do tend to got some bug problems ranging from spider mites to caterpillars to these small maggot like things that were eatin through my leaves an leavin lines all over them one year, picked the caterpillars out my buds with a cocktail stick, nipped the leaves at the end of the wee trail an removed the maggot like thingys an for the spider mites i used a bug spray for fruiting plants , not s`posed to spray any more than 3 times though, the earlier caught the better

thankz for that so would it be worth me spraying them now when there young so they wont catch any bugs later on in there life?

i spray mine if i see an infestation, but not otherwise. when they are young, i soround the area with snail pellets as they are all over the place. i went outside this morning and found 12 dead snails around my plant

have u seen any green little bugs on your plan t laefs im not sure if there gonna cause a problem at all but on one plant one what set of leaves theres 2 holes in the leave which maybe caaused by these green bugs.
hyave any idea what insect this is and its gonna cause a damage to my other plants.

[amstron]

ye, ive just had them, theyre green flies. they do damage the plants if their young, I sprayed mine yesterday with a general insecticide

[chronicuk]

are u sure they dont do anything because 2 of my plants have little holes in there leaves which i think is jue to the green flys which my friend tells me are aphids.
any way i can get rid of them or make them leave thankz :rasta:

[amstron]

yes, i said they do damage young plants, thats why I sprayed mine

[chronicuk]

oh sorry to high thankz though.
what will happen if i dont spray will they still survive or die?

[amstron]

soz i took a while, I was away. They could die, in general bug problems just escalate if you leave them, it depends. If I were you I would definately spray them
