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

Bronhitis
My plants started flowering (they are autoflower). How long does flowering take? They seem too small? (16l pots) 80x80cm space - for size reference. As you see i did a lot of LST, so they created a lot of branches, do i have ti tie them down more, or should i leave them?

Partial Harvesting and flushing the medium.
Can I do partial harvesting of the flowers that are ready and leave the other to ripe on the plants for longer? If yes, how should I proceed with flushing the substrate with plain water? I need to get rid of the salts before harvesting, even if harvesting partially. Please help.

neem oil soil drench, is it safe?
I've seen two ways of using neem oil to get rid of gnats, foliar spray and soil drenching. I've done the foliar spray but was hesitant to drench the roots in neem oil.. I guess by only doing the foliar spray the larva are still eating the roots.. I just wanna make sure thanks 🙏

How many watering should I do per plant? Not sure on frequency too. I think leaves show some symptoms of something (over/underwatering). Also, it is normal that one of them is stretched? And the one below that is undergrowth. Would like some help, thanks! 😸

Noticed one of my girls hasn’t really sprouted as much as the rest although the roots appear fine? (Touching bottom of pot) Could this be because it’s directly under the LED light or other issues causing stunting

Shes bushy and harder to LST for air flow/light to the lower sites. The larger leaves are laying on the top of the bucket, and there's moisture when lifted. I'm using a larger fan to keep air moving. Do you recommend trimming some leaves during veg? Also which leaves would I cut?

What are these bugs? Should I harvest?
Can anyone identify these? They are blackish red. Some are more clear greenish. On another note, do you think the plant is ready to harvest? I generally don't like too much amber.

Leaf miners
I spotted leaf miners' damage on a couple of leaves and an adult fly. What can I do to prevent them to spread and get rid of them at this stage of flowering? For now I'm trying to low the humidity a bit more to make the environment less ideal for them.
