Rust colored spots on leaves. Please help! Thanks 3 days ago found one tiny leafhopper, haven’t seen any more. Misted the leaves with dish soap and water. Just got Natria Organic Insecticidal Soap, haven’t used because the plants are in dark. Now have rust colored spots on leaves. Is it from leafhoppers, dish soap, other? Thanks

neem oil soil drench, is it safe?I've seen two ways of using neem oil to get rid of gnats, foliar spray and soil drenching. I've done the foliar spray but was hesitant to drench the roots in neem oil.. I guess by only doing the foliar spray the larva are still eating the roots.. I just wanna make sure thanks 🙏

Are these springtails "infecting" my DWC bucket? There's no smell and the plant is doing great I might have a springtail "infection". Can I get some additional eyes on these? Sorry, I don't have a microscope. Tiny, white jumping specks. My googling tells me that they are "springtails" and supposedly harmless or even beneficial. Thoughts?

Can you please help me ID bugs? A beneficial mite and a fungus gnat or root aphids?Saw a flyer in the soil today. Had to kill it though so it's a bit smashed on the photos. The yellow mite is really tiny and on one photo you can see the tweezer's end for comparison. Should I let the soil dry out and then continue watering with BTI/botanigard once a week?

Organic/Natural Bug Control Outdoors Bugs have been nibbling on my outdoor ladies. I'm looking for tips/suggestions for controlling bugs organically/naturally. I am growing Basil, Chives, Oregano and Spearmint around the ladies in an effort to help deter bugs. But that's not working as well as I had hoped.

Round holes in leaves I’ve got something munching on my plant and making round holes in a couple of the leaves at the top. Anyone have any ideas on what it may be or if I should be worried? I can’t spot the culprit, so I’m hoping it’s a unfortunate one off?
