  1. Caught these early I hope.. Theres nothing on any other plants just on 2 lower leaves of my young purple punch auto..

    I can’t make a definite decision as to what they are before I start researching best way to get rid of em so any advice would be great

  3. Can't tell what it is without a closer pic of the bugs. You could use an insecticidal soap. It's good for both mites and thrips.

  5. Blasted them with soap/water mix yesterday.. left to dry.. blasted again.. then sprayed/drenched with plain water... had a look 24 hours after... still little white worm type bugs (thrips?) marching around :frown:

    stuck some fly paper on top of soil and nothings been caught on that..

  6. I heard Neem oil works great for a variety of bugs so I spray my plants with it now regularly. Just don't use it on buds.
