Super small black pests.

[sgt. schultz]

I have some type of super small black bugs that I didn't even notice til I went for some clones, which have all died. Best description I can give is maybe 10 or 20 percent the size and shape of this hyphen -. With my 4x magnifying glass, I still can't see legs. They don't jump, fly or make webs. I clone with styrofoam floating in water with airstones and first saw them crawling on styro after sticking in 3 or 4 cuts. Most rooted then died after transplant. Leaves on mothers are now becoming mottled, pale green and curling a little. Can't show pics here in the Bible belt. Help me eradicate please! Sarge

Major Bummer for Sgt. Shultz. Have to suspect the microscopic yet mighty root aphid. I'm pretty sure they are from outer space. Plenty of info for you all over this place for RA's. Good luck buddy.
