I’ve grown outdoor 3 summers in a row now and I’ve never seen or had these fly looking things before. Help?!

I did some trimming today. Zero issues on the sister plant that hasn’t been touched with trimmers or LST methods but this one started having holes in leaves when I started LST. There have been a few gnats flying around the light so I killed them and started keeping the tent zipped closed. She is...

Hi, new grower here. About 3 days ago I noticed some small holes on the lower leaves of my plant. After doing some research I decided it must be pests, although I haven't seen any. I've treated it twice since then and the only thing that's changed is large amounts of brown spots all over my...

This is my first time ever attempting to grow and I have just one outdoor plant that is 7 weeks into flowering. Yesterday, I noticed silky threads going between some of my leaves and my heart sank as I'm aware of the scourge that is the spider mite. However, after checking the bottoms of my...

Hi guys, these are my two girls I've been vegging outside from seed since April. Thinking of putting them inside to flower them out. Any advice on what i can do about bugs? I know going outside to in is usually a big no no due to pests and pathogens. They are very heathy plants and have no...

What are other S.I.P.S. enthusiasts doing for their integrated pest management? I'd like to hear organic and chemical methods. Just say organic or chemical at the beging of your post. Also specify what country you are in as different rules govern availability of certain products. Let's make...

What's up people! I am about 10 days into flowering with a Barney Farm LSD. My previous plant that was right next to it was an auto. This auto during the drying phase ended up having a TON of caterpillars. I ended up tossing the batch. I took no preventive measures and didn't see ANY signs of...
