A little dawn soap in water, kills all bugs, smothers them. But I see plants that are overwatered. Let them dry an inch or 2 down between waterings. That's why there wilting your smothering your roots. Cheers

Black gnats in soilSo this is not really a question for this plant.
But my house plants have become infested with little black gnats, that seem to be in the soil.

Question is, what do you guys do to get rid of these suckers?Week 5

Aphid problem!So I just ran into a few aphids, there isn’t very many, but I need an “all natural remedy” (no chemicals) for aphids. I’m hoping something strong enough to destroy most or all of them! HELP!
I want to “nip it in the bud”, before it gets worst! Thanks!Other. Bugs

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?5y ago

Possible Pest Problem (All white worms.)Hello everyone. I found two tiny worms in the runoff of one of my plants in coco coir. My first thought was gnats, but there’s no dark end. I also read it could be springtails. EC levels in runoff are a little high, but pH is good and the plants looks better than ever. Thanks!Week 6

Infected Leaves. To remove part of the leaf or whole leaf?I had had pests and disease issues my second grow of Autoflowers. I believe it was hemp russet mites which spread disease on parts of many of my leaves. Would it be alright to remove only the part of the leaf that was infected or to remove the entire leaf?Leaves.
