Make sure you let your soil dry completely between waterings. Since your plant is smaller focus watering near or around the plant. I use diatomaceous earth and gently sift it around the plant. Another solution is to place some distilled vinegar in a bowl with a drop of dish soap to break surface tension. This works buts smells unpleasant. Sticky yellow traps do the trick as well. As long as your medium isn’t completely infested your plant should be fine.

No worries for the health of the plant, their just annoying by the end of flowering when they tend to get stuck on the sticky buds. You can use yellow sticky pads and add some sand, straws, or diatomaceous earth on top of the soil to refrain the invasion.

Sticky traps and green apple dish soap in a bowl of water. Little buggers love the taste of green apple and die in the bubbles. Empty the bowl once every couple days. Killed hundreds with the water trap alone without sticky traps.

You need to add a little dry soil to top. Add yellow sticky traps. And I companion grow basil near (never touching) my plants which helps greatly with all sorts of flying insects.

Hi there, you can get off them by covering the top half inch of the soil with sand.Fungus gnat can't crawl in sand and put yellow sticky tape around the pot for additional protection.Always make sure top soil to be dried about an inch to two before each watering.Happy growing... ✌️

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!

Root aphids in flowering?What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.Other. Bugs

What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?Found a weird black little worm-like bug inside one of the baby leaves... Kind of looked like a silverfish. Only one... Started inspecting my other plants and they don't seem to have them. Any ideas to what it is?

Webs in Canopy, What should I do?I'm worried I have a pest. I have found two separate areas in my canopy sith Webs like those in my last picture. I'm not sure if its from a spider or something else. I'm not sure if I should start IPM now, or if it's too late? Is it harmful to the plant to have the web on it?
