Hello all. My first real grow. (New room test). Trying to dial the room in before I put tons of pots in here. I’m not using a quarter of the room. I watered with molasses two weeks ago. Never seen these little guys until after the feed. I’m also growing in fox farms frog soil. I also have a couple plants in coco, worm castings, Ect. Plants are 5 weeks from clone. 2 1/2 weeks since 12-12 light flip.. Are these going to be a problem? And how can I get rid of these things!!! Please see pics. Thanks in advance for your help..

Check picks of them with what you have there, pics are really not good.

Im 80% sure.

These can grow to great populations fastly. Smaller ones are not a problem for growth, but yougoing to have "meat" in your cannabis..... say, it's not going to be vegan anymore to smoke it ;). In the end this flys lay everywhere in the trics, because they are so stupid to land there, and then they die, at least the ydie totally stoned. One small step for a sciaridae, but endless steps to tweeze them dead bodies outta the bud again. When they get lots.... its sysiphus to tweeze them out...

Use yellow-lime-plates to catch them off before they lay eggs, that reduces their pop growing so fast. I use them everytime to just not give the first single one a chance... then it dont comes that far.... these are really stupid. They step on anything.... trichomes, lime-plates.... not the most intelligent beeing, just a pro at fucking around making children... :)

The larvae can eat roots but thats also problematic first when they explode in population.... so stop them early stage!
Usually these have it easy when your pots have holes, like airpots.... better are ceramique pots to give them less territory

One way to stop them is putting a layer of sand on top of the soil so they cannot lay eggs in the soil.

Neem does work to... but is notneccesary at early stage to stop them reproducing.

They come from the soil, they breed in the soil. The yellow-lime plates are excellent, they always land their looking for partner... when it catched some it seems to speed up, more and more land :) idiots, they think that lim is where the party is going on, but its a slow and boring starve to death trap... pretty evil.... you can blow slight air against them at the lime and see these flies live on there for some days slowly dehydrating! Damn its an evil trap :) God forgive, but they must leave, and if they're not willing, so i use force.

Bugs just add flavor and protein.

I dont know that for sure, their basic extra is chitin, im not sure if that tastes good in noticable amounts ... but sure, seeing is worse then smoking it unnoticed.... ignorance is a gift... all matters is you dont notice.... when you notice your smoking insect, fun and games are over for most people and they go :spew:Its not "delicate" to consume insects... except in parts of asia...!

I inhaled them too... i must confess.... and I knew it... no problem with my head, but some are very sensitive to such things :)

It radther go eat a scorpions or a freaking uncooked morphed graf dracula directly from the wet market of wuhan, before i let someone trick me for the left, but always get the right one!... But somehow it works.... these so called "restaurants" make profits like hell!

I dont think it's a restaurant... it's a feed-stop for retarded, haha.

THATS DISGUSTING FOOD! :mrgreen:
Every asian, literally every single one, agrees with me!

Thanks for all the help!! I truly appreciate it! I will try the sand and sticky paper. I’ll take better pics in the next hour. Thanks other than the bugs how do they look? I’m growing clones of grape drank and apple fritter.. the drank is a monster the fritter won’t stop popping bud sites.. I think it’s coming along pretty good. Lights are 18 inches from tops.

You have a walkway between your plants?.... i have there: more plants :mrgreen:... space is rare... coz the landlord say my rent is late, he may have to litigate.
Don't worry, be happy :weed:

whats the light intensity you grow?

This how they looked up close 28th, from the last pic.
bt28-2.jpg

Heres the same grow 3 weeks later at bt 49.... still 3 weeks to grow.... theres still lot more to come.... hairs starting sloowly turning in some orange, but only few...... still needs long, this looks amazing for me... im first trying out the 6-8% NIR-LEDs, thats the colored circles in the other pics, the position angle of them.

Here they are today:

And closer look with size comparison... bottle is 0,5l standard beer bottle :) Cheers

There was a little overfeeding with the PK-booster-compost tea once at week 4, but they nevermind it and grew steady.

It's too bad you haven't learned how to reply to someone yet, but your Big Mac diss is nonsense. No they aren't healthy, but every Big Mac I've ever gotten in my life looked like the one on the left. Where are you from, lol?

Mannnnnnn!!!! Your grow looks Amazing! I hope in can get my room full like that one day. I have a 10x10 room that I’m almost done with. I’m using two lights in the room now (BP 3000 & TSW 2000)Please see pics below. I just got an 8” in-line fan and filter the other day. I have 3 more lights that’s not even hanging yet! I don’t want to use them if I don’t have to. Realistically (hopefully) by run 3 I should be dialed in and room at 100%. I followed you. I hope it’s okay to keep in touch.
