[joedaddy805]

plus ill have enough bud to last me a good long time

 

[SmokerJoe]

Yeah you're the lucky one. While I am having a hard time even offering money to get some. One thing about cannabis smokers they tend to be highly unreliable even when they say they got you they really dont until its in your hand.

 

[SmokerJoe]

Hello everyone. Just took pictures when I flipped the lights on. Will upload momentarily. The second seedling of the 5 broke soil overnight. As always let me know if you can see a big difference from the last pictures to these ones.

They're fast growers indeed

Thanks for your invitation SmokerJoes, I am in

So I seen those bugs again. There were 3 of them on the newest sprout that popped up overnight. They are the size of a flea white , although in the light looked silver and they can jump which I havent witnessed before. On 1 of the phulbani 2 of the leaves have developed orange spots so I Figured it was from these guys. Im buying predatory nematodes asap.Thats what killed them last time.

Only pest that I know of that jumps is a thrip. Do they look like these?

Good thing you've found a way to get rid of them.

 

[SmokerJoe]

I didnt know thrips jumped. Ive seen videos of thrips before though. I though thrips are slow movers. Im gonna spend some time poring water agitatig the soils so they come out then try to hurry focus the camera on the magnifying glass and snapping a picture. So thats gonna be my day.

 

[daTenshi]

have fun

This is kinda what they look like but im not certain because they arent this big.

 

[SmokerJoe]

The comments section says they are a variation of springtails. So im gonna neem them bastards although it says they survive on fungi so I dont know should I leave them be? Ugh when I see bugs my instincts are to end them.

I say kill em. They gotta be eatting something and it shouldn't be your plants.

your new grow times seem to be having good results? You happy so far?

 

[SmokerJoe]

I came to the conclusion after few hours of research that they are springtails. They are beneficial bugs that eat fungus and Ive read fox farm ocean forest is usually infested with these. Ive seen springtails a grow or 2 back in the runoff from a bucket and they seemed bigger then these bugs I have now. Also the bugs I have now dont have that tail in the back that I can see where as I saw it the last grow. These bugs are absolutly dimunitive. Id say 4 or 5 would equal 1 grain of rice. Someone confirm please by my description. Also springtails carry beneficial mycohizael to the root zone

 

[MaPilot]

I have FFOF too, I have seen them, ignored them and don't see them anymore. They either died or got bored cause I didn't want to play and went away. No issues here with them.

 

[daTenshi]

Only present I always get in my peat moss are gnat larvae. I seen them move around quite a bit in the runoff. Never had springtails, so I don't know what to say but if they don't do harm then don't bother with them. There are bugs everywhere

 

[SmokerJoe]

I know but my gf is flipping out. She is like oh my god we need to call the landlord to have them come spray the building. Im like chick let me find out what the hell they are before you go get us busted over some dumb shit. Shes like but our daughter crawls around on the floor. So I said yeah and have you ever seen anything out of the buckets? Thats where they stay. I havent even seen them try to climb the bucket. Ugh dumb lady trying to rat on ourselves yeah that makes sense. All because a youtube video a girl said they were mites. sigh

 

[daTenshi]

Would imagine the phone call: Lady you're infecting my cannabis plants!!! Better then the guy here who called the police saying he has a grow room filled with plants, because he was having a bad trip, and told them he wants to be arrested because god said he should The police never arrested or charged him because he denounced himself, apparently they don't if you do that lol.

 

[SmokerJoe]

Denounced himself? What was he tripping on bath salts?

MaPilot what did yours look like? Were they as small as I described? Did you see their tails? These ones are to small for me to see any tail and this magnifying loupe is pissing me off. It has a led light and when I bought it of course the light was broken. I was so excited to get it I threw the box away. Now I save boxes for everything. Im so sick of wasting money. Thats why I am going back and forth on which led lights I want next.
