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.

Shes bushy and harder to LST for air flow/light to the lower sites. The larger leaves are laying on the top of the bucket, and there's moisture when lifted. I'm using a larger fan to keep air moving. Do you recommend trimming some leaves during veg? Also which leaves would I cut?Week 4

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.Week 3

Are these springtails "infecting" my DWC bucket? There's no smell and the plant is doing greatI might have a springtail "infection". Can I get some additional eyes on these? Sorry, I don't have a microscope. Tiny, white jumping specks. My googling tells me that they are "springtails" and supposedly harmless or even beneficial. Thoughts?Week 9

What are these bugs and what to do about them?Hi,
I spotted these on one of my balcony plants today. Somekind of mites?
They were around the sugar to middle sized leaves on new growth. It's around early to mid flower.
I removed the leaves that had the most on them and tried to get rid of those who were left. What else to do?Other. Bugs

not inexperienced but my first scrog and indr photo grow. Only problem is lower temps (nothing I can do to fix this) which may be slowing growth. Any thoughts on defo, training to advance to flower? Been a long veg. and wondering if I’m doing something wrong or just impatient?Week 7
