Hey all I posted a little while ago about my baby's and you were asking me to put up pics the bugs have gotten much worse I sprayed them down with spinosad and the room and its been about a week later the infestation is much worse I see little black bugs crawling on my 5 gallon buckets and inside on the surface and all around I sprayed plants down during lights off and a hour or 2 later rinsed them off there is no sign this stuff worked I could get a good picture of the bugs but they are black legs kinda remind me the way mosquitoes are I see few smaller bugs flying around I also have anoyher plant with splotchy bleach like spots them can you guys please help they are destroying my crop and I don't know what to do next I tried a homade soap mixture everything just got worse there's so much damage the first pic is of the bleachy looking spots unrelated to the bugs I believe and the leaves are scriveking up I water them every other day so I down drown them

You could have fungus gnats or aphids spinosad won't work for those. I won't know for sure unless I see a picture of the bug. I wouldn't worry about those spots its probably moisture pooling up on the leaves during the dark cycle a fan at night might help that. It doesn't look like bug damage.

That's mild nutrient burn. I get that all the time. With some strains they are delicate while others such as Black Destroyer you can nearly use undiluted nutes. Empty the base trays and flush with clean water 3-4 times over a couple of days so that the roots are sufficiently "cleaned" in your opinion. It should clear up quickly. If you have used a dried coir as a medium I think the bugs hatch from it but don't damage your grow. It's not mites or aphids I don't think

It not bugs, its nutrient issues. My recommendation also be to fill it with more dirt, an inch from the top of the buckets. Then check the ph levels of your water. you'd be surprised how just ph'ing your water to a good 6.0/6.5 will do for the plant. Also if those plants are outside in the heat you should be watering everyday, watering once a day at a proper ph will really help the plant. And feed 2 times a week at least. I have 7 ft plants outside i water twice a day with 3 to 4 gallons of water to each plant each watering and feed them home brewed chicken shit tea every other day. thats how you get quality weight. gl with your plants
