Damn I think you are right. Looks like a budworm pupa or something. I'll do some more investigating tomorrow.
I'm in week 5 flower so not really sure what I can do at this point. I guess I will order some Dr. Zymes as I hear you can use it straight through flower.
I need to research more preventative ipm if I'm going to keep doing living soil...

I just spent a while looking for more evidence of caterpillars and all I can find is some webs in the corners of my soil bed. Couldn't find anything in the leaves or buds... Hopefully I'm freaking out over nothing.
My soil does have a lot of these bugs now. Looks like some kind of root aphids... Doesn't seem to be affecting my plant yet whatever it is.

Edit: I think I may have just identified the soil bugs. Looks exactly like this and one comment says it's Tyrophagus Putrescentiae. A type of mite. Not harmful to mature plants.

Here's my black domina plants for my next grow. I'm going to try 2 plants in the 2x3 tent instead of just one like I've been doing. Got about 4 more weeks left till I can put them in the tent.

I think apera is supposed to be good. The cheapest model is only 50 bucks. That's what I plan on getting if my cheapo one goes bad.

Today I hit 55 days flower. The breeder recommends 55-60 days but we all know that's usually wrong. I couldn't find any amber trichomes but they are looking nice and cloudy. Probably will go a couple more weeks.
I am super excited for this one. It's looking like the best weed I've grown yet.

Anyone got an ID on these pests? Need to figure out before they take over.

They all grow a little bit different but I wouldn't necessarily say easier or more difficult. Indica strains tend to grow short and bushy which makes training a flat canopy easier. Some strains are more prone to mold or powdery mildew. I think OG Kush was one that is notorious for being more tricky to grow.
Mostly they are all pretty similar though.

How long do carbon filters usually last for you guys? Someone recently visited my house and said it reeks. I must be noseblind to it.
My carbon filter has been going non-stop for about 1.5 years so I ordered a new one and some ona gel. I never tried the gel before but I know not to put in the same room as the plants.

The only thing from AC infinity that I probably wouldn't buy again is the 6 inch oscillating fan. Mine started making a clicking noise and looking online it seems to be a common issue. I don't care enough to try and warranty it though.
And thanks piggy for the input on the carbon filter.

I run my dehumidifier directly outside the tent with it pointed at the air intake. I got a really old dehumidifier so it can be controlled with a plug adapter on the AC infinity controller. Most new dehumidifiers won't automatically turn on when power cycles.

These are going in my tent once I harvest the Romulan. I haven't really done much training with them at all. Kind of a mess but they seem healthy-ish. Once they get in my nice soil bed and under some good lights they should improve.

Mr Piggy said: Romulan is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Nice to see people still growing the old school strains.
I learned about it from the podcast Growcast. Someone who goes by "temple grower" was on an episode talking about the early medical cannabis scene in Canada. He mentioned several times that romulan was a popular medical strain at the time and I became intrigued. It's fun to grow something with a bit of history in my opinion.
