Crushed egg shells on the soil around the plant helps a bit. Had so many slug problems.

1. Ash on top of the soil around the stem. 2. copper wire on top of the soil around the stem. but haven't tested any of them by myself.

I won’t personally recommend pesticides. You can put some diatomaceous earth on top of the soil around the stem.

Hi all, 2 northern lights and 1 bcn critical seedlings are showing signs what I thought might be thrips, but I haven’t been able to see any bugs yet. I put blue and yellow sticky traps and still haven’t seen any bugs. Any ideas on if it’s worth worrying about and how to fix.Thanx

Will plants with Nitrogen toxicity go back to normal green color after they recover.
Will plants that have turned dark green with clawed leaves from nitrogen toxicity turn back to a normal green color and the leaves straighten out or will it stay like this? I flushed her Jan 2 and watered her again on 1/9. She hasn't started growing yet and still dark clawed

Leaf miners
I spotted leaf miners' damage on a couple of leaves and an adult fly. What can I do to prevent them to spread and get rid of them at this stage of flowering? For now I'm trying to low the humidity a bit more to make the environment less ideal for them.

Reveg/Budding issue
What is my plant doing? the days are almost 15 hours long so I don't understand why it's budding still, I expected it to reveg by now but no sign of rounded single leaves still. The days are getting longer not shorter, end of next month is when the days start getting shorter.

Main stem snapped
LST gone wrong. Main stem snapped after the last LST session, must have happened a while after adjusting the ties. Taped the damaged area. Will it recover? How long would it take? It looked like only 25% of the stem was holding it together. The area got red/brownish.

Why one of the plants looks like is being flushed when I still have more than one week until the end of the grow, and I didn't start the flush?
I'm growing the same strain from the seed pack, and I'm more than a week away of finishing the grow and one of the plants looks like is being flushed. Both plants have received the exact same treatment, but one looks like is being flushed. What can be causing this problem?

Spots on leaves after spraying with Plagron Vita Race
On the 4th of March during lights ON I sprayed my plants with distilled water with Vita Race (3ml/L). I noticed that after it dried up there are some weird spots on the leaves that were left behind (see picture). Any idea if that can lead to problems later?😅
