please dont dump neem oil to your soil because you have springtails. springtails are very beneficial. just get better pics.

i dont see any thrips damage on your plants 99.9% they’re springtails a very important part of any organic soil and they will not harm your plants

98% of the time its springtails and they are very beneficial, 1% of the time they’re hypoaspis miles even more beneficial and the remaining 1% may be something detrimental but i cant see the actual bugs get close ups please as suggested.

Im not seeing any bugs in your picture, Are you able to get a closeup on just one bug and circle it. They could be Mealybugs, spring tail, soil mites

Spider mites
So it turns out the Thrips were not Thrips at all they are bloody spider mites. Noticed them feeding on nematodes after spraying. Predator mites on there way and sprayed with an 1-8 iso mix. Now should i rinse the plant with just water before adding the predators?

Addressing small insects quickly and effectively?
Dealing with tiny insects indoors. I went with the most easily available option to me (Triple Action Neem Oil by Southern Ag) and it works really well in my vegetable garden. If this doesn't seem to work, what are some other options I should use? Vegetative stage.

How many weeks left? Auto
Is it too soon to flush it? It's on week 12 and I was supposed to harvest 3 weeks ago. This week the stigmas were getting brown so I flushed it. Is it premature? How many weeks do you think I have left? It's got spider mites problems but I'm fighting every day. Thank you! 😘

She’s already showing pistils and hasn’t started to really grow yet. Should I avoid topping? I’m afraid she won’t recover and I’ll hurt the potential yields.

Best way to get rid of aphids as a starter?
Hi there! So I recently started with my first grow and I'm really new to all of this. I started out with a plant outside, The Aphids must have come with the plant once I've switched to indoor growing. I ordered myself some Spinosad. Any other suggestions or tips?

Will neem oil in bloom ruin grow??
Yesterday 2 days before week 5 bloom I spotted spider mites on some leaves with my telescope. I have only been growing for a year now. Question is did I ruin the grow. I did a light spray and tried to only spray leaves but it is impossible to not get nugs as well.

I'm going to be making some insecticide with oil and washing up liquid. The most eco friendly for want of a better term liquid I could find is in the pic below. Is it ok to spray on my girl? I have identified green fly and thrips.

Can anyone tell me what these are and if I should be worried about them? I thought they were aphids at first but now I'm starting to have second thoughts they seem a bit too small to be aphids and the lady buds. I'm thinking they might be Neoseiulus fallacies
