i went to check on my grow,as they dont look v healthy,and on a seedling closed to the door of the tent

i found tiny tiny little worms on the top of it,i have removed them all and sprayed the garden with spray safe

i also noticed a brown pupae like egg in the soil,i have seen these damn things before,i cant get pics,my cameras gonna be way to blurry up close.

but i remeber the exact same egg/pupae being on my outdoor plant a while ago,really weird,oval in shape,and always hanging from a leaf on the plant on what looks like a silk line.

anyone know what i am talking about,shit worried now

i just use spray safe atm,seems to kill everything that you need to worry about.

they were so small tho,look like thrip larvae kinda to me,i was just horrified when i saw the same type of egg thing,it always spotted them on my outdoors one,and the one just in the soil at the top hasnt 'split' or hatched it doesnt look like,whatever the fuck it is.

my seedlings are very yellow near the veins and dropping,i can imagine this whole thing failing,itll ruin me!

Just stick a hot shots no pest strip in the corner and it will defeat all bugs with its aroma. Unless you have time to to give all your plants a sponge bath with Neem Oil every three days. I had small fungus gnat problem then had Spider mites, then had some kind of little worm things, since I got the pest strip nothing.
Neem Oil $20 And 6 hours a day every three days.
Sticky Tape $10 And every time you walk through your grow room the stick to you, plus they are B.S.
Hot Shots No Pest Strip $PRICELESS, Never deal with bugs again!

I was dealing with fungus gnats and tried the no pest strips. I had it in there for a week straight and while it did kill hundreds of them, I think they had time to lay new eggs before dying which didn't break the life cycle. I also had sticky traps and a neem oil spray and mosquito dunks in the water which didn't work. I eventually went to HD and bought some play sand. Put an inch of it on top of each plant and WAM they are all dead. Have had the sand on now for a week+ and havent noticed any negative effects.

the pest strips wont stop the larva from the gnats, but gnats are simple to get rid of if you just let the soil dry. Then they cant suvive the dry enviroment. The pest strips are the best for spider mites and caterpillars which I think are the hardest to get rid of with anything else.

i have some play sand,i know i do somewhere,i shall do this!!!!

my seedlings look very sickly,i thinks its because of the plagron royalty mix soil,its too strong for them,the same ak's grew outside fine straight into it,im sure they just have to get used to it

he sprayed with spray safe! That is Neem based with some added kick! You done good man. Treat some more with that stuff.

Sounds like you have some kind of larvae in your soil too maybe. I would look at trying to treat your medium too. Maybe with some 'gnat off' or something similar. Good luck dude.

:peace:

Having said that....pure Neem oil is cheaper and you can mix it yourself. But spray safe is probably more effective.
