GrowingGrannieanswered grow question a year ago
I've got a friend with the same problem... he sprinkles black pepper in a fairly wide swath around his plants (other suggestions are cayenne, dry mustard powder or coffee grounds)... cats don't like the smell and will (apparently) stay away... but it would need to be a WIDE swath so they don't jump over it... In the case of the pepper, I would think you'd have to re-sprinkle after a rain. Don't know if coffee grounds work (he doesn't use them) but I would try THEM because they wouldn't be affected by rainfall. Ask your local coffee shop for a donation of their used coffee grounds... you could even provide them with a 5 gallon bucket to collect them in... at worst, you'd have to remove coffee filters from the pile before scattering them on the ground...
Good luck - MY cat only likes to sleep under them and then only when they're in flower...

Your plants appear to be inside an enclosure. Close the door.
Your cats are telling you something. Grow them some cat grass. Our cat really like oat grass though some like rye. Get a low pot and grow some grass (rye or oat). Leave it on the floor for the cats so they can do their plant eating where it does no harm.

Those pussies must be punished!
Place a screen around the plants, something like a garden mesh.
And when you see cat's sniffing around the plants then spray them wet with a hose!

Hey, the only way I kept cats away was to put some mesh fencing around the pots. Cats love the plants!!

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

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.

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?

Eaten leafs by something?Hi, there's some sort of pest eating away at my leafs but it's just on a few and I can't seem to find the culprit! Anyone have any ideas? Could it be something else? It's my first grow so I'm not at all sure. Should I leave it or do something to treat? Cheers all!
