Here's hoping that all the outdoor growers had a good harvest this season. Gotta question though. My plant pushed out a second set of pistils just as I was getting ready to harvest it. I decided to wait until the second set matured. Should I have harvested before the second set appeared? As an aside, I recently read that a second set of pistils is due to a hybrid's different phenotypes maturing at different times. Anybody ever heard anything like that. Sounds plausible.
You can post your guitar building/woodworking over in my journal any time you like @Weedweasle. I like the diversity and you make beautiful guitars my friend.

What’s up no till growers? I haven’t been on in a while been busy. I just recently noticed these new bugs in my pots and I’m having a hard time identifying can anyone help please
It's hard to tell for sure from that picture. But, root aphids have 6 legs and kind of look like that. How is your plant doing and are they only in the soil?
I just started a new run they’re only 3-4” tall they seem to be doing good so far. I noticed when I top water they move to the side of the pots.
Looks like a springtail nymph. Abdomen is a bit long for most varieties of root aphid... Springtails Poke at them with a finger when they collect on the side of the pot after watering. If they're springtails, they should "jump", rather than scurry away.
Yeah, I thought it looked a bit long. Easy to know if their spring tails. Do they jump or spring from place to place if disturbed?
That’s exactly what they look like. Is there a good remedy. Is their a good predator mite to kill them
From the link I provided... Quick facts Springtails are found in areas of high moisture and in organic debris. They are nuisances and do not damage food, clothes, furniture or property. Springtails do not bite or sting and are harmless to people. They feed on decaying roots and fungi and rarely damage plants. Moisture control is the most effective option for controlling springtails.
Sorry didn’t realize it was a link never had these before. Only thing I did different this time was my mulch was a lot thicker. I’ll take some out should be ok then. Thanks Waktoo
I'd argue you don't need to do anything with them, to be honest Springtails are a sign of biodiversity. They won't harm your plants, but will help decompose organic material in your soil. I view them as a "good" bug.
