Aphid invasion close to harvest - stick or twist?!
Ottos_Jacket
started grow question 5y ago
Very close (seen first few ambers on leaves) to harvesting my dwarf auto but have noticed I have aphids or thrips. Do I hang it out a bit longer or cut my losses before they take over?

Stick with it. If close to harvest, they won't affect your buds really, just suck the sap from the leaves.

Are my pants growing at a decent rate? Plant 1 I don't think it's going to make the cut. It's behind and I don't have a whole lot of room

One of these phenos isn't flowering (9 weeks in veg). Is it possible that the autoflower trait wasn't passed down? I won't have a 12/12 environment to test it for some time. Should I just trash it?

What are these bugs? Should I harvest?
Can anyone identify these? They are blackish red. Some are more clear greenish. On another note, do you think the plant is ready to harvest? I generally don't like too much amber.

Can you mix botanigard, mosquito bits, and neem in one watering?
Can you mix botanigard, mosquito bits, and neem oil in one watering? Won't neem oil be counterproductive and act against the other two fungi? Thanks!

Pests
Spider mites? Aphids? What would be causing these bites? Is it too late to continue using neem oil since they’re already starting to flower? Should I use BT spray instead? Thanks.

My plant is still in seedling stage - just started to make 5 finger leaves - 18 days post germination. Should I dump my plant and start new seeds? Current seed was 1.5 year old

First autoflowers. They are on day 14. I think they look small. Can a super wide pot hinder growth? I have 8 inch deep 16 inch wide 3 gallon pots. Or Co2 levels are low in the tent causing small growth.

I'm a bit confused as to why I'm still in the veg phase as I'm so far along. Other journals with the same Nirvana amnesia haze auto flowering seeds seem to be starting flowering at week 5. I'm about out of vertical space and with the flowering stretch I'm going to be in trouble

I’m not sure, but I feel like I’m getting slow, compact growth. The fan leaves are coming in pretty fat. This my 3rd grow. Still in the middle of flowering my 2nd grow. So I’m not exactly sure when things are going right, just notice when the start to look off.

Hi - newbie here. I noticed that my Autoflower grow has been going OK, Leave development is OK. But my concern is height of the plants. They seem to be growing out and not up! Not sure if this is normal at this stage? Two weeks in thus far.

Using Marigolds to deter bugs
Has anyone here used marigolds to deter bugs? I’ve germinated about 50 marigolds with my girls so they can all grow together(separate pots for the marigolds) are the marigolds worth the extra work?

Thrips after that all the aphids are gone, Orius bugs are enough to eliminate them?
I've got some Thrips, The aphids plague that I had before is totally gone. But it's not a good idea to spray everything in with neem oil since the buds are being formed. I ordered myself 100 Orius bugs. Any other tip?
