What are these little guys that I found in my worm...

Chamallastarted grow question 7y ago

What are these little guys that I found in my worm castings? They look like (and probably are) little white mites, question is are they dangerous to just germinated seeds and seedlings etc.? Or are they good guys?

Hi there! This could be aphids or thrips. In both cases, if they manage to multiply they can seriously hurt your plants, I'd recommend to treat your soil & seedlings with neem oil as soon as you can, these bugs can propagate very quickly. I'll be around, keep us up-to-date about the situation, until then good luck with these babies!

Definitely aphids, Neem oil is the best solution.

They do look like root aphids and yes they are dangerous. Just in case, try to pass your finger on top of the soil and if they jump all over, then they are springtails which are benefitial.

Uh oh, I was just checking my plants today and I noticed one or two little worm lookin things. They look like thrips from all the stuff I’ve seen. There isn’t many maybe 10 that I saw and removed myself. Now that my plant is going into full flower I’m not really sure what to do.

About those fungus gnats, I definately won't be buying bags soil from the same distributor next time. Since this pest is something most growers wind up with on occasion so do you try to add preventatives to your soil mix every time or take some other steps?

Music and Plants At what level should you play classical / instrumental music , I already know it's one of the top kinds of music you can play for your cannabis plant, more so then heavy metal music. Would anyone know at what volume it should be for the plant ? or does it matter?

😧 I discovered & killed some spider mites on the plant (about 4 or 5). A small number of affected leaves with white spots (no webbing) were removed. Sprayed some methylated spirit + soap water on the bottom part of the plant below buds. Any tips for bugs this late in flower?

What are some good preventative measures besides the obvious (being clean, no outside stuff inside etc) to keep pests at bay? I have yet to deal with bugs but I'd love to know a method of prevention that's close to fool proof. I dont want them :)

Seemed to have a small amount of springtails. Read that they aren’t a problem but they seemed to be multiplying pretty rapidly. Is it worth getting some nematodes as I am in week 7 now?
