Hey buddy For the roots , get some mykorrhiza. For the leaves get some cannacure and neemoil. Spray 1- 2 times a week with neemoil to prevent. Stop when the buds are visible. You should be good friend

I think thrip infestation, W3 in flowering, the ladies look healthy in general. 1st time growing, almost there and now this. Pls halp
I already saw a few from the little rascals, not sure if thrips or some other bug infestation. 4-5 fan leaves from one of the plants looks like to be only affected at this point. Purchased and planted sticky traps few hrs ago. Getting neem oil tomorrow. Is it thrips or som. else?

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

Help! She is just 1 weeks old Does neem oil help spider mites and fungus gnats on soil? Any other suggestions?
Hello! our 1 week old autoflower got already some spider mites I guess (small yellow spinning creatures) and fungus gnats. We gave her just 0.1 lt water 2 days ago with root juice. She is in bio bizz all mix soil. Any idea if using neem oil would help getting rid of them?

Pest Control/Prevention before flower?
Noticed this on one of my leaves, I already had to deal with the mite situation with my cucumber. Are they the cause of this? or another pest possibly? What methods other then neem oil and my homemade spray can help me fend them off even more?

I’m not sure, but I feel like I’m getting slow, compact growth. The fan leaves are coming in pretty fat. This my 3rd grow. Still in the middle of flowering my 2nd grow. So I’m not exactly sure when things are going right, just notice when the start to look off.

Organic IPM
What do you all use for IPM? I got tweetmint, em-5 from BuildASoil & neem oil. I just tried a solution of neem oil, AGSil 16H & ThermX70…forgot to PH balance the solution so I came back & sprayed the leaves with a lower ph purified drinking water. I’m growing organically btw.

Black gnats in soil
So this is not really a question for this plant. But my house plants have become infested with little black gnats, that seem to be in the soil. They kinda hang around the plants and doesn't stray too far from them. Question is, what do you guys do to get rid of these suckers?

I found 2 fungus gnats on one of my sticky traps. Is a couple of them a major cause for concern? I can't see any moving around. Both of the pots in the tent are currently closer to on the dry side. Should I take any preventative measures?

Fungus gnats ruined my last grow and I just found one in my tent. I mixed food grade diatomaceous Earth in my soil just in case, but it looks like it didn’t work. I topped the soil with more and have a moving fan. Is there anything else I can do? I’m scared of another infestation

They are each planted in 1 gallon smart pots and were directly planted into 5 gallons after roughly 27 days. I noticed my plants are small compared to others and was wondering if this had anything to do with it. Roots pierced their 1g pots around 30-40 days and are still going.

Can you please help me ID bugs? A beneficial mite and a fungus gnat or root aphids?
Saw a flyer in the soil today. Had to kill it though so it's a bit smashed on the photos. The yellow mite is really tiny and on one photo you can see the tweezer's end for comparison. Should I let the soil dry out and then continue watering with BTI/botanigard once a week?
