I would dump your rez, sterilize it and start with fresh H2O and Nutes. Do you have somewhere to park the plant while you clean up the rez? They will be fine out of water for an hour or so. Or you can rest the net cup over a bucket and let the roots hang in water. Either way, she'll be fine. I would CAREFULLY flush out your roots too, make sure you don't miss any of the little fuckers....Peace

yep dumped resi yesterday, bleached it today, going to put fresh H20 ph 6.0. im running a table drip system for 32 plants in coco so cant take roots out so to speak. once i put the resi back in going to feed for 20 mins, then see whats in my resi once the run off has stopped.I would dump your rez, sterilize it and start with fresh H2O and Nutes.

If its a larvea I would reccomend looking up pradatory nematodes. They are a microscopic ring worm that feeds on larvae, I had a fungus gnat problem and I tried Azamax only to see them come back once I dumped the predatory nematodes in my coco mix with in a few days you could see the flies dying everywhere but nit on the medium, they like to land on the medium before they die and make babies but after you drench the medium with nematodes they wont go near the medium to them its like jumping in a pool of hungry sharks/ alligators ..

Preadtory Nematodes is all you need they eat a variety of larvae , when you call to order them or buy them from the grow store say you want the predatory nematodes that feed on " fungus gnat larvae " or whatever type of bug you are fighting.
