Big bug in my hydroponic tank wilma
Italy_Grower
started grow question 2y ago
Yesterday afternoon I took my mobile phone and took a video inside the tank to see how the roots are, looking at the video carefully I discovered that there is a large insect but I can't understand what it! https://streamable.com/8504un

It looks like a crawling water beetle. Not that big of a deal IMO. You can try to vacuum him out.

Hello_Jeff
Mites appeared... 2 weeks left
I started noticing a few mites , which I mistook for orange fruit flies or something. Also there were 3-4 green ones but I could not find any kind of colony and thoroughly blew air through all the leaves. Should I take any more measures at this point of flower?

Is this Fungus Gnat Larvae?
Found these little suckers in the DWC roots, sprayed some 1:4 peroxide/water solution all around, and tried to flush the roots too. Now I'm letting the roots soak in just water & hydro guard for now (ran out of peroxide). Thoughts

How many watering should I do per plant? Not sure on frequency too. I think leaves show some symptoms of something (over/underwatering). Also, it is normal that one of them is stretched? And the one below that is undergrowth. Would like some help, thanks! 😸

When an auto still hasn't shown pre-flowers at week 5 or 6, does that mean the entire growth cycle will be longer - or will it simply have that much less time for flowering once it starts doing that?

Insects !?!? Help please first guerilla grow
I've noticed some burn-like spots on my baby. It starts from the top leaves. I had some issues with insects already so the plants didn't have the easiest life so far. Is it the nutrients or I've got some uninvited guests ? Many thanks ladies and gents !

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?

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?
