webs in hydroton?!?!? Bulb mites???

[Matthew Jackson]

Okay... so I've been thinking I have tiny root aphids in my hydroton.. im using DWC.

I've been doing gognats dunks and organocide dunks..

Ill post a picture but last night I went in there and looked at the potting and saw what looked like some mold forming but i got closer and it looked like tiny webs...

wtf!!! So that crosses out Aphids.. im guessing theyre called Bulb Mites...

Only thing that came close in my mind is spidermites. They are usually reddish in color too and have webs. Google how to get rif of them.

That comment alone will prevent me from contributing anything useful to this thread. You didn't even wait 12 hours before insulting the board readers. Did it occur to you that the first 30 visitors could not id your insect? I normally just ignore such posts, but something about yours was screaming for attention.

Good luck
