i saw what i thought was a mite crawling around on my baby...well i actually saw a couple, not overwhelming...But they seemed like the size of a large flea that's got furry white back or so it looked...But also i sprinkled sevin dust on them yesterday, so it could be the little fella was rollin around in it (honestly what it looked like)...But i just can't imagine what it would be...I'm pretty sure the sevin would've took out any mites...if i see another i'll try and get pic up
 
when it comes to bugs i have found that outdoors, you will have bugs.
as long as there is not an infestation underway i dont mind bugs in my garden. an old farmer that i know (organic grower since its dawn) told me his aproach to the issue, which is what i come to believe as well: the more bugs you kill within your garden, the more you mess with nature, and specifically the "bug harmony" within the ecosystem of your garden. each bug has a job, and

i tend to let natural selection take place. when it comes to the bugs and my plants.
-for the bugs i say this because they eat eachother and struggle to stay alive, which in turn balances them well. mother nature at work. (if there is a huge number of one species within your garden obviously there is a problem)
-and for the plants i believe that the strong will survive. by allowing the bugs to do there thing (which is actually fun to watch if theyre big enough) i feel it gives me a chance to identify week genes within my strains. i think i would be actually be promoting week genes by changing the ecosystem of my garden by killing too many bugs. what do you think?
