Looks like Thrips! Little black flying bugs often confused with fungus gnats. Get some sticky traps and amazing Dr Zymes!

White specs but not Thrips?
Seeing white specs on the leaves, but no signs of bugs at all. Really looks like thrips but have looked at both plants top to down on 10x and couldnt find any. Could this be something besides bugs??

Silverfish
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? 😭

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 ♥️

Does this look good to you? Any help is appreciated because it is my first grow. I also think that this is growing pretty slow. If you look at the picture is my plant small or not? I planted the seed 14 days ago

Using Marigolds to deter bugs
Has anyone here used marigolds to deter bugs? I’ve germinated about 50 marigolds with my girls so they can all grow together(separate pots for the marigolds) are the marigolds worth the extra work?
