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.

Probably some type of soil mite, wouldn't worry about it.

Could this be stunted growth I’m experiencing or could it be just how this plant grows? It’s a mystery strain that’s maybe Cherry OG

Natural insect repellant
More of a comment then a question. I’ve had a lot a luck using cedar sawdust as mulch for plants. I grow a lot of veg and other Plants and it works really well to repel insects. All natural and smells great in the Garden.

Insects !?!? Help please first guerilla grow
I've noticed some burn-like spots on my baby. It starts from the top leaves. I had some issues with insects already so the plants didn't have the easiest life so far. Is it the nutrients or I've got some uninvited guests ? Many thanks ladies and gents !

Bugs or no?
Do new cannabis leaves sometimes have defects or missing pieces? Mine seem to have a few missing spots and I’m wondering if it’s bugs or something to keep an eye on?

Hi, this is my first grow and I am trying to make it successfull. Unfortunately my plants are growing very slowly because I made a few mistakes in the first 3 and a half weeks. I think the crucial one was using CFL 250W Bloom light. Do you guys think I can save this grow?

Spiders in the outdoor garden, good or bad?
I was out in the garden tending to my ladies and came across a couple of spiders. I know spiders are supposed to eat other bugs, but that also involves a spider web. So, my question is should I leave the spiders alone? Or should I kill them as I find them, like other bugs?

White specs but not Thrips?
Seeing white specs on the leaves, but no signs of bugs at all. Really looks like thrips but have looked at both plants top to down on 10x and couldnt find any. Could this be something besides bugs??
