White "wormlike" bugs in soil
Galarihnostarted grow question 2y ago
Its almost harvest time and I have found another problem.
I have small white bugs or worms in coco soil.
They look just like "fungus gnats". They are small, white and they are digging and moving like worms.
Please help, much appreciate!

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?4y ago

Black fliesPlease help. From start of grow i noticed black flies in tent. I think after research they are fungal flies. I have sprayed plants/soil with diluted neem oil and did a neem oil flush but still the odd one appears. Any ideas what else I can do? ThanksWeek 1

Spider Mite ProblemSpider Mite Problem at week 8.
I just realized this problem, a severe spider mite infestation on one plant. I defoliated the plant to get rid of most of them as I thought I can get away with this until the end of the flowering. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!Other. Bugs

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.Week 2

Spider mites?My partner just cut some clones off of a pre-flowering plant & put them in a root rain spray cloned. Been 2 days since he cut the clones. No roots yet but he’s wondering if he has spider mites & if so what he should do. Do you all notice anything wrong?Leaves. White powder

2 part, first I found a few black dots (picture added to this week) which I thought might be pests but didn't move - research says it could be catapiller droppings but can't find any of those - what else could they be? Second I did find a spider chilling assume he's good?Week 13
