That's most likely a thrip.... depending on how close you are to harvest, grab yourself some Spinosad or Dr. Zymes Eliminator - both are organic, both can be applied right up to harvest whereas neem oil cannot... Good luck!

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growing
Hi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing. Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering. However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight) Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace - should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight? - If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedling

Hello, after the answers and the help from fellow growmies i put the sprouts in the greenhouse for light. One of them grows so rapidly. Do you think theres a reason one of them grows so much faster?

When will they stop growing?
Estoy preocupado por la privacidad. Estamos en la semana 6 y estas “Automaria-II” miden 57 cm. ¿Cuándo dejarán de crecer? ¿Podría controlar la altura? Crecieron 28 cm en 12 días y quedan unos 25 cm hasta el límite de la valla. Si crecen más podrían ser vistas por los vecinos.

Plants positioning, Indoor / Outdoor to start?
Is it okay to be moving the plants between the inside and the outside whilst they are still seedlings - according to what the weather is doing? Would it be better to keep them inside, by the window under a small LED until they are a bit stronger?Worried as the sun is very strong!

Flowerin/Preflowering/Showing Sex in Vegative stage?
Today I noticed all my outdoor plants have pistils after being 3-5weeks outside. Is this normal and will they continue veg due to increasing days/temps? Also, could this be reversed with additional light? Currently in the 7th week of Spring with 14h light and 13h sunrise.

Slow Growth and Leaf Issues
Transplanted outdoors over a week ago and have noticed slow growth and new leaves have little holes and yellow spots on them. I've checked for bugs but can't see anything. Could this be nutrient-related? Or shock? Ph levels? Too rich soil? Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

Yellowing Too Fast Or Natural?
I'm roughly 2-3 weeks into flower. Over the last week, I've noticed more yellow leaves than normal. Majority are bigger, older fan leaves but some are moving up the plants. New growths are a nice green and buds look healthy. Am I under feeding or overreacting?

How to fix leggy plants?
Hello all! I received 4 plants that were about 2-3 ft tall and top heavy. They are growing denser now, and I started topping them off to maintain the height. Currently they are in 3 gallon fabric pots. I supported the skinny bases with wood stakes and ties, but they grew mold :(
