Just had a fungus gnat issue. Diatomaceous earth sprinkled on the soil killed 90% of them. Good luck!

Not sure how this will help you know. But I’m using a supersoil, and put a 1/4” layer of sand on the bottom. No gnat issue so far

Throw in a Hot Shot pest strip overnight and wake up to dead gnats. 🤘😤

hi, i use to leave 1 inch perlite layer on the top of the soil. this will prevent new gnats to get out and go to reproduce. you can also put a potato slice in each pot and change it every 2.3 days. gnats will go to reproduce in it cheers

So, many questions here. Today (07/05) the smell started, I don't know if it's the flowering phase starting, can you tell by the last photos? What about her height? Isn't it too small, even for an auto plant? Why is it? Can I do something to improve yields? No LST so far...

Best way to get rid of aphids as a starter?
Hi there! So I recently started with my first grow and I'm really new to all of this. I started out with a plant outside, The Aphids must have come with the plant once I've switched to indoor growing. I ordered myself some Spinosad. Any other suggestions or tips?

You think topping my plants to early stunted the growth of my plants. I gave my dad(lol he has 40 years of grower cannabis experience) the same seeds mine nearly grew to 3 feet while hes is growing over 8 feet tall.

With my cocktail for 2nd lady I reach an EC of 580 ppm. Is that enough or should I gain nutrients? It seems she stopped growing into height. Should I do something against that? What is a good amount of cal/mag in the water?

Mites?
Hi. What are these? Slow crawling, not fast or jumpy, about the size of this period . They swarm by the thousands after I water. Plants are doing great. I hit them with CannControl and Lost Coast, population has reduced a bit. I’m leaning towards soil mites. What do y’all think?

Pest/bug identification - small brown bug
Can anyone help identify these bugs? They move slow but they can jump also several inches. I’ve seen a few outdoors and they usually have some white cotton like stuff hanging from their butt. Really appreciate it!

What is the right way to place yellow sticky traps?
I'm having some fungus gnats and was planning to begin LST in a couple of days so I can't keep the traps in the pot near the soil like I have them now. What would be the right way to place them to catch the gnats without touching the plant? Thanks!
