I was going to dunk my plants into a soap and water mix and then rinse them off, is that a bad idea 5 weeks into flower?
Gershygershstarted grow question 4 years ago
I saw some aphids here and there the other day, so I was thinking I was going to rinse my plants again today, but I sprayed some neem oil around the pots yesterday and today I can’t find any... Is it okay to rinse my plants 5 weeks into flower, will it mess up the trichomes?

Don't do that! Cannabinoids are fat soluble, using soap will completely destroy everything.

got it! the neem oil seems to be doing the trick for now, I’ll stick to water only if I need to rinse off some aphids, THANKS :)

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 ? TIAWeek 7

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?Other. Bugs

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.Leaves. Other

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?a year ago
