Greeting friends, jombib here..
I have been trying to grow some new plants but I am having some problems, recently my grow room has become the hotel of small silver bugs which burrow under the soil, which I assume are gnats. whenever I try to grow seedlings they end up dead a few days later, some get lucky and make it above soil, the others die before the taproot breaks off the shell. I laced my water with mosquito dunks but no avail. If I got rid of the gnats with the mosquito dunks, what could be killing my seedlings? here are some pictures of a recently deceased B.H.D.
The plants are housed in a cabinet with good air circulation, temperatures averaging 78-82 degrees so I do not think it is heat stroke
