Bugs help me find out what they are and the best way to ride me of them!

[glasspackedbowl]

Ok I am indoors as always. Just using 130W of fluros for veg. I was watering my plants. There about a foot tall. OG kush, Bubba kush, and sour diesel. The sour diesel has little white bugs. In the soil. They come out the bottom of planter/pot. These tend to get out of control. These are clones and only the SD is showing any signs of bugs. Hows the best way to kill these little white devils. There super small. U could fit 10 or more in this "O" space. The older ones get less white. There all new no adults yet.

most probably springtails....i got'm with mineral oil (kinda neem oil here)...and some pyrethrum combined....few sprayings of pyrethrum and neem soildrenches and it workt...

Nway if they jump its springtails...

Ill hit them with some neem oil bug spray. So I guess I will water with this next time as they are already watered. The best I suppose I could do is keep the SD isolated maybe take clone. Then flower mother clone out. IF it keeps up I can just use it to make seeds. Next time i water Ill try to get a pic of them.

Another solution is to use (Safer) fruit and vegetable insecticide...Can be used until day of harvest. good stuff, and it kill's an array of critter's......good luck

here a pic of this little critter. They can jump higher then 1.5'' inches. I watched them go under. Kept trying to hop out of the tub. So I took um outside.



any ideas as to what this is?

you can see the slight burning of the leaf tips on the SD hope to knock them buggers out soon.

sorry Pack ...but the only thing i can say its no springtails, thats for shure...it does look like a thrip though ...but then again i'm not shure of that ether...maybe you google thrips and look if the bug matches.....

I would second that they are thrips. Try Monterrey insect and garden sparay. It has a pesticide called Spinosad. This stuff works. You can use it on the foliage, tables, etc... OMRI listed too. You should be able to find it in any quality garden center.

Hey glasspack when I discovered I have caterpillar's which after doing recearch I really had thrips which live at the top 3 inches of your soil. They live off and breed on you plant which then go into a cocoon type thing then turn into the caterpillar and destroy your plant in the flowering process.

When I spotted then I went crazy with fear. I ordered this stuff online that it will kill in minutes. I had ordered on Friday night...from online and paid for 1 day express shipping. So it wouldn't get here till Monday...I went out and got a few organic things from Armstrong's which is made to kill all fruit insects. I had happened to pull 3 pillers of, I put them into a bowl sprayed the stuff I got from Armstrong's and left for 4 hours...I came back and there still thriving to eat. So I'm trying a few different things but nothing worked they still came back. Then I stumbled across this site trying to find an answer. http://www.diatect.com/garden-insect-control.php

This stuff is amazing it works in seconds, it works on leafhopper's/grasshoppers and everything in btween. All the insect needs to do is come in contact with it, they get sick and die. This is the fastest working stuff I have used. Its a powder forum u can use in your sprayer If you have a gallon sprayer use about 3 table spoons shake it up really good, pump it up and spray ur plants...check on them day to day to make sure u didn't miss any of them. Your plants will turn white from the incecti but it will wash off with water

Good luck my friend I hope everytihng works for u

this problems isnt too serious. Plants are looking f***en awesome. Still a bit of these buggers but when I spray them down. I seam to kill the living batch but the eggs survive. I wanna show u how big these really are. PLus I only get them out the bottom of the pots. I never see them on the stem or on the soils surface. This pic is 2"x2" and u can see how small that critter is.
