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

Hey guys. Seems this one is a bit slow compared to her Sis. Could this be of the soil mix in the final pot that I transplanted it in? It's in about 60% peat moss/Perlite (Pindstrup brand) and about 20 % forest soil, 10% sifted cow manure and 10% cow manure ash.

After reading the week description above and also saying I finally updated pics to include the different parts of the plant at different ripeness, I ask when should I harvest? If it's just the 4 pictures up there then I've been lazy to go out and take new pictures starting week 7

Bug damage?I hope I’m just paranoid but after noticing the bite in my last question stuff like this freaks me out. Could this be damage from a pest or are they just trichs. Been having nightmares about root aphids. (I also have a potas, mag, and sulf deficiency which could contribute)

If auto flowering plants suffer a period of stunted growth (eg due to overwatering), does that extend the veg phase or do they still flower at the normal time based on growth of the plant. i think i lost 10-14days - is this hopeless?

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it? I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Spider Mite ProblemSpider Mite Problem at week 8. I just realized this problem, a severe spider mite infestation on one plant. I defoliated the plant to get rid of most of them as I thought I can get away with this until the end of the flowering. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!

Dodgy grub?I think these guys are living in my soil. I'm assuming they eat vegetable matter. So are they bad? Is there a way to get rid of them or just start again with new soil?

Why is my plant growing upward so slowly? Temp, light & water are fine. My last auto in a Solo cup was 3x this size by Week 3. I'm not transplanting & will be growing in this container (18 oz) the whole time. No nutes yet--only doing natural (urine fert later this week).
