Question for MG users

Whats up guys, i use MG just for my sprouts, i use the moisture control. I use a cupful for my sprouts, yesterday i had a sprout and i put Mg in a cup and put my sprout in it, i went to check on it today and i was looking very closely at it and i saw little white bugs crawling around on the dirt. So i got kind of freaked out so i went to put another sprout in mg then i looked in the bag and it had the little white bugs in it too, so its the MG that has those bugs in it. So i want to know if any other MG users have ever had these bugs in their MG and will they harm my sprouts? I took the sprout out of the MG and threw it out. Theres no other little bugs on the pellet i used ( that i see) So please let me know. Thanks everyonekiss-ass

yep my organic MG had those 2. they are actually good "beneficial" bugs. cant thinkof the name right now but there is a tread about them in the plant problem section. i will post a link if i can find it

I've been using it for 30 years and have never had any bugs but, I've noticed lately that some of these big box stores leave it sit outside for weeks on end. You go to pick it up and the bag weighs 50lbs because it's rainsoaked and the packaging is faded from being in the sun. Take it back and have em give you another bag.

did you only see them when you watered the plants or when the top of the soil was moist?
