Bugs in my soil
GrassIsGreenerstarted grow question 2 years ago
The soil I got seems to have come with friends. How do I get rid of little black flies in my soil? Should I deploy sticky traps? Will that be enough?

Those are called "fungus gnats" there are many things you can do to deal with these, personally I use diatomaceous earth by Gaia Greens. Spread a bit on top of the medium when the top layer is almost dry, the stuff is great for fighting the above and is a good source of silica. Two birds stoned at once. Use this along side the stickers and you will notice the population decrease until they are no longer a problem, another practice is conditioning the soil (a solution you water your medium with to kill any pathogens or bugs before you use it) hope this helps!

I've used diatomaceous earth with fairly poor results since it needs to be dry to be effective.. and sticky traps only catch SOME of the adults... The one thing I've found that will kill the adults, larvae and eggs naturally is something called Mosquito Bits... soak the granules according to the directions and use the water to water your plants.... fungus gnats, gone!
Fungus gnats live is very moist/wet soil so if you have a problem with them, it's saying you're keeping your substrate much too wet. Let it dry out completely before watering/feeding again... cannabis requires that wet/dry cycle to perform/grow well.
Good luck...

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?

Spider mites in late floweringI 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 ?5 days ago

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?
