What kind of bug is that? I had seen them around before I started growing and they hardly move.

Its a stink bug or a stem beetle, Is it eating your plant or other bugs?

I think that's a stink bug:

You probably want to get rid of them as soon as possible, they're big pests and you don't want them spraying that rancid almond smell all over your beautiful buds.

I have tried to get rid of them but they keep coming back, I don't know where they are coming from.

find the area they are most common in the garden and use sticky traps. I may be wrong but I don't think they fly so look for cracks or gaps closer to the floor. Always a good idea to put a screen over your air intake as well.

Thats some kind of stink bug beatle. I dont think they harm plants though, not sure. pyrethrin spray like fox farm "dont bug me" might work with minimal effect on your plants, organic breaks back down but is a poison! made from Crysanthemum Bulbs. Where are you?
