New Grower Bikini's Royal Queen Northern Lights grow

[Bikini Fettuccine]

Hey guys I was looking in my box just now and on the three feminized seedlings I have, I saw a shitload of little ass white jumping bugs right on the jiffy pucks. I don't know what they are or if they will kill my plants but what should I do to get rid of them. I would post a picture but I don't have a camera good enough. Please help. Thanks

try searching other forums for pictures, or if you can download an ebook on marijuana cultivation they probably have a section on pests and parasites, thats where id look, but if i had to guess what some people would tell you to do, id probably be to get lady bugs.. i know they go ape shit for aphids, but aparently theyll eat any bugs.. i dont know where to buy them though so i cant help you there.. best of luck my friend

Thanks man I don't know what to do, I have some shit that kills aphids, whiteflys, thrips and like a shit load of other plants I sprayed a little on the top of the soil hopefully it won't kill them. The town I am in is tiny and there are not any good stores around here for 2 hours. If i need I will go or order online, jus let me know. Thanks senior :smoke:

Those white jumping bugs are most likely springtails and they are harmless They usually show up after a watering, they live in the bottom of the soil and after you water they come to the top but and eventually go back down.

I hope that is what they are then, how did i get them?

I found a link. If they are springtails you can compare with the photos by capturing one.

Cool thanks alan It was a good informative read, I will have to try and identify them when I get home. Appreciate it

This morning when I checked the plants I could not see any of the bugs so I guess i won't worry about them until they reappear if they do. I took some pics to give you guys a look, I know there is some type of deficiency my pH has been pretty good I will water tomorrow and test the runoff and all that. I will continue to give her some epsom salt and molasses hoping she will get some of her color back. She is 50 days old today and the past few days her buds have grown a ton. Please let me know if you think there are more problems then I stated. The 3 fem seedlings that I have are growing good, I will give pics once they get a bit better. Check out the gigglyjuices on straight808's thread, they are looking good. I hope we get at least three females out of them. Enjoy the pics.

Looking good bikini, if those bugs were springtails then you'll see them again a little while after you water.
