This is a young larvae "Zeuzera Pyrina" a wood eating critter. This bastard often attacks my apple tree, is potentially dangerous for the main stem but it never attacked weed, until now.

Well every now and then I find one in compost myself. Never really looked into it but it seems as a wood eating bug. I worry more about nematodes than these here.

I also think it is a beetle larvae. I'm wondering if they are beneficial for the soil health and eat the ones yoy don't want like thrips, mites and the like....

Well, the only beneficials I can think of are ladybugs 🐞 and lacewigs - and that is definitely not one of those two thinks.
It’s looks more like a meal worm- we used to use them for fishing bait.

What are these bugs and what to do about them?Hi,
I spotted these on one of my balcony plants today. Somekind of mites?
They were around the sugar to middle sized leaves on new growth. It's around early to mid flower.
I removed the leaves that had the most on them and tried to get rid of those who were left. What else to do?

Spider mites in late floweringI have mites on one of the King's I'm starting week 7 of flower now and I don't think spraying is going to be the best decision. I've flushed my plants today, the other ones don't have spots on leaves. The sick plant is moved away form the others. Should I harvest it early or ?5 days ago

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.

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?
