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

This is my second grow using the same basin for two plants, and maybe it's just a coincidence, but one plant seems to do better than the other. When their roots mingle, can one steal nutrients from the other? Should the nutrient levels be higher for two plants?Week 8

Are ANTS a problem?There are more than some ants walking around under and sometimes also over my plants. Also there are small holes in the ground so definitely there is a nest under my babies? Do I have to worry? Are ants a problem for cannabis plants?
Thanks in advanceWeek 5

I am a new grower trying to grow Chrystal by Nirvana.
I have Phlizon 900w. LED Veg. lights going in a 3x3x5 tent and 6 plants. Temp is 78 degrees and humidity is 55% , ph with and without Nutrients is 6.2. Over the last few weeks I have brought the light down from 36" to 21" above the canape. I topped at the 5th. node and my plants are going into week 4 with no shock. They are only 4.5 inches tall in a 5 gal. cloth pot. and 3.5 gal. plastic pot. Do they need more light?
Any suggestions? Is it OK?
Thanks so much for all your help😗Week 3

Possible spider mites?I can't get a good pic of it but I've found with loupe a couple black dots here and there one 1 plant. I'm not sure what it is. They aren't moving. This 1 is right on the line of harvesting. What do I do? Not sure but don't wanna risk it either way contaminating my other plantsWeek 11
