They are not a direct threat to your cannabis plants. Me personally i don’t want millipedes or any bugs or pests in my indoor garden.

Centipedes are these things that run really fast. You can hear them moving their little legs if it's quiet enough. They are creepy and gross af.

Our centipedes look a bit different but equally creepy.
Check they pincers!
It goes without saying no one wants any bugs around... The obvious aside there's worse than centipedes to have around, any unwanted guests will be dealt with swiftly they actively hunt bugs to eat and they're athletic af lol.

“House centipedes are insectivores that primarily eat insects like cockroaches, flies, moths, and crickets. While humans don't think of centipedes as hunters, that description seems to fit these quick and insectivorous insects perfectly.” Dec 30, 2021
