Yes that is quite possible; I've had that happen to me before specially with LED lights that give very little heat. The internodal space is almost non existant and the leaves remain small.

Dodgy grub?
I think these guys are living in my soil. I'm assuming they eat vegetable matter. So are they bad? Is there a way to get rid of them or just start again with new soil?

My plants started flowering (they are autoflower). How long does flowering take? They seem too small? (16l pots) 80x80cm space - for size reference. As you see i did a lot of LST, so they created a lot of branches, do i have ti tie them down more, or should i leave them?

Neem oil, spinosaf and thrips. Can the spinosad harm my pretty early flowers? Also since I do this during dark cycle, will a head lamp throw confuse them?
Okay, so I have some thrips. I have been told to soak those fuckers using Spinosad. I'm sure there are a lot of opinions on this but my local grow store guy said it is mist effective. I'm worried about spraying on my flowers though. Can it hurt them? Just coming in and looking be

Identify bug / larva
Any idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.

Attempting to grow a landrace strain from seeds I brought back from West Africa in 2017 (Togo/Nigeria). Probably grew in the wild given buds were full of seeds. Growth has been slow so far. Switched to 13/11 recently. At week 5, wonder if leaves will ever get bigger.

Is this Fungus Gnat Larvae?
Found these little suckers in the DWC roots, sprayed some 1:4 peroxide/water solution all around, and tried to flush the roots too. Now I'm letting the roots soak in just water & hydro guard for now (ran out of peroxide). Thoughts

I'm concerned for one of my Dark Devil seeds, it seems to be heavily stunted and I really don't know why🤔 the soil was all mixed together so it's a uniform batch. What should I do with it? I'm only asking because it's taking up a lot of space being in a 5 gallon pot.

Possible Pest Problem (All white worms.)
Hello everyone. I found two tiny worms in the runoff of one of my plants in coco coir. My first thought was gnats, but there’s no dark end. I also read it could be springtails. EC levels in runoff are a little high, but pH is good and the plants looks better than ever. Thanks!

Is my light too close since my plants dont grow vertical that much? They are more bushy right now and Lst is hard to do with them because of their height. Will it effect my yield and im already beginning to see small white pistils, isnt that too early? Thanks
