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.

Bugging out, help please
Take a look at the pics of two insects. I have no idea what they are. If they're friendly predator bugs or bastard leaf munchers. Any help greatly appreciated in identifying these two.

Thrips after that all the aphids are gone, Orius bugs are enough to eliminate them?
I've got some Thrips, The aphids plague that I had before is totally gone. But it's not a good idea to spray everything in with neem oil since the buds are being formed. I ordered myself 100 Orius bugs. Any other tip?

Best way to get rid of aphids as a starter?
Hi there! So I recently started with my first grow and I'm really new to all of this. I started out with a plant outside, The Aphids must have come with the plant once I've switched to indoor growing. I ordered myself some Spinosad. Any other suggestions or tips?

Beneficial mites? (Hypoaspis miles)
So I was fixing a problem and found what seem to be beneficial mites? This is my first organic grow and have never dealt with these before. I haven’t notice a overload of them but are they dangerous and will they get worse? Any advice with experience will be much appreciated

This morning I found a huge slug resting on one of my buds😠. I also see a trial where he was on some other sites near by. Surprisingly, I can't find any noticeable damage other than the buds he was on are full of slime. Will this harm the development of my buds in the future?

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?
I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?

Thrips or nutrient issues?
Northern lights showing after affects of thrip damage or is it nutrient lockout? I haven’t seen any thrips in the garden, but if thrips can I treat with azamax in the pre flower stage?
