Ewww, gross! Definitively thrips. You can use kieselguhr/diatomite to fight them and/or burn them all right now with hydrogen peroxide (depends on how living is your soil).

Definitely not fungus gnats. They fly around. Hempy the kid says springtail but I think you have thrips there my friend. Yeah I’d do a google search on thrips and see a good method of controlling them. Good luck.

If your not seeing anything flying around, it's probably a springtail.

Hey guys. Seems this one is a bit slow compared to her Sis. Could this be of the soil mix in the final pot that I transplanted it in? It's in about 60% peat moss/Perlite (Pindstrup brand) and about 20 % forest soil, 10% sifted cow manure and 10% cow manure ash.

best leaf insects repellent I have found a few bad insects on my plants past weeks. Does anyone have experience with neem oil? Is it worth a try or would I be better of buying something else? White vinegar with dishsoap didn't help much. The bugs are: grasshoppers, stinkbugs, spidermites & fungus gnats.

After speaking with the breeder about this plant that won’t flower, I’ve taken their advice to switch the dark/light to 14/10. I’ll post some pics tonight. Has anyone had such a hard time getting a plant to flower before? And, if so, what did you do to get it to switch?

With my cocktail for 2nd lady I reach an EC of 580 ppm. Is that enough or should I gain nutrients? It seems she stopped growing into height. Should I do something against that? What is a good amount of cal/mag in the water?

Thrip in a bud?!So, today arrived my microscope to check trichomes and as I was looking them suddenly appeared a thrip on the lens. I´ve been dealing with them in my grow for about 2 weeks now. It´s not that bad but a thrip in the bud is enough for me. What do you do to anihilate these things?

Hello. This is my first grow. This is day 35 from clone transplant. I have a scrog built at 15" from the soil level. Do I need to reduce this for my current plant height as shown in the pictures? I don't fully understand the stretching I will get with Sativa-dominant?
