Spiders in the outdoor garden, good or bad?I was out in the garden tending to my ladies and came across a couple of spiders. I know spiders are supposed to eat other bugs, but that also involves a spider web. So, my question is should I leave the spiders alone? Or should I kill them as I find them, like other bugs?

Rats on the farmI live on a farm and there are rats that run around in the night.
Atm I'm moving my girl outside in the day 6am - 5pm, then inside for 4hrs of darkness, then under lights from 9pm - 6am. Repeat.
The plan is to leave her outside 24hrs when flowering. Will the rats get her?Week 1

What are these bugs?Just discovered these little black bugs. I don't think they're flying. They're mostly on the soil. Some were on the stalk but they don't seem to be on the leaves and buds. I'm growing indoors in organic soil. Not sure if these are a problem or if they'll regulate themselves.
