They are really hard to get "rid" off. depending on where you are. I have them in my smaller tent and they really do nothing.. The populations don't get too out of hand because when you change your water over you tend to wipe out a lot of the population. You can treat with h2o2 but they will most likely just be back in a couple days. They are fairly resilient buggers.. depending on size of plant.. They are nothing to be concerned about and in smaller populations are beneficial. I mean I usually use Great White microbes so they are most likely just feeding on excess materials.. Even if they were nibbling on the roots a bit.. It wouldn't be enough to cause any issues.

Weezy90 Yea dude they are just hanging out having a time lol :). I don't have em in my Larger tent so I don't even think they are that spready or mobile.. I also had them for another grow I had posted on here lol.. this grow was where I did the whole h2o2 thing.. I also was having other issues that weren't because of the springtails so I did all sorts of weird stuff lol. But in the end.. The little fucks came back.. Clean and sanitized in between grows and they are still in the reservoirs in the that tent. Iv'e learned to just be okay with it ha ha ha.. My impulse is too wipe them out but I mean if they aren't doing any harm.. Then really just let em do their thing :). They like the Cannabis too ha ha ha.

Hi !
Weg ermee, ze geven normaal gezien weinig problemen omdat ze zich voeden met schimmels, algen, bacteriën en dood plantmateriaal.
Maar soms gaan ze ook lekker gaan eten van de wortels, als er niets anders meer beschikbaar is.
Zorg ervoor dat je watergiften in orde zijn, dat je niet teveel geeft.
Want zoals Chow_13 zegt, droogte is voor hun een no go.
Kijk alles eens goed na.
Succes met groeien!😉🌱

They are harmless,they feed off dead matter in and around the roots,when u take them away from a water source they will die. I would be more concerned on what they are feeding on.

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

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?

Pest infestation left my plant folded and weak. I treated it, but now blacked out leaves?Ants were farming an oval shaped bug's secretions that was eating my stem and going underground, leaving a trail of a film-like substance.
Treated it with neem oil, cigarette butt tea, garlic and dishwasher soap to fend them off. Black leaves now. Tips?

handelt es sich bei den Tieren um schwarze blattläuse? (Habe leider keine besseren Bilder hinbekommen)
Ich habe auch einige größere schwarze Tiere mit Flügeln an ähnlichen Stellen gefunden.
Denkt ihr mit Wasser und anschließend mit einer Seifenspirituslösung abspritzen reicht?

BugsJust noticed a small grey Rollie pollie looking big on one of my seedlings. Only found one and believe I killed it but what should I do to prevent/get rid of these bugs. I have another seedling that I didn’t see bugs on and a flowering plant that hasn’t had any issues with bugs

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?
