I had the stranges bug appear in my garden, at first glance i thought they were root aphids.... there were several beatle like criters walking on the sides and the brim of the pot's, then i ravaged my hand through the dirt to find nothing! they seem to be just walking arond the brim!

another clue "flyers" but they were the poorest looking flyers i've ever seen! it look like there wings were to heavy for them, freakin big looking transparent wings.

second clue they look like there were dieing! they apeare to be dead on top of the fan leafs! the plants still look aswome! they weren't nats cuzz nats kind of hoover fly kinda, and there bodies are that of a tiny mosquito.

they weren't winged root aphids, root aphid flyers are faster then nats, right?

i did crush up some mosquito dunks on all my plants top layer.... maybe there trying to invade but can't get pass the dunks which can some what explain why there dead on top of the leafs?

any thoughts anybody?

i just went back and check my notes out, they might just be root aphids trying to atack! I've drenched the soil in the begining and flooded them with hydrogaurd a method used and studed by university researchers, then crushed up mosquito dunks on the top layers! seems as if my systems working! a bunch of dead flyers! but still i see the crab like crawling ones, I wonder how long my defense will hold?

any thoughts?

Oh and i flooded them with nemotodes! kinda hit them in all ways! buddy of mines asked why I'm doing all this when i had nothing, i told him, "its better to be safe then sorry!" i guess that statements comming true.... i just wonder how long i can hold up?

this is the second time there trying to get through, I've seen this in veg a bunch of dead flyers on the floor and the fan leafs. shook the plants off and checked my yellow trapes, maybe 3 at the most on them! 2 weeks into flower and there trying to atack again! this time with a whole bunch of crab like buddies!

I'm going to continue my defense program! does anybody know how long the dunks are active for before crushing more up? and does anybody know how long neematodes are active in the soil before they die off?
