No idea... If you see holes in your leaves, grab some BT and spray! If you don't see any holes, it was just a benign visitor... Good luck!

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?

Something invisible is eating leaves!
Something is eating leaves! There are two big holes on the top leaves since yesterday. Also it looks like the sides of new leaves are eaten off. It seems like there are some micro yellow things on the eaten edges, but they are to small for me to see. What could it be?

Identify bug / larva
Any idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.

Spider mites in late flowering
I have mites on one of the King's I'm starting week 7 of flower now and I don't think spraying is going to be the best decision. I've flushed my plants today, the other ones don't have spots on leaves. The sick plant is moved away form the others. Should I harvest it early or ?

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?

How many others have otherwise healthy autos take 4+ months regularly? The one in my bonus pictures (not in the grow, didnt feel like moving it from tent) didnt even flower the first time until 3-4 weeks ago, 7 months in. We even quit fucking with it for two months completely.

When an auto still hasn't shown pre-flowers at week 5 or 6, does that mean the entire growth cycle will be longer - or will it simply have that much less time for flowering once it starts doing that?

Pest control that's safe?
I'm starting my first grow - indoors, in a spider farmer light and tent, with coco & perlite as the medium. Is there a preventative product that I can spray on my plants to avoid pests that won't affect quality or be harmful? Heard that neem was bad for plants and humans

Spiders in the outdoor garden, good or bad?
I was out in the garden tending to my ladies and came across a couple of spiders. I know spiders are supposed to eat other bugs, but that also involves a spider web. So, my question is should I leave the spiders alone? Or should I kill them as I find them, like other bugs?

Rust colored spots on leaves. Please help! Thanks
3 days ago found one tiny leafhopper, haven’t seen any more. Misted the leaves with dish soap and water. Just got Natria Organic Insecticidal Soap, haven’t used because the plants are in dark. Now have rust colored spots on leaves. Is it from leafhoppers, dish soap, other? Thanks
