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

First autoflowers. They are on day 14. I think they look small. Can a super wide pot hinder growth? I have 8 inch deep 16 inch wide 3 gallon pots. Or Co2 levels are low in the tent causing small growth.

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?

What are these bugs and what to do about them?
Hi, I spotted these on one of my balcony plants today. Somekind of mites? They were around the sugar to middle sized leaves on new growth. It's around early to mid flower. I removed the leaves that had the most on them and tried to get rid of those who were left. What else to do?
