Bug Infestation
FoxyTstarted grow question a year ago
I want to identify the bug that has infested my garden. Is neem oil a good solution to prevent this problem next round?
There is damage on top of the leaves as shown in the two pictures I provided. Couldn't see anything on the bottom of the leaves.
Thank you in advance!

Doesn't matter if the insects were aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, or thrips... just doesn't matter. I've found neem oil to be pretty ineffectual, personally... rather, I have two products that are always on my shelves - the first is Dr. Zymes Eliminator (if you can't get that where you live, look for some Spinosad). This will kill any of these insects - they suck on the leaves as opposed to eating them.
The second thing I always have on hand is BT (bascillius thuringiensis) which will kill things that actually chew on the leaves - things like catepillars...
Both are organic, both can be used no matter what stage your plant is in - right up to the day of harvest - and both will kill adults, eggs and larvae .. The only other thing I use is Mosquito Bits for fungus gnats...
For your next grow, be very aware of any little mark on your leaves... if it's not something like a calcium deficiency, it's probably an insect and you don't need to actually SEE the damned thing to start protecting your plant... but always spray these or anything just before lights out.
Good luck...

Think about it, you KNOW at some point in your life you smoked a dead fungus knat lol. I got rid of them by hanging about 4-5 of those super sticky things, just be careful not to let them touch the fan leaves on your plant because it will tear it off. Plus since they lay their eggs in the soil, maybe once a week remove about 1 inch of soil and replace it with new. Check to make sure you're not over watering and feeding those bastards. Mix 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar with about 15 drops of dawn dish soap in a bowl and put that in corner. You can leave it open or place wrap over the top with a hole cut in the middle.

HerbalEdu ha ragione sulla foglia vedi i puntini neri ,sono le cacche dei tripidi
sono un fastidio enorme,le soluzioni sono varie dalla plastica adesiva blu(funziona meglio della gialla) una cosa che non amano è l'umidita'
se hai finito ricorda di disinfettare tutto con alcol e non sottovalutare le ventole e i posti piu nascosti...
l'olio di neem le uccide ,una spruzzata di acqua potente le fa cadere
e l'umidita alta gli da fastidio...spero ti aiuti per la prossima coltivazione

A better picture in natural light would help a lot to make a proper identification...

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.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

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?
