Springtails, Yey or nay?
WeedIsNiceYostarted grow question 8 months ago
When i watered my ladies today, I noticed a ton of little white "worms" in the run off. After some research I'm pretty confident they're Springtails, as in closer inspection they had anthenas and jumped around like crazy.Are these benefitial or should i try and erradicate them?

springtaila decompose organic matter in the soil. they are a sign of good soil and they are very useful in a compost pile.
If the population is concerning to you, then you can control them with some nematodes or soaps. I don't think they cause a massive issue in soil based grows.
I'd leave em, they stay in the medium and will die out when it gets to dry. They feed on sugars as well so if your feeding any of that it is bloom their population.
Good Luck!

Minor damage to a few leaves found today - what is it?I am trying to determine the cause of damage to a few leaves that was observed this week. It may be two different problems. On a few leaves, I see brown spots which may have originally been white. On another 2 leaves, I see a burn hole through the leaves with brown edges.

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?Week 4

started off in a 1ltr pot, I want to transplant into a bigger container but the only ones I have are 5gallon/19liter smart pots. I'm only growing this auto flower for medical use and I'm happy to use the 5gallon pot. Anyone think this is a bad idea? Is it too big? Thanks!Week 1
