tons of white worms crawling in the soil, i was able to flood a lot of the worms when i recently watered the plants. Im sure they are there in the first place due to the soil being wet, so ill probably let the soil dry out quite a bit now. I sprayed the soil and leaves with neem oil and some hot pepper wax and threw up some fly strips.

Do you have any pics? They might be pot worms which are beneficial to the soil and plant.

are they maybe springtails, take a close look with a magnifying glass. i had them loads of times but never noticed a problem, if you have fungus gnats then it would possibly be there larvae...

okay here are some pictures, they are in all my pots, i have a crazy infestation of these white worms, that you all think are white fly's larvae. i have pots miles away apart and still have this infestation, its eather maggots from the bloodmeal i added in all my pots, or these white fly's love this Early Girl strain.

This is exactly what you need to do, but dont use swimming pool grade, go to a whole foods store or just a natural store and get food grade. It acts like razor blades to them and wipes them out. Dont just sprinkle put an 1/8 inch or so in there.
