WTF? little white worms eatin my seeds!!

[Professor Gr33n]

Ok so i woke up this mornin to check on my seeds which should have been germinating, i look into the paper towel an they are covered in what looks like tiny white maggots or worms and inside the seeds all the potential plant is like a white slush. Any info on these or helps would be great.
Peace x

pics? ...............

 

[Professor Gr33n]

Yeh, i kinda just killed them all as soon as i saw them. The were only a couple mm long an bright white

 

[GrowTech]

Did they look like this?

 

[Professor Gr33n]

Yeh im pretty sure thats them, can't remember the black tops but i think thats them. What the fuck are those lil bastads?!

 

[GrowTech]

Fungus gnat larvae.

 

[Professor Gr33n]

What do they do? an How did they get there?

 

[GrowTech]

Do you have gnats flying around at all? The larvae feed on the root system of plants, often killing seedlings before they even come out of the soil.

 

[Professor Gr33n]

Dunno dude havnt seen any flying around but ill keep an eye out, this is my first grow so im pretty un-sure about everything that happens. Ill just throw out these pots an soil an start again with another couple of seeds. Thnx for the help man x

lol
not worms.
its the tap root.
plant the worm downwards in the soil, its the tap root , the main root.
plant in the soil and the leaves will start to pop out of the soil/

 

[Professor Gr33n]

Nah its not the tap root, i might be a first time grower but im not retarded................anymore

 

[crazy-mental]

was it like this?.

 

[crazy-mental]

i would change the paper towel.
somthing must have laid eggs in the p.towel.
if thats happening to p.towel, good luck with soil.
maybe get some bug killer and try and get rid of what ever is laying eggs.

 

[Professor Gr33n]

Im gonna start again with fresh everything hopefully i will have more luck this time.

 

[GrowTech]

LOL @ worm / taproot...

taproots dont move around like larvae do. lol.

dude

did the worms get into the seeds?
are the seeds dead or was the worms just in the towel?.

 

[Professor Gr33n]

The lil fuckers where in and around the seeds, and the inside of the seeds was turned to white mush

 

[$toned che$$]

heh, you may be right

Professon Gr33n, were they moving when you found them? If not, I'd say crazy-mental is correct. I've never heard of maggots attacking bud seeds, only dead things

 

[crazy-mental]

fuck, little fuckers.
how long were the worms?1 to 2 mm?.
before you start again.
i would fumegate the area.
next time, put the seeds in a p.towel and put in a cd case or a sealed container.
so no little fuckers get in.

but be carefull this dont happen to your soil grow?.

fumegate
