WHat are these bugs?
FoxCrowstarted grow question 5 years ago
I had a Fungus Gnat problem, so I let the top soil dry and bottom water my fabric pots.
Now, these little fellas live underneath my pots..
Any idea what they are? Is the worm like fella a nematode (I did use wormcasting tea)? Or a Fungus gnat larvae?
How about those other bugs?

what a video quality. looks like there is a gang fight over there. between some kind of worms and springtails. those legged ones are springtails.I know they are not harmfull at all as I'm getting them almost every time.They eat dead material in root zone.organically beneficial. but worms I have no idea.

springtails dont grow any bigger. and dont come from worms as far as I know. they look like harmless worms,might be caused by worm castings as you said. I dont encounter gnats in my area but I dont think they are gnat larvae

Thnx guys,
Im pretty sure it is not woodlouse/sow bug.
I think in might be springtails as Highroller909 described..
I dont know how big they get, but those guys are nearly invisible to the naked eye. You have to come quite close to be able to see them move...
Also, cant it be thrips in an early life stage?

Hey growmie...
These little creatures are called woodlouse or what some people call a sow bug. They like the moisture so making sure things don't stay too moist for too long. Also remember when the infestation is heavy, it generally indicates a large population immediately outside the building which is where the problem need to be attacked from.
Hopefully this was helpful and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Spider mites in late floweringI have mites on one of the King's I'm starting week 7 of flower now and I don't think spraying is going to be the best decision. I've flushed my plants today, the other ones don't have spots on leaves. The sick plant is moved away form the others. Should I harvest it early or ?a month ago
