Durbanblue Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hey all, I was moving my clones into bigger pots last night and found these little silver looking bugs in my roots mass, did not get a photo unfortunately. They vary in size, also seem to hang outside the bottom of the pot. Any one got an idea of what they are and do I need to nuke them some how? I have a weekly spray with neem or pyrol as it is, so not sure how they continue to live? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budwizer Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hey Durbs Can’t help you without a pic bru. Vary in size is also a little vague- some are pin heads, some are marbles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Do they have wings? Are they worm like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'd like to see what it is just for reference Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durbanblue Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Ok, so I have identified the bugs they are root aphids. How do I kill them now, any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hein Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I just googled root aphids and they are ugly fuckers. For a moment there I hoped you talked about springtails but a pic would be nice though. Blessings Hein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durbanblue Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Well I just googled springtails and seems I was wrong in what I had seen in my garden, seems I have springtail and not root aphids. This is a small blessing as what I have read is root aphids are near impossible to get rid of, now back to springtails how do I control these little bugs? Thanks in advance.

Budwizer Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Springtails are common in potted cannabis and are a good thing. They feed on dead stuff in the root zone and excrete good stuff. Don’t worry about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenkush Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Start of white fly perhaps or springtails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batista Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I didnt know that you can get pests in coco, is that straight coco/perlite or some kind of coco/soil/perlite combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
