@XiceX Definate get some Diatomaceous Earth and use it on the surface of the soil It will inhibit the thrips from being there.

Nothing will help out of folk methods. Before each new cycle, the box must be disinfected. And sterilize the soil at high temperatures. On vegetation, you can use a contact insecticide, not systemic, which is absorbed into the plant. Good luck!🤝

Sadly bugs are always a worry when using soil as a medium. A lot of pests hate hot peppers. Grind up some ghost peppers or scotch bonnets and make a shake. Give each plant a healthy dose. See if that helps..

Thrips or something else?Spots and traces on leaves like from insects. Checked with microscope, no larvae or nymphs visible, even on the underside of the leaves. Could this be non-insects related issue?

Bugs So, I found these little boogers on my girl, only two so far. I think they might be the cause for some of nibbling damage. I removed the horribly damaged leaves, I might have introduced too much of the flowering nuits at once, causing burn possibly.

Root Knot Nematode? Larvae? I think it killed this seedling.I found some type of critter crawling around what was left of the root of a dead seedling. I'd love to know what it is, and what to do with the other 2 plants in the tent. I pulled this one and removed the bucket from the tent. Video in diary. Extremely hard to see in still photo

Outdoor aphid removal suggestions?Looks like I may have aphids on this plant. Small holes nibbled through, spotted one tiny critter and knocked it off, and then sprayed 1/4 spirit vinegar + 3/4 water mixture on the underside of the leaves, hoping to be rid of the pests. Any further suggestions or thoughts? 😐
