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. ☺️👍

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

hello guys
I'm dealing with a gnats infestation. I'm treating my girl with neem oil and adhesive stripes so my questions are
1. can you confirm these are fungus gnats?
2. any advice?
3. how to water? I don't want to wet the soil because this would make things worse

Eaten leafs by something?Hi, there's some sort of pest eating away at my leafs but it's just on a few and I can't seem to find the culprit! Anyone have any ideas? Could it be something else? It's my first grow so I'm not at all sure. Should I leave it or do something to treat? Cheers all!

WHat are these bugs?I had a Fungus Gnat problem, so I let the top soil dry and bottom water my fabric pots.
Now, these little fellas live underneath my pots..
Any idea what they are? Is the worm like fella a nematode (I did use wormcasting tea)? Or a Fungus gnat larvae?
How about those other bugs?
