Hello everyone!! New to the site and looking for help. Something is eating my plants and i cant find out what it is. i have spent the last 3 days for hours at a time trying to find the hungry guy. i have even went in with a green light well in sleep mode to see if its a night bug. I am still in veg stage and want to nip this before they nip all my girls.. well i hope girls!! still to young to tell!! i think.. any feed back would be great!

Topndress with compost (nonpoop) you will never have bugs again. Except for predatory mites. But those are good bugs. They eat all other bugs and moult in compost. I use Eco scraps compost from home depot and ancient forest Alaskan humus compost. Any hydro shop will have that.

I would recommend some DE DIATOMACIOUS EARTH to sprinkle within your grow room around the floor and any entry points.

If you can't see it on your plants or in the medium then it has to be entering and then leaving.


Find any gaps or holes and sprinkle the DE near them. See if you can't cut that fucker up.

Screen off any holes etc.

Diatomaceous only works when dry. Once its wet it stops working and clumps up. Doesn't do anything for flyers.

I'm telling you compost works. Bugs hate compost. You will never have a bug again. Plus compost is full of beneficial bacteria and fungi and enzymes. Will increase growth and bud size. When using soil compost and worm castings are your best friends.

Can I just add the compost on top of my soilless mix? Or would I have to mix and replant?

I watch each day for eaten leaves. Seems I got um.... What is it that attaches them? Would the Topndress help...and what is it?
