Noticed some leaf damage so I investigated and some bugs flew off the plants. Got pics of most everything. Also looked at the damage and black dots under the scope. Dots looked like poop, white areas look like leaf damage. I also found a moth or two, or what I think are moths.

I'm not sure how to treat this stuff but its and organic grow so preferably no pesticides. There aren't very many of the bugs or the damage spots, they are hard to spot so maybe more than I think but it seems to be minimal so far.

Thanks!!

The deal here is to keep these bugs of of your grow and away from your grow space, the best way to do that is thru the use of Neem Oil,
to my blog: https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/neem-oil.27514/

also adding a little Neem to your water each watering allow the plant to absorb this organic neem and preventing bugs from sucking or eating the plant, best done from germing time

This is the first I've had a bug problem, prob cuz it's so damn hot here recently, my first summer grow, 4th grow total btw.

So you are saying spray and feed neem oil will get rid of the bugs? Or that is just a prevention? I'll def scoop some up and treat with it but is there something else I should do as well?

As mentioned above, Neem oil sprayed every day until bug free. Also, some yellow sticky pads designed for plant pests would be advisable. You can get both at a local garden center, or online, and also get a screen for your window. Peace

Update... Sprayed with Veganic Special sauce that night because I didn't have any neem and figured why not.

I got some neem the next day and was gonna treat today but I could not find any bugs and decided to hold off.

Fed them nutes today, gonna feed and spray a lil neem tomorrow or later in the week.

Those flies are a pain in the ass. I got a couple of the "hot shot no pest strips" in the tent with lights and fan off but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

I ordered some hot shot no pest strips, and still waiting to recieve them, some members on RIU highly recommend them, too bad if it doesn't help much. (I'm fighting spidermites, avids, and white flies all at once).
so far things looking under control.

fungus gnats don't do a whole lot of damage if you dont let them get out of control, keep with what you are doing and get a spray (i personally use 3 in 1 organicide) and use that with the mosquito dunks and i think you'll be fine

Malathion and Hot shot,...I just love 'em till my mentor got hold of me ...lol years go I had an issue with spider mites so use both of these,...and they work REALLY well, but the residue Will kill you, most growers smoke their diy buds, so avoid hot shot and organophosphate insecticide at all cost, but hey!!! its your body right!!! use Neem or even Bonners insect soap, and you shouldn't actually taste that metal tin foil taste in your mouth ...google for more ...lol


Malathion itself is of low toxicity; however, absorption or ingestion into the human body readily results in its metabolism to malaoxon, which is substantially more toxic.[16] In studies of the effects of long-term exposure to oral ingestion of malaoxon in rats, malaoxon has been shown to be 61 times more toxic than malathion.[16] It is cleared from the body quickly, in three to five days.[17] According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency there is currently no reliable information on adverse health effects of chronic exposure to malathion.[18] Acute exposure to extremely high levels of malathion will cause body-wide symptoms whose intensity will be dependent on the severity of exposure. Possible symptoms include skin and eye irritation, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, excessive sweating, seizures and even death. Most symptoms tend to resolve within several weeks. Malathion present in untreated water is converted to malaoxon during the chlorination phase of water treatment, so malathion should not be used in waters that may be used as a source for drinking water, or any upstream waters.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malathion
