translucent pest in soil
AlpAge_Cino
started 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.

I think 18" was a bit too much for the plants and has affected the growth rate. Do you think these are stunted? Also do you think that the yellowing is because of the light? or other issues such as PH (unknown)?

5 autos 3 strains growing and started all the same time. I am at week 5 and all except one are showing flowering. If I change the light schedule from 18-6 to 12-12, would that hurt the rest or stunt whats already flowering? or just continue and make room

Thrips infestation and chemical pesticide, help!
I've bugs, probably thrips. I'll not be able to obtain organic pesticide (neem oil based) before one week! Is the 7th day from germination, the white bastards are developing and spreading ultrafast. Would be safe to use a chemical pesticide made for roses at this stage?

Parassiti
Ho trovato qualche parassita sulle foglie. Di che parassita si tratta? È il caso che faccia un ciclo di olio di neem? Vedo che le foglie più grandi a ventaglio, hanno molti segni bianchi, come se questi insetti si cibassero di loro.

When an auto still hasn't shown pre-flowers at week 5 or 6, does that mean the entire growth cycle will be longer - or will it simply have that much less time for flowering once it starts doing that?

Hey all, I was wondering if things look good growth wise? I feel like she got off to a slow start but she seems to be coming along nicely now. Only have a few grows under my belt so I don’t have much to compare to.

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?

What are these bugs? Should I harvest?
Can anyone identify these? They are blackish red. Some are more clear greenish. On another note, do you think the plant is ready to harvest? I generally don't like too much amber.

Bugs? Funghi? Help me!
There are some white spots at the base of my stem, and I noticed that lady #1 haves some red/purple stems. 5min into Google and I'm already panicking here. Things that I read that made me worry: Scales, Fusarium, root rot and other fungi life. Should I continue freaking out? 😶
