Aphid invasion close to harvest - stick or twist?!
Ottos_Jacketstarted 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.

Just being cautious. I had a friend visit today. Long story short, before visiting me she went to a nursery notorious for spider mites. I did not know thisHow much should I be worried? She did not touch any plants directly. I cannot be certain that she had any mites on her. I am just being cautious. What is the best course of action? If my current flowering plants get mites, can I wash the mites off and still use the flowers3y ago

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 beWeek 11

Wish my issue had a category lol. All my buds have been seeded to some extent and therefore will effect how the buds ripen. I want to know how much seeding alters my harvest timeline, and can I still look at trich's for bud ripeness as the pistils are orange with clear trich's.Week 13

Rats on the farmI live on a farm and there are rats that run around in the night.
Atm I'm moving my girl outside in the day 6am - 5pm, then inside for 4hrs of darkness, then under lights from 9pm - 6am. Repeat.
The plan is to leave her outside 24hrs when flowering. Will the rats get her?Week 1

Black fliesPlease help. From start of grow i noticed black flies in tent. I think after research they are fungal flies. I have sprayed plants/soil with diluted neem oil and did a neem oil flush but still the odd one appears. Any ideas what else I can do? ThanksWeek 1
