Experimentgreenanswered grow question 7y ago

Bt insecticide is targeted at the budworms not many other bugs. They're less active in the evening, so you can examine each bud for holes and dig them out and salvage what you can. Also plants who experience harsh winters are less likely to have the bugs survive into next season, you could maybe put buds into the fridge or freezer briefly to kill them. Also, I'm sure you already know, but just in case, make sure to full sanitize your grow space, or bug spray your outdoor garden and indoor plants in case they have piggybacked on to other places. Best of luck.

What are these bugs? (See the videos, last 2 entries in this week "7") I killed them with gnatrol WDG (bacillus thuringiensis, subsp. israelensis) They are white and small, long-bodied, with 2 antennae. Fast moving.

2 plants in a 6.5L pot, is it crazy ?I noticed half of the space was used by the roots in the pots last session. Since I have schedule issues, I was thinking about putting 2 plants in one 6.5L pot in order to have a 12 plants sog and use F1 seeds (90x40 cm tent), with a scrog and lst (and fim ?). Is that a bad idea?

I have recently noticed some small insects which I am having trouble identifying. No real noticeable damage, but any critter on my weed must be identified. Anyone have experience with this insect? Any links which would confirm identification would be great. Pic on week 18

What are some good preventative measures besides the obvious (being clean, no outside stuff inside etc) to keep pests at bay? I have yet to deal with bugs but I'd love to know a method of prevention that's close to fool proof. I dont want them :)

SoG first time, 6x Quick One Autoflowering This SoG setup could work? I've choose 5L Air-Pots and I can place 6 of them inside the 60x60x140 tent, still not sure about applying defoliation but I'm guessing that will be necessary. First time SoG, I've always grown pairs of photoperiodic plants in the same tent.

I'm trying to build a manifold in this grow because why not make something you know little about more complicated. However, I would like to know if I should stick to just 8 colas or push for 16?
