translucent pest in soil
AlpAge_Cinostarted grow question 2y ago
Hi, 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

Either Springtails or White mites imho, kinda need a better pic but from the color that seems most likely.

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.Leaves. Color - Yellow

Hello_Jeff
Mites appeared... 2 weeks leftI started noticing a few mites , which I mistook for orange fruit flies or something. Also there were 3-4 green ones but I could not find any kind of colony and thoroughly blew air through all the leaves.
Should I take any more measures at this point of flower?Week 9

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!Week 6

Found 2 bugs. A fungus gnat and a white crawler.The white one had legs, but seemed little bigger than the gnat, maybe a gnat transitioning from larvae to fly? Gonna let soil dry, and apply stiky traps. You guys think its enough? Only found two maybe a third flying around. Should i apply any other measures?Other. Bugs

I'm a bit confused as to why I'm still in the veg phase as I'm so far along. Other journals with the same Nirvana amnesia haze auto flowering seeds seem to be starting flowering at week 5. I'm about out of vertical space and with the flowering stretch I'm going to be in troubleWeek 9

Bug InfestationI 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!Week 18
