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

Wilting and yellowing leaves after vinegar water solutionI sprayed a mixture of 1/4 spirit vinegar + 3/4 water under the leaves to get rid of aphids (which may or may not have been the problem) earlier today. Now checking on her, I see yellowing of several leaves and wilting of others, which has me worried... normal, or a problem? 😳4y ago

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.
They kinda hang around the plants and doesn't stray too far from them.
Question is, what do you guys do to get rid of these suckers?Week 5

Should I scrape the scoops of chem?Definitely has thrips and has been through the wringer. Trashed the other four plants I started it with when I bought 9/30. This plant should’ve been harvested by now but I kept stringing it along and causing it problems.
It’s the middle of the three plants in the flower tent.Week 4

Wish my issue had a category lol. All my buds have been seeded to some extent and therefore will effect how the buds ripen. I want to know how much seeding alters my harvest timeline, and can I still look at trich's for bud ripeness as the pistils are orange with clear trich's.Week 13

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

Thrip in a bud?!So, today arrived my microscope to check trichomes and as I was looking them suddenly appeared a thrip on the lens. I´ve been dealing with them in my grow for about 2 weeks now. It´s not that bad but a thrip in the bud is enough for me.
