I got neemoil....

Can they hurt my plants? Says they feed on dead matter I see them on the dead leaves I usually just stick under the soil.....

Neem oil won't do you any good if you're just watering into the soil. And it'll actually make your soil and roots hydrophobic, since it can coat everything on it's way through and make the water just run past... If there's nothing flying around or crawling, or laying eggs on the leaves, neem won't help. If there's nothing flying around and no spider webs on the plants, you're most likely looking at a beneficial insect of some sort. Insect traps on top of the soil and hanging around the area, and pictures are essential in identification and management of critters :smoking:

I wouldnt do anything personally.. Most bugs in the soil are a good thing.

Do you have any sticky traps? Cheap and they catch anything flying around. That’s about all I use. But I’m all synthetic indoors and leave my organics outside.

I have one.

$20-30 off Amazon. GET CALIBRATION FLUID.

It says you don't need it. Get their 342ppm cal fluid. Mine was only off by 50-ish. Still, meter is worthless if you don't know if it's accurate.


Meter:

Amazon product ASIN B008SOPO10
Cal solution:

Amazon product ASIN B001VE99X8
