First Time Grow Diary In The Uk

[kbellfoy]

Yeah,I'm shitting bricks,never had any bugs.always done dwc.had one thing after another.switching to soil.new soil cuts n seedlings look great still.i should pull the others n count my losses,but don't like to.gonna get something today for em.sticking em all in soil.fuck hydro.gonna try n separate them I'm clear.loving the soil though.mixed some coirand perlite in to loosen it up.getting some ewc today.make em a drop of tea.u do love a cuppa.

Oh yes lol iv got a tea brewing atm...Iv never done hydro. I considered it but then I found I can't afford a chiller for my res water.
I had a weird experience this grow. Early on I washed a single caterpillar put of my seedlings. Had no more since. I shat myself too lol.
I grow in soil mainly as iv found it a smoother smoke. I have asthma so it counts a lot.
only thing about soil is things take longer to turn around if there's a prob and flushing is just hard work in soil.
How far along along ate the ones u wanna chuck? Bloody website went down earlier. Did u lose service to

Phew dunno man.sounds like the larvea of something,but what?
were are u in the world?
have you googled common root pests in your area

 

[kbellfoy]

The one on the leaf earwig like and off white sounds like a thrip but they leave distinctive marks? But the wigglers in the roots maybe something else? I wonder if it's 2 different bugs. I hope it's not! Can u get a pic?

 

[happy b]

A pic might help.i would google the most common root pests that come in grub form in your area.its the best chance of identifying what you have.
iv actually heard of eariwigs doin damage before.

Yellow ones,sorry,I dive in half way through k.i missed ya say u got hooking down also.Are they folding down the centre as well a bit?like a taco.ive been getting similar to this.trying everything.less N was my first bet.found a solitary bug on leaf,sprayed em down.5 days later find one more.sprayed again.now some roots come away in my hand.looked under scope and I'm sure there's a tiny worm,grub thing on there.tiny.going to get something to plunge roots into and stronger spray.cant afford to lose no more.hope its nothing serious with yours.hopefully it is just cut out some N maybe?

I just realised you says something on thel leaf aswell as the roots.kbellfoy i think it was says thrips.that would be my first guess.

 

[wokkabear]

just a rough guess but it could be vine weevils they are black bugs that lay there root eating larvee in the soil if your finding your plants dont look revived after watering google it there commonly found in plants growing in containers mainly

So what the hell am I doing wrong. I have a tub...A air pump and stone...A water heater set at 75. I have tried a few things. Compost and molasses. Compost molasses fulvic acid and myco. Molasses and myco. Molasses myco and compost. Idk I just keep fuckin it up. Iv been on you tube and seen the end results. Mine don't look frothy or bubbly. Just flat. No bad smell. This last one has like chunks of stuff growing in it.
Iv always used a heater. But then I heat my water just for watering lol. I never use cold water. It must be like being in a hot bath and someone chucking cold water on em lol. How's it going with the bugs?
