tidyboy1981 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Using a IWS flood and drain and I’ve just flipped to flower and I’m finding little white bugs in my pots around the roots. Plants have got slight yellow tips but healthy. Any ideas folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Cream Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Springtails I should think! On the leaves picture would make it easier plus medium grown in and nutrients plus room heat light etc. sounds like your feed is a little on the strong side if there’s a slight burn on the leaf tips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 As mentioned above, a photo or two would help with identifying the visitors What feed strength are you running? How's the environment? Atb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwell Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Rinse aid from a dishwasher breaks the surface tension of the water and they drown but theirs usually a few that survive but it keeps the numbers down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
