little round black bugs in rockwool cub between plastic and cube!

I just seen these little bugs today. they are tiny blackish color and appear to be mackin down on the root system. any idea what and why? no signs of slowing or leaf problems. Had spider mites I dr. doomed em lbefore flower. no signs of mites anywhere under leaves or anything.

are they black or brown?

root aphids are brown and look like this when under a microscope.

Im not sure theyre so tiny and i dont have a microscope or anything handy.. time for a trip to the 99 cent store.. but they are dark round and look like mites of some kind. no sign of any bugs in flower room just a few on one or too cubes and a couple floating in the res. saw one crawling under water on the table though?????WTF??

yup thats those fu#$ers! whats a good cure? they seem to float and crawl underwater nothing on the vegetation though... ladybugs like em????

those look scary....if you google around theres many sources of cures

wow, and i just learned root aphids isnt really their name, its Phylloxera, the same shit that makes wineries uproot hundreds of acres of vineyards, cuz they used root stalk that isnt strong and immune. the yields of grapes will go down and down every year to very low levels while being affected with this. It is common for people to say Phylloxera is a fungus.

It might not be phylloxera but sure does look like it, and some other folks seem to think so. Theres so many dang bugs out there.

yo i know its a little late, but i i got rid of them by cleaning and quarantine.
i mean i took every last clone out, killed most the babies, they were fucked.
bleached all my shit, rubbing alcohol, bacardi 151, all the shit.
then put everything back. well, i had 4 left that were abotu 3 weeks.
only 1 made it, and it was because of this shit called zero tolerance.
on the interwebs they have the instructions on diluting it.
just after you dunk them, give them a flush of the same ppm nutes you were using.
otherwise they will wilt fast and die. they dont tell you to do that part, but thats what worked for me.

let me know what ended up happening.

I rooled the plastic on the 4x4 cubes up and flooded my tray high and all those fuckers got washed down into the res and i changed and cleaned. no signs in any cubes just a few dead ones floating in res. They still maybe in my mommas but they arent showing any stress. I could of easily never noticed these guys just because they didnt affect my veg growth. are they attracted to the flowers at all?

Click to expand...

well i killed them before they got to that side.
they didnt look to be affecting the plants.

yeah i checked the flower side and they never made it that far.. i got those sticky deals in the soil of the mommas to catch any crawling out..

theyre back!
