Cannabis Pest Identification & Treatment

Identify, prevent, and eliminate the most common cannabis pests

Pests are one of the biggest threats to your cannabis grow. Early identification is critical — catching an infestation early can save your entire crop. Starting with HLVD-tested, pest-free clones from a reputable nursery gives you a clean start.

Spider Mites

Signs: Tiny dots on leaf undersides, stippling damage (tiny white/yellow dots on top of leaves), fine webbing in severe cases.
Treatment: Neem oil, insecticidal soap, predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis). Remove heavily infested leaves. Maintain humidity above 60% (mites thrive in dry conditions).
Prevention: Inspect new plants before introducing to garden. Quarantine new clones for 48 hours.

Thrips

Signs: Silver/bronze streaks on leaves, tiny black dots (frass), small elongated insects visible with magnification.
Treatment: Spinosad-based sprays, sticky traps, predatory insects (Orius insidiosus). Apply in evening when thrips are less active.
Prevention: Blue sticky traps for monitoring. Keep grow area clean.

Aphids

Signs: Clusters of small soft-bodied insects on stems and new growth. Sticky honeydew residue. Curling leaves.
Treatment: Blast with water, ladybugs, insecticidal soap, neem oil. For severe infestations, pyrethrin-based sprays.
Prevention: Inspect plants daily. Companion planting with basil and marigolds outdoors.

Fungus Gnats

Signs: Small black flies hovering around soil surface. Larvae feed on roots, causing slow growth and wilting.
Treatment: Let soil dry between waterings. Mosquito bits (BTI) in water. Yellow sticky traps. Top-dress with sand or diatomaceous earth.
Prevention: Avoid overwatering. Good drainage. Don't leave standing water.

Powdery Mildew

Signs: White/grey powdery coating on leaves, especially in humid, poorly ventilated conditions.
Treatment: Potassium bicarbonate spray, milk spray (40% milk/60% water), remove affected leaves. Improve airflow immediately.
Prevention: Maintain airflow, avoid leaf wetness, defoliate dense canopy. Choose mildew-resistant genetics.

IPM Best Practices

  1. Start clean: Buy pest-free, inspected clones
  2. Quarantine: Isolate new plants for 48 hours before introducing to your garden
  3. Monitor: Inspect plants daily, especially leaf undersides
  4. Prevention first: Proper airflow, humidity, and cleanliness prevent most issues
  5. Biological controls: Predatory insects are the safest option for cannabis
