Earwigs are stripping branches and eating buds. It's only on one strain but they are destroying the plant. Take a bit early or keep fighting?

I have a strain that some nocturnal insect (ear wigs) I think that have been STRIPPING lower interior branches. Last night I almost cut a branch that looked done. This morning I showed up and the bottom half of that branch was stripped. Try more methods or take a week early. Tia

Mate, sorry for this issue. I got the same with clematis. I use to spray on these bastards a solution of pure alcohol and water (1/3) and it works fine.

You could make a solution of dishsoap and water and spray them off your plants, (use a pump spray for better pressure). I grow basil close to my plants which seems to keep most insects away.

Bug control info needed for outdoorsCould you please suggest some safe bug killer powders or solutions for Cannabis plants growing outdoors. I have not found the bugs that are making little round holes in the leaves. No aphids or spider mites visible. I live on east coast of Canada, if that information is helpful.Week 8

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?Other. Bugs

Should the wee Haze not be a wee bit bigger by now? It's been fed a light mix of Canna Start nutes (for seedlings/clones), Rhizo, CalMag & Cannazym. Certainly not been over-watered (maybe under?). Sitting in its final 12L pot already, so no root disturbance for two weeks now.Week 8

MUD GNATSHi there everyone how do I get rid of mud gnats from an inside grow without using any spray? I've used yellow sticker trap's and put cinnamon powder around the top of the soil to stop them from getting in the soil and laying eggs to produce more but with no luckWeek 3

What kind of pest is this?The pictures of leaves show the symptoms and the microscope pics are of what I believe to be the culprit, suspended in scotch tape for ease of view. With the naked eye they looked like little black spots and they bunched up right below the affected spots.Other. Bugs

Something invisible is eating leaves!Something is eating leaves! There are two big holes on the top leaves since yesterday. Also it looks like the sides of new leaves are eaten off. It seems like there are some micro yellow things on the eaten edges, but they are to small for me to see. What could it be?3y ago
