Sticky traps is a good beginning but don’t drench your soil,you will only suffocate your root zone,
You need some predator mites for the bugs on your plant and nematodes for the larvae in the soil..natural pest control 👌🏻💪🏻

Watering with neem oil and a couple drops of dye free fragrance free dish soap to mix neem with water better. If you still have gnats Water and Hydrogen peroxide 4 : 1 ratio. You can also purchace beneficial nematodes to control gnat larvae. ☺️👍

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

What is the right way to place yellow sticky traps?I'm having some fungus gnats and was planning to begin LST in a couple of days so I can't keep the traps in the pot near the soil like I have them now. What would be the right way to place them to catch the gnats without touching the plant? Thanks!Week 3

How to remove Mites before harvest, after final discharge, in some natural way so as not to harm the buds?I did a defoliation, but I saw that there are few mites still close to the buds. I'm going to harvest this week and I would like to know how to eliminate them so that I don't have problems drying them or smoking them in the end.Leaves. Too few

Spiders in the outdoor garden, good or bad?I was out in the garden tending to my ladies and came across a couple of spiders. I know spiders are supposed to eat other bugs, but that also involves a spider web. So, my question is should I leave the spiders alone? Or should I kill them as I find them, like other bugs?
