^ Don't use this shit at all, it specifically says do not use this product within anything of human consumption.

They seem to be held down by the sand but a few are afloat when I water.. They don't seem to be of a concern, I assume they are soil bugs from the buffalo compost I use (Buffaloam, good shit)

Your stem is thickening! Its just shedding because its growing, ride it out.. Like Baka said transplanting from soil > hydro can shock a plant, its a different medium

Very good pictures... cheers

Yup, it contains Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis heard 'gnat maxx' is pretty new, but any stuff with it would work pretty good as a bio agent, as long as its organic/made for non-toxic in the end hah! cheers

aphids..... kill them!!!!!!!!

It is like .1-.5mm long.. I really doubt it is baby cricket, I see no cricket eggs or adult crickets, no pest plant damage on my plants. Literally do look like 'small white lice' from a semi distance It is the middle of winter here.. 0 below, so not very many pest problems to worry at all.... i...

They show up only when I water and they stay in the soil and do not crawl up the pot edges or the stem of the plant it seems, so they are not harming the plant at all, I assume they are just feeding on the dead organic materials in the soil, which is okay.. I'm thinking I should just put sand on...

ITS A SMALL ass bug! I don't have super pro 100x scope camera to get the sexy ridges of the bug, sorry :P 6 legs with atennas.. It seems to just crawl, but idk maybe in a blink it hops which would scream springtails!!! haha here is some more pics

I think it is a beneficial insect.. it is very small, is clear-white, the picture was taking with a 3.15 MP x4 zoom camera with a 20x scope, the insect is small.. smaller than a grain of rice as big as this period . Just want to know exactly, I can't nail it on a springtail but ugh, any...

Day 47 Veggin' Been awhile since I've updated just been waiting! I transplanted plant 2 recently a week ago into its new pot to see how it goes, and it has been growing beastly, I have kept plant 1 in the mean time in the smaller pot to see how it fairs, it is still growing but I am going to...

You got a few pictures to compare? Sometimes I can't even tell after a few days, get all worried and then wait its all normal lol. I'd say to double check the temps to check for sure. 90 seems crazy high, but I think they stop really growing past 95F, not so sure why yours are not growing, maybe...

dang! How close was it? I've literally gotten mine about half an inch before with some airflow though, how hot is it in there? Is it going to be okay?

Woot, got my 150w HPS light today, 6" from top of plant! Now figuring out where to place some more CFLs on the side, gotta jimmy rig up some more kleenex lights lol! :leaf:

Yea! I am afraid of the light burn too, but I think it is pretty much 'impossible' for CFL's to burn unless they are touching. I might of had mine a bit too close once and the leaves felt dry/crispy almost, not exactly what distance to keep 23w's at, I have them at 3-6 inches~
