The light: Im in a middle of house moving so for now i try to give much attention to the plants as i can, but i will get better space and conditions quickly. in the morning i move them close to the window with plenty sun-light and day temperature have been arround 15ºc-25ºc Arround 19:00pm i move them to that area where the photo was taken. (i have a simple white led lamp near the plants) It is far from windows at night because lately i noticed a bit of cold and humidity specialy near the windows during night period. So i do that just to be safe (my first try on growing failed because it was very cold during winter and my plants after germinated, died almost instantaly) -Should i stop the led lamp light near my plants during night? -Does these hours of sun-light trougth window and these temperatures/conditions seem okay for inside-house growing plants in general? I've planted sucefully (7) 5 Northern Light seeds, 1 Royal Kush, 1 Royal Haze and my products where bought from RoyalQueenSeeds shop Thanks for all the help!

thanks for the support ! Yes the plants are kind of important to me because 1- i invested some money in it and 2- i would really like to get some big and beautifall plants this is my second try in life, i have 7 plants on growing (1week-old). And no i never had bug problems, it's inside house growing. yes the best option it really is to contact the manufacturer but they have a slow support and translations are bad, so i panic a bit yesterday because im afraid of BUGS lol I never seen bugs arround, i have good ventilation and eventually i open windows but not with much exterior contact or any kind of bugs... I was told that neem oil would eventually kill them without harm the plants, and so i did. I exagerated a bit on the neem oil dose i gave to all plants yesterday but still they seem okay! On the other side the "larvaes" seem to desapear by no reason... i guess: 1-they got into the soil or 2- they died..? yesterday was 10-20 larvaes in each plant, today is 1-2 After all i really hope to dont get some strange or bigger bugs inside house... The dry coco compost that came with the kit. It was moisted in water for 15min and turned the substract, after that i mixed a 10g bag of "bio-grow" to the compost as instructions sayd. Maybe that "Bio-Grow" is like some non-harmfull to the plant - bactereas or so, that turned larvaes fortifying the coco compost? I really dont know what i mixed in the substract, it was similar to beach sand texture and color. but is strange that i have 3 of thoose "i-grow-can kit's" and only 2 of them seem to have larvaes.. thanks to all trying to help, i gonna pray to not get more bugs of anykind ...

No idea what those are. Doesn't look like they're causing damage to the plant, but who knows what they turn into. Personally, I would transplant that, rinse the roots (make sure clumps of shit are washed off, coz of possible eggs and whatnot). And I say that about transplanting, coz your plant needs more light too, from what I can see. It's quite stretchy. If you transplant it, btw, you can cover much of the stem in soil (it'll just root).

Creo que esas larvas no atacan la plantula pero no estoy seguro de que son, crees que podían venirte en el compost? O recuerdas ver insectos tiempo atrás? Puedes optar por no hacer nada y ver que insectos salen o eliminar con pinzas todos los que veas, también puedes sacar la plantula con cuidado y cambiar el sustrato o desinfectarlo, otra recomendación que te diria sería arropar el tallo un poco más y no regar en exceso

all 3 had plenty water and sun, daily temperature is arround 18/25ºc and also had suplements, and coco forte from the kit. One of them dont have larvaes, but i dont understand if i should get worried or not, or if it can spread to my 3th "healthy" can. Sorry for my english and thanks!
