I've had some lil bugs similar to your description in my outdoor garden too. Do they jump about like tiny fleas if disturbed? I've notice they also pool together when watering if they get into potted plants. From what i've heard they are beginning stages of soil knats but i dont really know because i've never noticed soil knats outdoors in any large amounts like there should be if those lil guys were their babies. I have tried everything in the past in my garden to no avail. I think I got them originally in a large truck load of compost i bought. My garden seems to do ok but maybe its because they are quick veggies unlike long living plants like your girls. The potted plants i've pulled and the soil had colony like groupings of eggs.
I'd say if you can keep up on a routine compost tea spray/drenching you may keep them under control. If its what i've got no even pestisides work. Normal i never use such things but after pulling last yrs garden i srayed everthing and the buggers are back? Good luck w/ whatever you have. I wish i had a pic. to compare.
merit 75 wp... .015gram per gal as a soil drench;
Can you get it in California?. One place says no. Maybe you know better , i've never seen it so have no knowledge. If its really good on knats i'd love to try it if its avail. here.
thanks
they toss EVERYTHING... soils; mediums; rockwool cubes; etc.... everything has to go... the room has to be scrubbed top to bottom and unless you move to a new grow site there is probably a 75% chance you'll get them again.... oh yeah you gotta toss all your plants and genetics too... moms, clones, everything has to go to have an organic control for root aphids....
seriously i'd just add the merit in the dark of night and not tell anyone.....
organics r cool and all but most people into em are horribly ignorant of plant science... things like a plants metabolism and the effective life of systemics seem not to enter into their closed minds....
yeah a i took cutts off all before i chucked them in the trash,,,,:rasta2: just left me in a fucked up state with not having cutts when i need them to ruin cuttin schedule:icon_dizzy::( Really sorry to read that. Really sorry. You have back-up?
