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.

i've noted really small insects on my really small plant, (in the video you need to zoom to see them) and I wonder what they are and if they could damage the growth of the plant? thank you and I hope you solve it.

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? 😶

Still feel like she may be a tad short considering what days she’s on. Any experienced growers weigh in on whether she’s doing alright or not (since completely new to this and winging it)? Watering her every 3 days approx 200ish ml

Help identify pests
Need help identifying these bugs. I found them under rockwool cubes in the cloner They seem to like the moisture and were not bothering the vegetation at all. I even found them under a few cubes with no cuts in them. Is it possible that they are fungus nat larvae?

Smoked 'pillars
If I accidentally mull up and smoke a caterpillar that's been eating weed it's whole life, is that like eating the worm in the bottom of a tequila bottle?

I'm concerned for one of my Dark Devil seeds, it seems to be heavily stunted and I really don't know why🤔 the soil was all mixed together so it's a uniform batch. What should I do with it? I'm only asking because it's taking up a lot of space being in a 5 gallon pot.

How many weeks left? Auto
Is it too soon to flush it? It's on week 12 and I was supposed to harvest 3 weeks ago. This week the stigmas were getting brown so I flushed it. Is it premature? How many weeks do you think I have left? It's got spider mites problems but I'm fighting every day. Thank you! 😘

She’s already showing pistils and hasn’t started to really grow yet. Should I avoid topping? I’m afraid she won’t recover and I’ll hurt the potential yields.

Aphids found late in flowering
Looking closely at the week 11 photo, you can see aphids on one of the upper leaves. I removed all leaves that had them and gave the plant a light garlic concentrate to discourage further bugs. Should I just harvest now given that Im close to the end anyway? alternative ideas?

Should I be feeding my clones in veg? I keep them in solo cups for 1 month, afterwards transplanted to a 3 gallon pot. Soil is fertilized, so I don't think I should be feeding, but my clones seem small. Soil: Fox farm ocean forest
