Bugs 🤔

Post by Wayne36 »

Ok so I am curious.... i see people get aphids gnats spidermites etc. I have only ever had gnats( indoors )and spidermites (outdoors) where do these bugs come from ? The soil ? And why is it that the cannabis plant attracts them so much ? Gnats I feel can come from the soil depends on what kind u get... but for the other bugs i am not sure🤔

Personally I think we bring a lot of them in on our clothing but saying that I’ve got sping tails in my coco at the minute and the only explanation is they cake in the coco it’s self

I would say 80% or more of the bugs come in the soil. If You have the time before hand it is always best to dry your soil right out bugs either die or leave...
