I just found out I have a serious bug problem. I am running coco & the following nutes: CNS17 Grow Liquid Karma Superthrive Silicon nute BioRoot Great White Cal-mag+ Flavorful After watering today I had my hands in the pots by the coco & all of a sudden it seemed like there were hundreds of micro bubbles popping all over & out of the coco. After a few minutes of studying it & putting my hands in it, I realized it was hundreds & thousands of microscopic bugs! They really couldn't be seen by the human eye, it really just looked like hundreds of micro bubbles popping at first. So I took a 60x hand scope & as best as I could tried to see what these things look like. They look like a white/translucent ant or something and were crawling around inside the coco like an ant colony. And one second they're under the scope & the next they "pop" or jump away, it's crazy. Has anyone heard of these? The bud doesn't seem to have anything on it & they are strictly on the coco (for now) So it's safe for now. We were hoping to be able to run them for 2 more weeks & not have to chop them now, so if these are bad & we can clean them up, that would be preferred. I also couldn't tell you if this has been going on for weeks or days, I just noticed it a little bit. Could it be the Great White? I've used it A LOT, probably more than the jar says to. Please help! Thanks.
We really need a pic of these bugs, at best from what you have described is spingtail infection http://forum.grasscity.com/blogs/vostok/26674-springtail.html But like I said we need a pic "V"
they could be soil mites, too. both are harmless. most insects in soil mediums are beneficial and a sign of a healthy soil.
Dude, do you have flying gnats too? If you do then you might have root gnats too. Biggggg Problem!!!!!
