Hey dudes. Been watching your show lately and became a big fan. Love the knowledge and just weed talk in general… Comin to you from South Africa Capetown.
Ive started my second and first proper indoor grow two months ago. Began by popping my seeds in some garden soil I’ve been preparing for about 3 years. And if I’m being honest it wasn’t the best soil you can get. It was evident when I transplanted and saw that there was very little root development but they looked healthy.
When I finally got my soil I ordered, which is an enriched coco and with worm casting and organic plant matter. It’s marketed as cannabis soil. Been watering with only tap water as instructed by the manufacturer and also for me to see if I need to add anything extra in future grow… Maybe Recharge 💪🏽
So they look happy and all in this soil. Growth has sped up but I found a gang of waving hand on my top soil. Had a look with a microscope and I can only see one waving antenna and almost no body. Don’t know what concert they’re attending but I wanna know with corona havin us locked, should I evacuate the area or are they friendly? Cos I’ve heard about beneficial organisms and bug and I don’t want an infestation either so what imma do Dudes
Much love from South Africa
Hard to identify them, but I do enjoy your description. Do them seem to be interested in the plant or are they happy in the soil? Do they fly or are the crawlers? Did you just notice this after the addition of the new coco?
After the addition… Tried to upload a beter video because they are tiny but they don’t seem to be moving around. I can barely make out what it is. Just the waving antennae and I’ve planted a new seedling straight into the soil and the same.
Springtails (jumping), hypoaspis miles(move fast), or the dreaded fungus gnat (flies and larvae). Check these out and see if any look similar.
Buggies really hate it when you dry out their soil and then dust good with some diotamatious earth. Spell check where are you now? Hopefully they aren’t white. Root aphid.
