Hundreds of tiny bugs on top layer of soil what are they?
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
Was just feeding them and noticed hundreds of tiny seed looking things float to the top of each plant, watched the soil for a while and they was moving 😪
They look like fungus knats maybe but I don't know for sure will upload a video I got of one.
How do I get rid of them?

Cover your soil with diatomaceous earth, non toxic, obliterates tiny bugs, and also has lots of micronutrients for when you water it down (silice, CalMag, K, Iron), amazing stuff.
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!
Justa_Retardanswered grow question 4 years ago
Yeah, do what Jynx wrote..
Tho, let the top of the soil dry out first, or the diatomaceous earth won't have any effect, as the way it works is by entering whatever place it can in the bugs, and soaking the fluids from their bodies. So if you pour it on a wet soil, it's just gonna soak up the water in the soil instead and be useless.

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.
