All i can think of is cuts i took in this summer and was gifted suprise thrips . Maybe this is Hypoaspis miles he bought trying to eradicate thrips. I don't think they lived very long tho. This took me like an hour i missed 2 others with camera thats when i grabbed it on my hand. It fits in the groove of fingerprint to give an idea of size. Showered and checked other pots didnt see any but my older 1g dont have hairy roots like my seedling cups. I'll take pictures tonight .

Hopefully someone can point me in right direction here if it is a bad bug i would like to treat asap this was other picture its bad tho this guy seemed more white but same fast soil cruise. IVE Only ever learned the HARD way. This is another great reason to use beans.

Check the leaves undersides and see if you have anything going on there. Thrips would be hanging out there. A good USB microscope would help out alot. Especially taking in new cuts it's good to look em over for mildew or bugs before you even quarantine them and than a good look over before you bring em out

Thats why I hate accepting cuts from others. It’s always risky. I stopped altogether, but when did would keep them in quarantine for their first run. I never had a bad experience but learned from plenty of other horror stories. Maybe I’ll go back to it if legalization ever arrives.

 

[Waxman420]

Thrips have been gone for months 2x spinosad is all that took

Maybe I’ll go back to it if legalization ever arrives.

I hope it does soon.

 

[Dustjesus]

I have never seen a bug like that honestly. I am reading that correctly that it was in your soil?

 

[Heisen]

Almost looks like a root aphid

Springtail? Do they run around and jump?

I think those are root aphids.

Statiolaelaps scimitus i was told if it moves fast its a good bug. Couldn't find another 1. I guess if you have root aphids you cant miss them. I think my roots are getting a little too cold @ lights out. but these werent too bad ? Or are they

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Statiolaelaps scimitus just seen a post in the PFA i think you are right

 

[WebstersBallSack]

Yeah I couldn't identify the little twat either. But googling the above it sure looks like that or a form of that.
Its a good bug by the looks of it.

That's a Stratios (Hypoaspis). They'll hang out and break your thrip cycle but they never really go completely away. They'll lurk in the shadows and eat prey if it shows up.

That’s what I was gonna suggest. Knew a person that had that once. Had to dunk the roots/ pot with some concoction to get rid of them.

 

[Green_256]

interesting, but I have no idea! just subbing for any info yall may find!

 

[Texagonian]

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
