Springtails, Yey or nay?
WeedIsNiceYostarted grow question 2y 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!

Just a bit more info , they're defintely not thrips as last grow i dealt with them and they're nothing alike. They also lack the typical black spots. Couldn't get a pic as my camera is horrible, demonstared in the diary lol

Possible spider mites?I can't get a good pic of it but I've found with loupe a couple black dots here and there one 1 plant. I'm not sure what it is. They aren't moving. This 1 is right on the line of harvesting. What do I do? Not sure but don't wanna risk it either way contaminating my other plantsWeek 11

Fungus gnats ruined my last grow and I just found one in my tent. I mixed food grade diatomaceous Earth in my soil just in case, but it looks like it didn’t work. I topped the soil with more and have a moving fan. Is there anything else I can do? I’m scared of another infestationWeek 2

Possible Pest Problem (All white worms.)Hello everyone. I found two tiny worms in the runoff of one of my plants in coco coir. My first thought was gnats, but there’s no dark end. I also read it could be springtails. EC levels in runoff are a little high, but pH is good and the plants looks better than ever. Thanks!

Need input on the growth so far. My node/internode spacing is very tight which has resulted in short and bushy/dense plants. I understand there are several contributing factors to this but how does it impact yield? What to do if my spacing too tight? Should I even be concerned?Week 5

Do I just hose it off and proceed as normal? Or hose it off and give to my most leechy smoking friend?Looks like mould, but I'm guessing spider mites.
I tried the 3 days of dark, pulled it out of the cupboard and it had this big clump on it. There was the odd spider mite before the cupboard.
Basically just wondering if I'll die sooner if I try and clean it up and smoke it???
