Hi all. its winter. Bugs arent horrible, yet i found a small spider, IN my grow tent. This is my first grow and my baby girls arent even 2 inches tall yet. Any safe ways to combat further problems? I could potentially calk every crevice of that room, however that doesnt stop them from coming in from the closet or under the door from main room. I was thinking spraying the angle portions of the walls with raid (not in tent, in room tent is in) That just doesnt sound like a good idea for the plants tho!

When I find spiders and ladybirds I sling them in my grow room. You should make it welcome, it will eat nasties.
Suppose your right... This has got to be the 4th spider I’ve felt remorse for killing in the last 20 months The other most recent was a small jumping spider on my struggling baby cactus, I knew i should of/have let em live!!!! Currrrrr Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
There is a debate about this in pandoras box or philosophy I cant remember which. But why would you kill a poor spider!
I use to pay the neighborhood kids to catch praying mantis for my outdoor grow buildings, never ever had a pest issue.
Spiders are great to have around in your grow ..they will trap many other nasties ..leave spiders alone ,,they are goodies ..mind you if you live in Australia id have second thoughts about spiders some nasty bloody spiders over there ,,mac,,
So upon reading horror stories of infestations, I went and found a spider i would not fear coming across (theres some scary biggins!) A lovely jumping spider i threw directly in the tent. Lights had JUST turned off within minutes so i hope he enjoys his new home and tends to the ladies as i would, they now have two caretakers about a week old Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

I’ll grab some old towels and hangem wet Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
no biggy really as you should consider growing out some seeds if this low Rh and High temp is a permanent thing as it comes under the heading a Acclimatization where successive generations of one plant become accustomed the the grow space and climate of your region (hi temps and low Rh) cheers/
Like producing my own seeds? I have fem seeds but i read that right before harvest you can create high stress and then those seeds created could be viable. Did more reading on my first grow, stumbled across a paragraph about seeds, no research done and not sure if that technique is all there is to it even. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Next time you buy in seeds include a few males or regular seeds, Herbies Head Shop - Search for Regular, Autoflowering you can still get male autos if you look hard ...lol stressing plants to swap sex is not a healthy practice as in most cases results in permanent herms cheers/
Anybody care to come over and displace this into my growtent for pest protection? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I hate spiders. And have a mild case of arachnaphobia. I do not kill them if they are in my grow room or on my outdoor plants. The rest though are fair game. I will however, put my fears aside for you to help protect your plants.
