Bugs that look like tiny june bugs..

..are all over my plants.. they dont have any holes in them or any discoloration so I'm guessing they arent harmful.. I've never seen buds like these before, and I'm assuming they were living or unhatched in my MG potting mix..

If I find a pic on the net i'll post it, but they are so tiny that I cant take a pic of one myself.. Also, if anyone has experience with these bugs, tell me whether they are good or bad..

can be devastating , find out what it is quick

good thing its not those.. i searched google images and couldnt find anything close to what im lookin for..

after google searching i found some similar bugs but the names arent given.. they are def beetles of some kind..


Also, I had these bugs my last grow as well.. They didnt hurt the plant at all as far as I could tell.. and these bugs die really quick.. You may see about 8 of them crawling around, then the next day you will see 8 dead ones.. and if they arent eating my plant then what are they eating?

do they crawl around the pots when u water?

yes, they do!

let me also add that these fuckers can fly too.. all i do to get them off my plant is blow on the plant really hard and they fall of sometimes flying, sometimes just landing on their backs..

sounds like root aphids. i could be wrong, but they can fuck your crop up if not handled right away.

I found some other bugs today.. They are black gnat looking bugs with clear wings.. they fly around my grow spot and land on the fan leaves.. I'm guessing these bugs are bad.. The others werent so bad..

good ole mg...peace

Fungus gnats and don't know of the beetles.

There are so many pest that it might be impossible to ID them. Your local nursery would be your best bet if you needed an accurate ID of them. In the mean time, have you done anything to get ride of them?

I really like Diatomaceous Earth and Neem Oil. When small bugs and insects walk over or eat the DE, it cuts them up, soaks up their moisture, and dehydrates them to death. Neem Oil on the other hand affects reproduction, imparts an unpleasant taste to the plant, and can kill by suffocation. You can mix all three together with warm water and add 1-2 drops of an insecticidal soap to make a very effective insecticide. Apply it like a regular soil drench.

If you prefer a spray on solution mix only the neem oil, insecticidal soap, and warm water. Spray liberally starting from the top, making sure to get the undersides of the leaves, then work your way down. Pour any remaining solution into the soil as a drench. Then while the plant is still wet, dust the leaves with dry diatomaceous earth.
