Bugs, Pests & Viruses by Nebula Haze |
Summer is coming (forgive me southern hemisphere) ...and
unfortunately along with the lovely warm weather comes bug season. Even indoor growers may need to take extra precautions in summer because it can be surprisingly easy to accidentally track in some sort of garden pest to your grow room!
Today I'm going to introduce our newly updated pest guide with several new types of pests, plus quick reference pictures so you can easily find what
pest you're up against! Let us know what you think :)

Aphids live under leaves & have different forms depending on their stage of life
Barnacles / Scales
These bugs that look like barnacles and stick to the plant on stems and underneath leaves
Bud Rot or Mold
When bud rot strikes, certain buds may start looking sickly overnight, with leaves turning yellow and/or bud becoming discolored. When opened up the inside of the bud is dead or moldy. Fungus Gnats
Fungus
gnats look like tiny dark flies. They hang around soil that stays wet for long periods of time, and their worm-like larvae crawl around in the wet top soil. Plants start getting sick if a gnat infestation gets out of control.
Mealybugs
These tiny white bugs look "hairy" and are found crawling on leaves and buds
Root RotRoot rot is a common problem in hydroponic systems though overwatered plants in containers often display similar symptoms. Plants with root rot wilt and leaves may become discolored. In the reservoir the roots turn brown, smelly and slimy.
Slugs / Snails
Slugs and snails usually come out at night, leaving holes in leaves which have scalloped edges from their individual bite marks. They also leave slime trails on leaves and on the ground.
Spider Mites
Spider mites are often caught from another grow room, and their bites leave small white speckles all over your leaves. They're so small they can be hard to see, though the best place to look is underneath leaves. You may see webbing if there's enough of them living on the
plant.
Thrips
Thrips leave irregular bronze or silver marks that may look like "dried spit" or tiny snail trails. Their young look like fat, tiny worms.
Tobacco Mosaic Virus
It's not known whether mosaic virus has jumped from tobacco to cannabis plants, but in this article I'll share what I've learned so far...
White Powdery Mold
WPM leaves a white powdery substance that looks like flour or powder on leaves and stems
What's a good soil for growing outdoors? |
|
Do you live in the northern hemisphere and want to grow cannabis outside this year? If you haven't put your plants outside yet, time is running out!
Cannabis plants need enough time in summer to grow big enough to produce a decent yield by the time you harvest in the fall. That means if you want to grow
outside you need to get good soil and germinate your seeds right away!
When it comes to growing cannabis, there is no "best" soil, but there is one type of soil that everyone agrees is great.... super soil!
"Super soil" delivers
everything your cannabis plant needs, at exactly the right time, without needing to manage your pH or add extra nutrients!
With Super Soil you just water your plants and wait for harvest!

Did you miss the KIND XL1000 Grow Journal? |
We thought this grow journal we published last month was pretty amazing, considering the grower ended up yielding over a pound! I wanted to share it here just in case you missed it!

Thank you for being honest, straightforward, people. This is the only (and I am including some highly praised sites/forums) place (including many grow shops) where I can actually LEARN to grow better plants.

"My harvest. Seed vendor -Seedsman. Seed Dutch Passion -Ultimate Auto. Age 133 days from sprout. My first grow ever. I followed the DWC tutorial on GWE. I have my Mason jars and Bovida packs. Lots of trim for canabutter. Almost all popcorn buds went to the trim bag.
Again, thank you to everyone that assisted me along the the journey!"
