translucent pest in soil
AlpAge_Cinostarted grow question 2 months 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

I can not make anything out from the image, it almost looks like a baby translucent/ghost root.
could be a number of things from springtails to gnat larva or something else, Need better pics of the create in question.
Gnats are annoying but not normally detrimental to plants unless they overrun the site and get stuck in sticky buds.
springtails are good to the soil and feed it by eating dead matter they also don't come up into the leaves or buds.
Try to get better pics and go from there to identify what they are.
Good Luck!

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.

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

So I am currently week 5-6 with Crocketts Confidential. I have not been seeing a lot of upward growth, but mostly just bushyness. The plants themselves look happy and healthy to my eye. Any recommendations to get these girls growing upwards?Week 5

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!Week 1

I am located in Ontario and the weather is getting to 10-15 Celcius at night. Should I be concerned? How can I help prevent mildew and slowed bud growth due to colder temperatures? Pot has to stay where it is, cannot move. Few weeks till harvest, trying to ensure max yeild!Week 17

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?Week 4

My plant is short and wide and the center is pretty crowded with leaves but they are all starting to produce trichomes. Is it an issue to have leaves touching each other in this state or do I have to remove some? I don't really want to mess with her in this stage.Week 8

Attempting to grow a landrace strain from seeds I brought back from West Africa in 2017 (Togo/Nigeria). Probably grew in the wild given buds were full of seeds. Growth has been slow so far. Switched to 13/11 recently. At week 5, wonder if leaves will ever get bigger.Week 4

As I mentioned above, I will need to harvest around the end of week 13 with just shy of 8 weeks of flowering. Just from seeing how the buds have developed so far, how much will the quality/quantity of the final product suffer from harvesting that early?Week 10
