Flies on plant What are these flies that were in my space bucket? First thought was fungus gnats, but the soil is bone dry (actually forgot to water yesterday). There is nothing on the underside of the leaves either, so doesn't look like aphids.

Alright I am not sure what to do. The breeder suggests 60 days in flower and she is ready for harvest. But because of the thrips infestation I had, 1 girl seems to be stunted. Should I just wait longer than 60 days and hopefully they recover and fully mature?

Silverfish I found a silverfish (is this the correct name?) in the soil of a plant; obviously I immediately threw it out and checked if there were others by moving the ground a little, but how do I make sure I make them disappear? or do you know if they can be harmful to the plant? 😭
