I found some little insects that look like small silverfish but black in colour. When I touch them, they curl up into a little ball and look like a large MJ seed. I found one munching on a germinated seed that was trying to get to the surface.

With this in mind you can create and controled micro-ecology around you ladies. If there is a need for this inforrmation let me know. I just couldn't be fucked to write it down if it won't get used. 4204EVER

Whiteflies Homoptera: Aleyrodidae Identification • Adults are 1/16", white, actively flying insects. (a) • Nymphs are clear, oval, and up to 1/16" long. ( Damage • Nymphs and adults suck sap from the leaves causing reduced growth and stunting. • Whiteflies excrete honeydew that makes leaves sticky and may support sooty mold growth. • Whiteflies attack tomato, squash, and many other vegetables and flowers. Management • Yellow sticky traps will attract adults and can help keep numbers low. • Spray with insecticidal soap or other insecticides. Other Information • Eggs are usually laid at the top of the plant, but nymphs tend to be most common on the undersides…

There's no need to use any kind of chemicals to get rid of bugs in your plants or soil! For every little bug that can harm your plants there's other bugs that you can add to your grow and they will simply eat the bugs that harm your plants. I found excellent info on that subject on Hennepdesk This is a Dutch site but has an English language section that contains the same info.

Yeah my plants are about 2 months old, i recently just transplanted 2 of the 4. they were 2 in each pot, 10" pot. now they have one pot to them selves. two of them are in bad shape, they have yellow spots on the leaves, and the underleaves are shriveled up, there was a bit of curling on some of the leaves on one of the other plants, but now it has the same problem as the yellow spotted one...i got 2 dotty trees! the other 2 are looking better, 1 of them has a little yellow spotty, but hardly any to worry about i think, and the other plant is growing beautifully, nice big and bushy, the leaves the size of your palm.. if someone could help me... they have had quite a bit of…

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.

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 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…
