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!

Help identify pests
Need help identifying these bugs. I found them under rockwool cubes in the cloner They seem to like the moisture and were not bothering the vegetation at all. I even found them under a few cubes with no cuts in them. Is it possible that they are fungus nat larvae?

How many weeks left? Auto
Is it too soon to flush it? It's on week 12 and I was supposed to harvest 3 weeks ago. This week the stigmas were getting brown so I flushed it. Is it premature? How many weeks do you think I have left? It's got spider mites problems but I'm fighting every day. Thank you! 😘

Growth is twisted. Is it because of Fungus gnats ?
I have fungus gnats (black flies) for less than a week. Temp 29°c, water Ph was at 7 (now 6.5). I didn't think there were so many flies but look at those twisted leaves on 2 plants ! I've put some Diatomaceous Earth yesterday.

Hello! I've seen a lot of pictures on this site and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I didn't use any fertilizer. However, today (day19), Nr.1 started the pre-flowering phase. I have seen one pistil coming out. Any ideas why it seems little and slow?

Organic IPM
What do you all use for IPM? I got tweetmint, em-5 from BuildASoil & neem oil. I just tried a solution of neem oil, AGSil 16H & ThermX70…forgot to PH balance the solution so I came back & sprayed the leaves with a lower ph purified drinking water. I’m growing organically btw.

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!

Is my weed rotting? Please help and thank you in advance, I am starting to become a little paranoic
I am curing my weed and I found some small bugs on the buds (mostly flies), there were not a lot but I am a bit worried since also the color is starting to look a bit strange, or are maybe only the amberish trichomes? Also could bug go inside pistils? I found this strange thing

Noticed one of my girls hasn’t really sprouted as much as the rest although the roots appear fine? (Touching bottom of pot) Could this be because it’s directly under the LED light or other issues causing stunting
