Bugs

[Amy Girard]

Help please! I have some sort of bugs in my soil. I see them in the soil crawling around and on the streams. They are TINY I couldn't get a picture of them because they are so small. Hubby thinks aphids. My question is what can we do to remedy this? I'm growing autoflowers and it's my very first grow. Are my plants going to make it? We thought we had a PH problem or CalMag but I'm afraid it is bugs. Any advice would be great! Thank you!

You can spray aphids off with water no worries.

After tons of neem oil and some pyrethrin i just listened to this forum. Spinosad+ dish soap mate for aphids and gnats

 

[SubmarineGirl]

Spinosad yes but are you in flower stage?

 

[oldfogey8]

Got any pictures?(of the plants)…

Edited to add ‘of the plants’ because I like pictures

Could they be gnats like big says? Do you have yellow stick traps? If they are in the soil he’s probably right. Is your soil wet? They really like that.

Try to get a picture of those bugs. Use your phone with stretch screen. Maybe they aren’t aphids at all

Here are a few I just took. We have then in all stages right now. We honestly didn't think they would all make it but here we are. I'm running a humidifier to keep it between 63 and 65% humidity and I believe that's all the white in my tent. Assuming it's mineral deposit from humidifier. I also enjoy pictures of everyone's plants.

I do not have sticky traps. I'm hoping to get some tomorrow. I will see if I can capture anything on my phone. More to come........

Pyganic.

Those are white flies, nats. I mix up some pyganic and spray the surface of the dirt good.

Closer look, not they are not white flies....I would spinosad or pyganic.

Looks like something Hopper brought back from his last trip to Warez.
