picture of the little shitheads
No I havnt been able to identify them yet. Their is just to many millions of pests to look at. These baby's sure are growing slow though idk if my soil is to dense or what.Have you discover what kind of bugs they are?
You could try predator bugs.

I do have the blue sticky traps but I don't know if it will work. It's worth a try but these things seem to stay under the soil for the most part. They emerge every once and a while but not often. I do not have a moisture meter I guess I can buy one. They're cheap enough I might as well grab one next time I'm out. I know my soil is very dry right now because I'm only watering with a spray bottle so far. The only pesticides I have are peppermint oil, rosemary oil, and cedar oil. I don't think they would be harmful but I'll still hold off. I can not stand the smell of peppermint! So I will hold off on that. I could use hydrogen peroxide to kill larvae. That should wash out within the next 8-9 week or so. First I will try the blue sticky traps and go from there. I really don't see them around the plant it's self. They seem to be living on something in the dirt. Who knows they could be munching on my precious roots! I do appreciate all of the information though. Your a walking book of knowledge now! It looks like you have been doing plenty of research. I would slap you with some rep but u have to spread some around first.We are growing the same strain together.
Lets look closer at pest control. You already know about silicon to toughen up the plant so bugs don't like to chew it. Bugs bring disease and virus.
Do you have some sticky traps? I have tried yellow and blue, yellow works a little better. You can make your own or get something like these. They catch some bugs AND they help you identify the little shits.

Pesticies, yuck! Even the mildest, most natural pesticides are a last resort, never used them on weed. Don't want any residue contaminating my buds. Almost feel comfortable using Spinosad *IF* the buds are water cured. Almost.
Neem is a sticky stinky oil, that stuff is not coming off your plants, but it is supposed to be harmless to humans, not on my buds.
How about growing in a mosquito tent? I do it for outside plants. It really helps.
Can you post a photo of a moisture meter in your soil, like Hazy did on his Journal?
