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.

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?

Any tips for watering during the seedling stage right after germination? I keep either overwatering or underwatering. I'm scared to start in a solo cup as I'm doing mainly Autos and they might stunt the growth when transplanting. Grateful for as many details as possible.

What are these bugs and what to do about them?
Hi, I spotted these on one of my balcony plants today. Somekind of mites? They were around the sugar to middle sized leaves on new growth. It's around early to mid flower. I removed the leaves that had the most on them and tried to get rid of those who were left. What else to do?

Need input on the growth so far. My node/internode spacing is very tight which has resulted in short and bushy/dense plants. I understand there are several contributing factors to this but how does it impact yield? What to do if my spacing too tight? Should I even be concerned?

Ok, I'm sorry for kill all the spiders that were infesting my plant. I thought their bites do damage because earlier in the grow my leaves had white spots on them and I figured that was the cause. I'll leave this bugger alone ♥️
