I was recently out watering my 3-4 week old plants and I noticed what looked to be an earwig bug get into one of my plants. I've removed it from the tent, but am asking will it harm the plant in anyway? Should I dispose of the plant completely? Or are they harmless to weed plants ?? Help!!

If it was an earwig, they certainly do eat plants. Should be okay if you removed it. What's your setup?

well for now I got a grow tent in my shed outside with lights and all that. Working on getting a few fans. So should I just throw the plant out completely? Or should I try to find the bitch in the soil?

I would keep an eye on it, not freak out and throw the plant away, with a thread title 'quick' you may be over reacting.

If you got it out, it shouldn't be an issue. If you want to check back, I'd do so when your lights are off, as they're nocturnal.

I actually wasn't able to get it out. My lights are off right now for another 4 hours tho. I was thinking about poking around with a pen but afraid to damage any roots

They don't really burrow. They hide under things. So, you shouldn't have to be digging very deep.
