The worst thing I saw was my buddy, who was growing for me at the time, got a spider mite infestation. I never even knew what they were and neither did he. By the time we figured out what they were and how to treat them, they had sucked those plants dry. We had to harvest early and it was a tiny harvet at that. Watch out for spider mites.

Oddly enough, the solution consisted of buying a bottle of predator mites, which we released a few days after treating the plants with Neem oil (I think). Infestation cured, but too late.
