I have the sticky traps sitting on the medium. They are homemade, construction paper with vaseline

Also I can't seem to find any larvae, even with a microscope

but wouldn't I have caught some by now with sticky traps and apple cider vinegar?

def not springtails. They are black and resemble fungus gnats or winged root aphids. It is possible to have root aphids and not beable to see them on the roots?

They are small black and seem to resemble fungus gnats. However, I'm not sure they behave like fungus gnats. They seem to live on top of the coco medium and buzz around the plant when I water and then go back into the medium. I've spend hours staring at the roots searching for aphids and have...

You guys are funny and clearly didn't read through the posts. I have been transplanting to larger pots much earlier and having the same problem. I've been getting nearly 1.5gs per watt until this problem began doing exactly what I'm doing now.

I'm having a tough time. The body shape seems to look like a 2 spotted mite but I'm not sure I've seen any images that match what I'm seeing. They could very well be broad mites.

After searching with the microscope for some time I've come across a cluster of dead very tiny clear mites. How do I know if these are broad mites or baby spider mites?

well i can't imagine that anything would be worse than a virus/pathogen for my situation. What did you do to eradicate the broads?

Sounds like you may be right. I haven't spotted them when looking with a microscope before but then again I was only really looking at the 2 spotted mites. I really hope you're right, I'll let you know in a couple hours if I find any when I check. I just sprayed everything yesterday with Doktor...

do you think that this alone could be causing the problem? I've been fighting with 2 spotted spider mites I haven't caught a glimpse of something else but I certainly consider that it's possible they're there.

Is there anyway for me to start over and preserve my genetics. Even if I could I'm not sure it's an option for me at the moment. I depend on the constant flow of production

I usually transplant sooner but I wanted to see if it would make any difference if I kept them in cups this time. After transplanting they drink so slowly they don't dry out after the first water for about 6 days. As it is in the cups they only dry out once every 48 hours.

I was recycling coco but have been completely replacing it last couple of grows. Hasn't made any difference.

Any ideas on how I can fight this? It's been going on for about 9 months now. I can't give up my genetics.

The thing that I think is so puzzling about this is that not a single factor I can think of has changed. Same nutes, same pH, same temps and humidity.

Let me know if any different kind of shots would help

I've been growing for years and this is the first issue that truly has me stumped. I've been growing the same two strains for a long time without issue and now the last few grows I've been experiencing an issue where my crop seems to suffer very badly in it's ability to grow firm roots and...
