  1. So as the title suggests I found a bug on one of my new growth shoots :'( can someone please help me identify this little critter should I smash him into oblivion or let him live on ? And if there is one so you think there will be more ? If so what measure can be taken to eliminate them ! I have one spider living in my tent who I'm sure is helping Haha! Here's as good of a photo as I could get! 20190618_140114.jpg

  3. usually 8 legs good bugs eat other bugs . . 6 legs bad bug. eat your plants or you . cant always go by the legs but in this situation this bug will eat the shit out of the plant
     
  4. So kill them ? Would.you agree that it looks like an aphid ? I've only seen one but I'm sure theres more lurking around. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them ? I know I can research it but figured I'd ask here , after all that's what forums are for :) thanks

    You be the judge!
    aphid - Google Search
    Honestly, I don't think I ever heard aphid in the singular.
    Neem oil or soapy water; the usual... they're nasty.

  6. "A" bug? OMG you need to trash this grow and start over...there is no telling the destruction it will cause. You may need to move and for the safety of others, burn the house down when you leave.
    or
    you could squish it and be on the lookout for number 2.

    Yeah like I said tooslow I think it does look like a green aphid, I already looked Into it a bit... but figured I'd ask on here and gather some opinions and people's personal experience, I kind of thought that was the point of a forum.
     
  8. looks like an aphid. Insecticidal soap spray or you could try an h2o2 spray if your in flower.

  10. Hey Jazzysnak420, welcome to Grasscity!

    What bryan connor said: six legs bad, eight legs good. Eight legs=spiders. Spiders eat bugs, not plants. :)

    Use neem oil mixed with soap and water and spray your vegging plants with it. It tastes nasty, so you definitely don't want to spray it on flowers, but it's probably the number one defense in integrated pest management for marijuana plants. It works against pests by coating the plant in wax that bugs can't penetrate.
