What are these bugs? (See the videos, last 2 entries in this week "7") I killed them with gnatrol WDG (bacillus thuringiensis, subsp. israelensis) They are white and small, long-bodied, with 2 antennae. Fast moving.

Hello my friend For me it's trhips A real headache, especially if the plants come from cuttings. This tiny insect moves very quickly, so we must act quickly to avoid giving it time to cause much damage. To prevent his arrival, you can spray Neem oil or black soap from time to time, but if he's already in action, we'll have to roll up our sleeves.👊 sYMPTOMS A good way to ensure that the crop is infested with thrips is to roll out yellow tape along the crop, as some insects will stick to it. You can also discover them if you notice silver marks on the surface of the leaves, sometimes accompanied by dots, which are the stool. Another indicator is the brittle appearance of the leaves, as the thrips sucks the chlorophyll without getting bored. Treatment Spraying again black soap or Neem oil is always useful to eradicate the pest, provided that the flowering process has not started yet. If it has already started, it is better to introduce predators, such as wasps or orius. These species are immune to the fungus "Verticillium lecanii" often contained in organic insecticides used against thrips, so we can spray in addition.👍 Good luck for your grow May the force be with you💪

@BillMonroe Hi friend they are thrips and are can easily be controlled using an eco friendly product called neem oil and the use of sticky traps. Now I also see a bit of overwatering going on in your coco grows Try to let them dry more between waterings. I avoid coco myself but if you must use it a mycorrhizal innoculant plus beneficial nematodes can help with the pest problems associated with coco use
