Cannabis pests

General advice for growers about cannabis pests

When grown both outdoors and indoors, protecting marijuana from pests is the key to a good harvest. Even one small insect is able to reduce the scale of the harvest to very small values ​​in the crop. We will not allow the reproduction of pests, and that is why we suggest that you understand their types and methods of dealing with them.

Possible pests when growing cannabis outdoors

In the natural environment, many people want to eat hemp: moles, goats, aphids, spiders, midges, mold, rot, etc. Some of them do not threaten the plant with slow death, but only affect the amount of the crop. However, pests such as bears and moles are able to completely exterminate the entire plantation clean. People have learned to deal with them in both folk and scientific ways: from using alarm clocks (moles are afraid when a very loud signal is heard next to a plant) to chemicals.

Effective indoor cannabis pest control

If outdoor pests just come from the environment, where do they come from indoors? Insects enter the greenhouse through ventilation, they are easy to bring on clothes or shoes. Rot and fungus are spread by spores. Their content in the air is simply huge. They are present in every grow room, but they manifest themselves only under certain conditions: with high humidity, lack of light and low or vice versa too high temperatures.

To grow successfully, it is important not to be greedy and not use the same soil more than once.

Buy soil or substrate for each season and don't use ordinary soil from the street - it definitely contains insects and their larvae.
