Otsikko: pests(HELP!!!)
Kirjoitti: serene1 - kesäkuu 14, 2009, 07:45:39 ap
I have several different Ebb and Flo systems. I use clay pellets for my grow medium. While flooding one of the tables, I noticed little white specs floating around in the clay. When taking a closer look, I noticed thousands of very tiny white bugs living among the roots of my plants. I have no idea what they are, but they are very small. I almost didn't see them. I freaked out and checked all the other systems. They don't seem to be infected, yet! These pests are not on the leaves or stems, just in the grow medium. Please help me with any suggestions or experience! :(

Okay, on the roots, not on the plants?

First of all: Don't PANIC! :)

Actually, little bugs on the roots might be good guys!
They might enrich the bacterial activity on your plants.

If the plants look healthy, then there is no reason to worry.
