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?

masterofsmeagolstarted grow question 5y ago

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.

Leaf miners I spotted leaf miners' damage on a couple of leaves and an adult fly. What can I do to prevent them to spread and get rid of them at this stage of flowering? For now I'm trying to low the humidity a bit more to make the environment less ideal for them.

Parassiti Ho trovato qualche parassita sulle foglie. Di che parassita si tratta? È il caso che faccia un ciclo di olio di neem? Vedo che le foglie più grandi a ventaglio, hanno molti segni bianchi, come se questi insetti si cibassero di loro.

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

Outdoor aphid removal suggestions?Looks like I may have aphids on this plant. Small holes nibbled through, spotted one tiny critter and knocked it off, and then sprayed 1/4 spirit vinegar + 3/4 water mixture on the underside of the leaves, hoping to be rid of the pests. Any further suggestions or thoughts? 😐

Brown spots and holes Had snails and aphids earlier, but knocked them out. I'm these brown spots / holes in my girl. Don't think they're the snails and don't see any bugs.... been rainy and fairly cool, 60-70F. PH is currently high at 6.9. Any thoughts or recommendations for a mostly clueless newbie?

I was going to dunk my plants into a soap and water mix and then rinse them off, is that a bad idea 5 weeks into flower?I saw some aphids here and there the other day, so I was thinking I was going to rinse my plants again today, but I sprayed some neem oil around the pots yesterday and today I can’t find any... Is it okay to rinse my plants 5 weeks into flower, will it mess up the trichomes?
