Dozen cuts in a 40 cell tray for 3 weeks, had a little soak after drying out, and I find this in the dunk tray.
The usual springtails floating about (maybe 15 in this shot) and 20ish worms. I think needle nematodes are the best fit, but I'm still not sure. It's a bit fat for a needle. Maybe 10mm long, and does keep bending back n forth quite quickly.
I mixed up some all round insect spray, and dunked them in that. It seemed these in the tray died, but 24h later I'm dunking again, and some are still coming out alive.
I can't possibly move these cuts into bigger pots, then my finals. They were going slow, and that 24h after treatment, really showed how much better they should be.
The treatment was done, when they were already wet. A few dunks, but perhaps the blocks didn't get to fully loaded with insecticide. I fear these are not going to die though.
Another hit, with a wetting agent?
I'm really hoping someone has killed these off before. I feel sure it's from the coco. These needle toads are not a local one, they are from coco land. If they are needles. They seem too fat.
f**king itchy sheets stopping my next cycle. I can't realistically use this coco if I can't kill them, so just popped some seeds in an old desiccated bag of compost
