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.

Rats on the farm
I live on a farm and there are rats that run around in the night. Atm I'm moving my girl outside in the day 6am - 5pm, then inside for 4hrs of darkness, then under lights from 9pm - 6am. Repeat. The plan is to leave her outside 24hrs when flowering. Will the rats get her?

I noticed recently that a few of my leaves have these white spots on them with a little damage on them as well. Would this be linked to my slug problem? Or is it something completely different? I have been applying neem oil every few days but it doesn't seem to get rid of pests.

This lady had a mag. deficiency I believe so I added the cal-mag back to her diet but I feel she is still growing slower than my AK-49 Auto , is this because she is recovering and will catch up or is it something else

Pest control that's safe?
I'm starting my first grow - indoors, in a spider farmer light and tent, with coco & perlite as the medium. Is there a preventative product that I can spray on my plants to avoid pests that won't affect quality or be harmful? Heard that neem was bad for plants and humans

My plant is short and wide and the center is pretty crowded with leaves but they are all starting to produce trichomes. Is it an issue to have leaves touching each other in this state or do I have to remove some? I don't really want to mess with her in this stage.
