Hello! I know pictures speak volumes but I'm not able to zoom close enough for it to matter. I'm throwing a hail Mary anyhow by hoping someone might be able to steer me towards something helpful with the info I have. It's week one of flower, the girls look great, and of course I'd like to keep it that way. I need to get a sample of the wormy things to someone in the know but that takes time. Something I don't have much of. So here I am! I presume they're a type of nematode but not sure if they're parisitic or beneficial. I ordered beneficials earlier. It would be time wasted getting clarification if they turn out to be the bad guys and adding good guys can only help. This is my first grow on a somewhat comm scale so I should probably be taking more preventative actions anyhow.
Here's some details on the grow.
I was moving girls around yesterday and noticed tiny worms wiggling around in the light film of water that is under the pots. I have some gnats so assumed it was their larvae and kept doing my thing. But then I remembered that I know what their larvae look like and that ain't them!
The pots sit on raised drain beds covered in black liner, which is the only reason i was able to see them. It was their wiggling that gave them away but the black made them possible to see because they appear whitish/translucent. The dirt is a mixture of foxfarms OF and HF with a bit of coir from black gold. I add a few amendments when potting but nothing I'd think would have nematodes. I feed mostly teas and I'm not sure if that could be a culprit. Possibly from the insect frass?? I use rain water and also reclaimed water from the ACs and dehumidifiers.
If anyone has any input or if I'm leaving something out please let me know!!
