Could be a bad worm, I don’t trust those teeth. Might want to chew away on your roots.

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?

Rats on the farm I 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?

Because HBBS took so long to germinate, I decided to germinate another. Within 24 hours of germinating the new seed, HBBS cracked and grew a tail so I decided to plant it. Is the new seed still usable given it's cracked (no tail yet)?

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? 😐

Fungus gnats damage?A week ago i started noticing fungus gnats on the plant, already working on them. Today i noticed a lot more dark pistils over the plant since yesterday, could it be correlated to the gnats? also noticed that smaller leaves don't grow since a week or so, is it also correlated?

Hey all, I was wondering if things look good growth wise? I feel like she got off to a slow start but she seems to be coming along nicely now. Only have a few grows under my belt so I don’t have much to compare to.

Still feel like she may be a tad short considering what days she’s on. Any experienced growers weigh in on whether she’s doing alright or not (since completely new to this and winging it)? Watering her every 3 days approx 200ish ml

Into week 4 now and looking at other blue mystic journals, she seems kind of stubby and slow. Im guessing this is down to pot size and other novice parts I've played. Any advice or comments would be great.

neem oil soil drench, is it safe?I've seen two ways of using neem oil to get rid of gnats, foliar spray and soil drenching. I've done the foliar spray but was hesitant to drench the roots in neem oil.. I guess by only doing the foliar spray the larva are still eating the roots.. I just wanna make sure thanks 🙏
