Hey all

Soon after I got rid of my PH problem a new one comes to the surface...
Today I found out that there are some tiny thin worms on mostly the
lower small leaves of my plants. I also found these worms on my clones
from where the pictures attached are coming from. I am trying to catch
them and I have placed about 10 of them in a jar together with a leave
to see how they will evolve in the days to come...

Does anyone recognize this worm? I could say that it looks like an inch
worm from the way it moves but its way smaller and it eats the leaves
sometimes leaving small lines behind (check pics)...

Will some neem spraying solve this problem??

ROFLhacks : The pattern of eating on the leaves indeed indicates that this is a leaf miner. I think
these pests come in various forms like worms, flies etc and in various sizes
http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05548.html. I might
start some treatment with neem oil , they say it works well with them...


D3monic : You can read more about neem oil here: https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/8962-how-use-neem-oil-without.html


I wish to see how they will evolve to but they don't seem to be very tough... I sprayed a bit with
water on the leaf in the jar and they died from moisture. Now I ve placed 2 more that I found and
instead of capping I just placed a paper towel on the top of the jar. Damn this is getting weird...
Cultivating worms and cannabis? What more will someone do for a good high???

BT will kill the inch worms..it will kill the miners too if it can get to em. Leafminers are protected by the leaf. PITA Prevention is best..I don't use systemics.
