pests

Hello everyone got a question about gnats and dwc systems. Long story short my wife has a compost bin and uses organic dirt. Well we ended up having gnats from them either fungus or soil not to sure. I have a grow tent in another room with a 6 inch fan and scrubber. I placed a pail with water...

This year the Spider Mites have been a nightmare for and other growers. I have been lurking the forum for awhile trying this and that. Nothing worked until now. I am wondering from some of the growers out there experiences and remedies. Out west has been unseasonably hot for October and...

Hi there community! Newbie here, just harvested my first buds, and they came out great!!... However, the next day I started to notice what I eventually found out were mealybugs. So my question is how can I get rid of them now that I got´em hanging? I´ve harvested and have them drying. I´ve read...

Killed 3 and caught this bastard hopping around from plant to plant. White fly? Never had this one before so please help if you can. Thanx

This started on one leaf on one plant a long time ago 6 months or so and it is now on every plant I have. They all seem healthy outside of this which is obviously a problem. I have done a lot of research before posting and this has got me to believe that it is tobacco mosaic virus or some kind...

This is 7weeks from breaking ground... they growd slowly first weeks but then took off... i was feeding with tap water of 280ppm and slowly building with nutes truying to give them what they needed without burning them and they reacted well... last five feedings i used R/O water and was giving...

I did a little test on some in the ground plants the other day, to see if I could do with some additional N. New beds using native soil and amendments, I just wasn't sure. Days later, on the plants I fed a little extra N to, I found pests had moved in. Apparently, they're fans of new, and...

I swear i saw a couple of them fist bumping and humping my roots. I've been growing in promix bx (although the clone was rooted in to ffof party cup then into a promix 3.5 gallon mopping pail) with a little perlite and vermiculite mixed in. They are on a blumat drip system which is running...

I have these red crawling bitches everywhere in my grow room. Room is in basement, a few weeks into veg, using soil. The soil was a mix of some walmart stuff with happy frog. I thought they were spider mites, but no webbing or other plant problems from them. The bugs also crawl fast. I did some...

Hey guys! So I have recently started to notice some brown spots on the leaves of a young plant. The first thing that came to mind was that this was a nutrient deficiency/burn but, I knew this couldn't be the case as I have phed the water and checked the run-off and all is good. On closer...

so I just noticed I had spider mites last week I'm 45 days into flower. I think they came from moving my wife's plants from outside into the tent over the winter. I now realize this was a really bad idea (first grow). Any way I have treated with a homemade Rosemary oil spray and mighty wash. I...

Do you guys think she'll make it? Had a bug problem but i spayed some need oil on em already they have seem to go away. But still worried about them any help?

Hey all, I have been experiencing problems with bugs such as hungry hungry Caterpillars. They have been reeking havoc :/. I don't want to use chemicals so if you could, tell me what you do to keep bugs away please. I was thinking making a barrier of cayenne pepper flakes on the base of the young...

Here's a video of a beneficial nematode I made. Many people use them, but don't actually ever get to see them. They are great for keeping fungus gnats down. Although they can be flushed from your pots if you get much run off. In a notill system they are a good addition because typically you...

Hi all. So im on my second grow, my first grow i had thrip. Which i sorted by using crop guard laminaid th. Now however i have discovered spider mites. so the question: Is cinnamon oil effective? I have read around that it works. if so i will buy this as it will be far cheaper than anything...

Fricking BUGS, especially spider mites, white flies and whatever other type of aphids! There are two things I use, and I tell you why and especially HOW you need to use them for the best effect. There is no reason to buy hundreds of $$$ on insecticides since those two products can handle almost...

so I inherited a beautiful garden that has 1) constant super white fly infestation and 2) consistent aphid outbreak that cannot be eliminated just suppressed. It's a: -perpetual indoor grow with a veg room and a flower room. -have used Monterey, dr.doom no success -recently implemented...

Dear friends, Now i've hear Springtails are beneficial to the soil and don't cause much harm to the plants however Root Aphids have the opposite approach!:wall: I've come across what seems to be Root Aphids and was wondering how i can get rid of them so they can stop eating at the plants...

Hey guys, So tonight I noticed this issue on some of my plants. It looks like little spots. Not holes, just odd spots, and not brown spots either. They do seem to dip down a bit into the leaves, though. It doesn't really look like mites to me, and seems much to small of spots to be a bigger...

Does anyone have any recommendations for sterilized soil used in indoor cultivation? I want to know the highest quality sterilized soil you can think of, and any recommendations on altering the PH of the sterilized soil. I'm also interested in introducing non-synthetically derived helpful...
