Check greengeenes garden root aphids video on YouTube. Shows the root aphids and what he does to get rid of them. The guy I knew with the same problem did basically the same thing but I didn’t make a video. Sorry I don’t know how to link the video on here. Hope that helps
That's the main reason why I quite growing in dirt. Never bought any kind of dirt that didn't have aphids or gnats in em.
I had 6 plants I was keeping as mother's I just chunked because of that.
I even soaked the rootball under water for 48 hrs and they were still crawling all over the roots when I pulled it up.

Thanks for all the responses ive been staring at roots all week found another 1 in a chopped plant. And 1 fungus gnat larvae . (man that was creepy looked like the underground monster in that kevin bacon movie) . Chomp there goes another root hair .
Obviously these arent really a problem , damn curious where the little fucker came from tho my guess it came with an aloe plant or a poinsetta type of deal. Makes me want to take another look at hydro.

I read some horror stories over @ilICMag people selling everything moving across town to get rid of aphids . Stories of them dancing on edges of pots at lights out, half the yeild. if they finish.
Glad to know its just my noob ways . I went with supersoil for the 1st time. I kept reading do dont let media completely dry on top it needs to be kept moist for the microbes . Well that fucked me right there, daily misting brought gnats m.f.ers.

If there is anything I've learned about bagged dirt is don't buy the bag if it's heavy (wet)' and/or stored on pallets outdoors. The fix is to make a large steamer and steam your soil in batches or microwave large bowls of it for a couple of minutes and add back safe microbes. Honestly, fungus gnats and thrips are just a nusiance. They won't really take out a whole crop unless you really mess stuff up. I guess I have seen fungus gnats gut a sprouting seed before.

I've been dealing with thrips for a while in my main flower room. No where else but their. I'll disenfect everything, spray it down with bleach, pesticides etc. 4 weeks into flower here they come. Start seeing the little grey streaks in the leaves.
