Bugs 🤔
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

Re: Bugs 🤔
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...
