Cannabis Troubleshooting

My plants (outdoor) are about 6 weeks old and ever since they were fairly new there's been these little white flying insects on them. They don't appear to be damaging the plants as such, they're all really bushy and healthy. As the plants have grown, more of these bugs have appeared. They're only about 3mm in length and fly. If I brush my hand through the plant or water the leaves, they scatter everywhere. I want to get this under control before it becomes ridiculous when they're maturing. Thanks.

Hey fellas, i'm a n00b n i got 4 lil seedlings (popped up yesterday) and they were white with green ends and the seed attached. but now the white bit on 2 is going a bit brown. i had two 9watt fluros about 8 cm from them n i moved the lights to like 15cm above. stressing out.. Anyone know whats going on. is this normal?! are my babies dying on me?! am i over/under watering?! Pete

I have read about people using a garlic/habanero pepper concoction to ward off pests. I realise that this will be a very short term solution which will require frequent applications but I'm only growing a few plants outdoors in pots so that doesn't pose a problem. I am yet to find a recipe for brewing this stinky spicy spray and was wondering if anyone has experimented or is aware of a recipe for a spray like this. I am looking to use organic methods to keep the bugs at bay because I want to produce pure unadulterated weed. I've had problems with whiteflie and other pests on my veggies in the past and I'll be damned if I'll let the little buggers eat away my prize you…

I planted some Bigbud seeds and the ones that never sprouted seemed to have a green powder on them when I dug them up after a few weeks. I read somewhere that you can soak seeds in water with chlorine added that will help kill any disease that the seeds might have,....anyone heard of this ? Buddy.

I just put some newly sprouted seedlings under plastic the other day. To my horror I returned to them and half of them were missing their heads. Have I had insect problems, or do you reckon some prick has seen them and decided to half my grow? I can't imagine that they were found, so my suspicion is on the bugs. It couldn't have been birds because they wouldn't have been able to get in. What should I do to stop it happening again?

The leaves on one of my plants are curling up slightly. What could this be from?

G'day I've got a problem with 1 of me plants .

I was looking up the old 420 Australia, see if any good old postings may be worthwhile adding to this new forum. I found my Soapy Tobacco Mix that was in the old forum, it worked for some bug problems, so I have added here: Soapy Tobacco Mix: * Get a small packet of the cheapest rollies tobacco you can find, like "Winfeild" or whatever the cheapest, or if you have contact get some of that "chop chop" blackmarket tax-free backyard grown tobacco, you only need about 30grams, or use whole packet cheap smokes like "Holiday's" or "Horzion's" (either 30's or 50's) - throw away the papers/filters. * Get about 1.5 litres of boiling hot water, and get some soap from bottom o…

Fungus gnats* are tiny black flies frequently numerous in greenhouses and around certain house plants. Often called manure flies or mushroom flies, none of the adults feed on or damage plants. The larvae primarily feed on fungi and organic matter in the soil. Sometimes these maggots also feed on the roots of flower crops, notably poinsettias, geraniums, lilies, and chrysanthemums. Adults of some "shore flies" (Diptera: Ephydridae), which also breed in moist places, including the greenhouse, are similar to fungus gnats but do not harm plants and so not require control. Plant Damage: The maggots may feed on roots of many plants by chewing or stripping the roots. Severely…

Viral threats Viruses are a threat that many growers remain unaware of. They are usually spread by insect feeding, amd can wreak devastation in a clone garden. Viruses often sit latent until ideal conditions present themselves, at which point they can produce symptoms ranging from slight streaking to induced nutrient deficiency or full plant collapse. In Australia the main vector of viruses are thrips. If your mother plants have ever had thrips problems in the past they will likely to be carrying a virus which will be passed down to any clonal generation. Thrips will usually be found hiding in the growing tip of the…
