Well it turns out i have a tiny white bug, i am not sure if it flies but i can see it jumping from a plant to another. No visible damage to the plants yet, in one plant i saw a black dot on a leaf and 2 or 3 little holes on some other leafs. I can't post pics right now cause they are sleeping. Any guess quys? I'll post pics tommorow. I have 4 plants in organic soil, led lights, in a closet, it's my second grow, i didn't have this kind of problem in my first grow so i don't really know what to do. I am taking a guess that is white flies or thrips but can't tell for sure.I am also 1 week in 12/12.

More than likely you had white aphids, and yes Neem Oil will help and I've used it for mites with great results but, aphids don't bite past or into the phloem((In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients (known as photosynthate), in particular, sucrose, a sugar, to all parts of the plant where needed)) I have used the "Garden Safe" brand insecticide from wally world with good results...read directions and follow them...good luck next time as I see you found it was male...AND...A word to the wise, before you take anyones advice, you may want to check around to see if it's actually the best course of action...BECAUSE...I see that vostok sent you to his blog where it said to spray you girls with Neem...well that's fine in veg BUT NEVER IN FLOWER...you are actually supposed to spray like twice as you mix a tablespoon of that neem with a gallon of water add a tablespoon of Dawn dish washing liquid (the original blue stuff) for an emulsifier (mixes oil and water) and WATER DO NOT SPRAY every week until bugs are gone...it works from the inside of the plant to make it healthy enough to fight the bugs and disease by itself and there's no nasty after taste from spraying...good luck in your endeavor buddy...

Hey Riknstein, thnx for your reply.I learned not to TRUST these ppl in my First grow, at least not if i didn't double check their answers, as far as it concerns this grow one plant down, 3 more that currently are thriving, 2 fems and 1 fem bagseed mainlined + a little experiment with 3 bagseeds in the same pot (these are 12/12 from seed), little or no damage to the rest.I triple checked this morning all my plants and didn't saw anything weird, i hope it stays that way till the end.

One of my plants is a little droopy today with no particular reason, i fed her 3 days ago with 1ml/l biogrow ,1ml/l biobloom and a pinch of epsom salts and was ok.. Do you think it's from the bugs? Haven't ordered anything yet but maybe is time?

Neem tastes like fucking shit.... Use Azamax instead...

Using Azamax to kill spider mites on cannabis plants is the best method for indoor marijuana growers to keep their grow room pest free. Azamax does not harm the marijuana plant or the buds, and still works great at getting rid of mites, thrips, pests etc..


Azamax for Marijuana Plant Growing
AzaMax is a highly effective pest control method designed to decimate pest and spider mite populations in cannabis gardens and marijuana grow rooms. It is made from completely organic active ingredients, specifically one, potent, bio-compound found in Neem oil, which will not harm the buds or plants. AzaMax contains Azadirachtin A&B and more than 100 limonoids.


Chemicals in Azamax to kill spider mites


Azamax does not use hard chemical solvents and only uses food grade formulation ingredients. AzaMax is the only smell-free product and does not freeze during cold weather. AzaMax does not require any surfactants or sticking agents. AzaMax is so safe and free of residue it can be applied on the day of harvest. AzaMax targets spidermites, thrips, fungus gnats, aphids, whiteflies and many other airborne and soil borne pests present in indoor marijuana grow rooms. AzaMax is an antifeedant and insect growth regulator and it controls pests through starvation and growth disruption. It also is a good systemic product that plants can easily uptake through roots for efficient control of sucking, mining and leaf eating pests, a rare feature among biological or biochemical pesticides.

i've personally used this stuff 2 weeks before harvest, it works frickin great. It does make the smoke a little harsher than it would normally be, but nothing like what neem does.

So you think maybe the bloom food? She looked a lot better 2 days ago i tell ya... So what now? Next feeding was thinking only water or a weak grow solution to fix this yellow thing.

That Sucks! Ok... If you use neem use a very small amount, the tiniest amount will kill bugs, it's like cyanide to them. Use a mix of neem and molasses, it will hde the taste of the neem a bit.....


use use it when you water your plants mix it right in.. The plant absorbs it, if the bugs eat the plant or burrow into it, the die... Instantly.


also this stuff is good for beneficial bugs like lady bugs and spiders, because they don't burrow into thelant to eat..

What I do.....

i wait to see preflowers... Keep feeding veggie... Once I see pre's, I put it in 12/12... Keep feeding veggie... Once I see hairs coming out, I switch to transition to bloom.

if I try to flower before pre's come out, it will extend the flowering time stressing the plant by trying to force it.

The thing about neem oil that many people dont know.is it needs to be mixed very well in order for it to work to its full potential. .use a lil bit of dish soap and some neem use a drill and a paint mixer and mix that shit for 20 min non stop in a 5 gallon bucket an old man with a marijuana dispensory and a 45 on his hip told me this...and i believe it he explained it to me but i was high at the time so ill try my best .....oil and water will not mix the soap acts as a temporary binder with enough agitation , theamount of neem to water is so much less that to make the oil break up enough to combine with the water as one you need a shitload of mixing.. but anyway can you do me a favor and pull your plant out of the pot to see if you have any root aphids. .u may need to water with the neem if you have bugs in your soil...sorry if most of this made no sense its late!
