Looks like Tics. Get some Neem Oil, you will need it.Hello,
I have recently notice these new light brown bugs living directly in my growing medium. I am using two different kinds of mediums; Fox Farm Ocean Forest Potting Soil, and Bushdoctor Coco Loco Potting Mix. I notice more of the bugs in the potting soil vs the cocoa coir. I have been doing a lot of research but have not been able to narrow down exactly what these bugs are. I believe they are either a root aphid or some type of soil mite. I am in the first week of flower and I am a relatively new grower so I feel like I need to get these little guys taken care of right away. They are specifically in the growing medium and on the rims of some of my pots but I can not find a single bug on any of the foliage or stems of the plants and I checked both sides of the leaves to be sure. Also, a side not i do not see any yellowing or any weird growth on any of the plants they all seem to be doing perfectly fine and look very green besides (I can post pictures of how my plants look if that will help to narrow down what these bugs are and if they are causing any damage.) Any help would be greatly appreciated this is my first decent sized grow and I am going to be very sad if everything dies 4-7 weeks before I am going to harvest. (Im sorry about the blurry pictures and videos it was very hard for my microscope to focus on these guys)
Bit of an old thread but, Diatomaceous earth works kick ass and it’s pretty cheap. Works awesome for soil born bugs just sift some over the top of your soil/medium and water it in. Little. ThT stuff will cut up their belly and suck them dry of water and it’s completely natural and inert.First guess is spider mites and that’s just a guess. Get yourself some neem oil and spray away
