Lady bugs
GrowCNanswered grow question 3 years ago
Should you be worried? Yes and no. Lady beetles are good insects as others have pointed out. They eat pest insects and are a great addition to an organic grow. If they showed up in your plant on their own and they are sticking around I worry about what they are eating. It is good that they are there eating the bad insects but it also means you have bad insects so I like to keep an eye on things.

That's why I'm worried I can't see any other kind of bug except for a few leaf hoppers

No. Ladybugs are predatory insects, and eat spider mites. So, they're a good thing.

I buy them ever year for my outdoor garden. They are fantastic at helping with aphids and white flies and the like. Just be careful when your plants are flowering. Usually if they find a good food supply they are likely to lay eggs near the plants. Mostly in the undersides of leaves, small orange eggs laid in groups. 🐞

No definitely not! they are predators for other bad bugs.. you got lucky cuz its like having security around your plant.
It is very common for people to pay to buy bags of ladybugs and set them free on their cannabis for this reason.

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?

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

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?

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?

handelt es sich bei den Tieren um schwarze blattläuse? (Habe leider keine besseren Bilder hinbekommen)
Ich habe auch einige größere schwarze Tiere mit Flügeln an ähnlichen Stellen gefunden.
Denkt ihr mit Wasser und anschließend mit einer Seifenspirituslösung abspritzen reicht?
