Us old farts don’t like change but we can adapt if necessary
I want a t-shirt with that on it! But it's got to be printed big enough to read without glasses.

so i found these guys running about the grow
not sure if i should go after these aggressively or not. have not run across them and trying to identify.
started a question in pest control, but am posting here as that forum has a tendency to be run over by the faq constantly.

Looks like a jumping spider, if it is he’s a good guy.

it does look like a hunter of some sort. musing about a flood flush with h202, but am pretty certain they'll be just under the perlite. on the fence about taking them out. plants really have no other bugs i can find, they might be why.
were in winter here, so they had to have been in the house.
edit: are jumping spiders really tiny ? these guys seem aggressive, but have not seen a jump yet lol.
They’re really small spiders, that may be why you don’t have bugs.

i'm thinking these are getting a pass for now. there are fruit flies in the area, but not gnats. might have been their original target.
not real in to killing something when the plants don't seem to hate them.
no evidence of webbing, so they would have to be tiny hunters.
I've got some pretty big jumping spiders by me, but either way doesn't that have to be an arachnid of some sort with 8 legs and no antenna?

hey 420 hope your day is well..
here's the day's hempys ..
i pulled the hotshot last night when i came home after work. checked this morning and found a few little spiders happy as clams. was worried the exposure would take them out. the smaller stuff is, the more deadly the hotshot is. the idea is to get at the mites, while not destroying the little arachnid buddies.
whatever those things are - they are damn efficient. i pulled a few leaves for close inspection, and while i think i saw eggs - they were far less developed than the last time i fought mites. and i only found a couple, with no clusters.
and not one live mite yet. i have a few suspect leaves i will pull in the coming days. checking mostly older ones. i don't wanna nude everything up right away - but the suspect signs haven't been advancing.
truthfully i want the little spiders to give 'er. they have a network of webbing under the pots, but it looks to be used more for travel, it's so fine you can barely see it until it catches some dust. am limiting the hotshot exposure for sure, so i don't take them out. unless i get a live sighting, at which point i may have to go with tougher measures.

oh yeah, i started twisting some of the branches around the pot to put them where i want them to flower. will post pics of the difference in a day or so.
Those spiders will help a lot, let’s hope they are reproducing.

they are every where once you look in the right places. and they move like jack shit. they don't give a crap about me at all either. just kinda wave and say hows it goin ?
wanna be careful with the hotshot. i like these guys. wish i could move a few across town to the flower room.
edit: really considering letting them have at it and leave the hotshot out. already decided against a iso spray as i know that'll take spiders out.
Those spiders are cold blooded assassins
Potential pests aside, plants are looking great!

hi guys ... here's a quick 420 evening hempy shot for anyone following this tombstone
ladies doing fine. i dropped the hostshot after a second 8hr run with it. the little spiders were everywhere and i didn't wanna take them out.
a couple days in and they kinda disappeared. bit of a bummer. i hope it's due to a lack of prey and not the hotshot. still watching the plants and can't find a live mite ...
i figure they had to be there and just were spider dinner. been pulling a few suspect leaves every once in a while, but still nothing. i'm kinda waiting to see if another gen emerges in a few days.
gonna take some better pics and update tomorrow.

They’re looking good, hoping your spiders laid eggs.
