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

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

Spiders in the outdoor garden, good or bad?
I was out in the garden tending to my ladies and came across a couple of spiders. I know spiders are supposed to eat other bugs, but that also involves a spider web. So, my question is should I leave the spiders alone? Or should I kill them as I find them, like other bugs?

Anyone knows if these bugs are doing any harm to the plant?
I have not seen this type of bugs in my garden before and they are only on the two CBG Autos. Also some ants are active across the plant. Does anyone know if these bugs are harming the plants or what they are? š
