They've just shown up in the last few days. They're not crawling all over the plants, mostly down at the soil level. I did see a couple on the stalk but they're not up in the leaves/buds.Other. Bugs

Springtails in Waste water CoCoHi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo).
I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.3 years ago

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?3 years ago

Help identify pestsNeed help identifying these bugs. I found them under rockwool cubes in the cloner
They seem to like the moisture and were not bothering the vegetation at all. I even found them under a few cubes with no cuts in them. Is it possible that they are fungus nat larvae?Other. Bugs
