I was checking my pHs yesterday and I lifted one of the baskets to find dozens of tiny bugs crawling around. I have dealt with bugs in the past, but the only ones I’ve ever seen are barely visible under my 10x loupe. These are visible to the naked eye. They look like ticks kind of and they are about that size. What is most frustrating is that I have been spraying with Azamax weekly because of problems I’ve had before (NOT in this grow). This plant had just received its second treatment 5 days ago.
However, they don’t seem to be eating my leaves. I only see them in and around the reservoir and occasionally crawling around the lid. I don’t see them on the plant at all.
As soon as I noticed the bugs, I changed the water, rinsed the basket, and cleaned the bucket out. I just sprayed (foliar) the plant with Azamax again (8ml/qt). I also lifted the basket up and sprayed all over it, which I don’t normally do, but that’s where all the bugs are. I got quite a bit of the Azamax in the reservoir. I’m not sure how long I should let it sit before I change the water again.
Any recommendations about this?? What else should I do?
