Hello everyone, so i have found some new bugs in my room. I really wish i could post a picture but don't have nearly good enough camera to do so. so hopefully i can describe them. I have two. the first i think i have identified. they are small white crawling in the soil only notice them when i am watering and they come to the surface as the water is settling into the soil. I believe them to be springtails. I hope. The second bug is about twice as big and black. no wings, narrow. and its ass end sticks up. ( i think it looks the same way a scorpions ass sticks up) Seen only a few on the floor around my pot one on surface of soil and one on the rim of the pot.
I have just started growing in soil. and this plant was gifted to me in this container. It has happy frog soil in it that was "fluffed". I added about 2 inches of roots 707 to the top of the soil. no particular reason it just seemed like the pot needed to be filled more for stability and 707 is my soil of choice.
This plant has only received tap water. Today was the first day it received feed. I gave it age old bloom and age old kelp. 6.5ph during today's feed is when i noticed these bugs.
I got this plant about 10 days ago. i have watered 3 times. i water when i can put my finger into soil and not feel any moisture. When i received this plant she was beautiful and green. today she is losing her color and have lost more than a dozen leaves to yellowing. some of the leaves have small areas of necrosis along center vein.
I figured it was lack of nutrition. This plants probably at least 5-6 weeks old. without ever getting fed. However, it was healthy and green when i got it and now only about 10 days later is yellowing and loosing leaves. its in a 5gal pot. only other difference between my grow room and the room it came from, was i have it under a 600 w hps and he had it under multiple LEDs and Floros its been in 24 hr light until i got it i started going down to 18/6 and then today is start of 12/12.
But then i saw the bugs and i also feel like it doesn't have as strong of a root mass as it should so i began thinking the bugs are bad bugs and destroying my roots and causing the yellowing and lose of leaves. o and its not just fan leaves, its big and small leaves.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have been reading up on caps bennies, if i start feeding with those would that help with these bugs???
