Yeah, P don't give a shit.Skin flute? Rusty Trombone?..... so many possibilities!
On the root aphids... yes it can look like a heavy Mg demand for a bit, then as it escalates it starts looking like a nute toxicity and deficiency at the same time.
Turns out what I thought were root aphid larvae my actually have been springtails... which are not a problem! I did see an adult mite or aphid of some kind as well, but maybe I didn’t have root aphids
Just going through some of the photos and thinking I mis-diagnosed the first time round. Jury is still out LOL!
Oh and fungus gnats are larger than the flying form of root aphids, but still visible to the naked eye. ANd yes, you should be able to see root aphids through your loupe

Do you know if they stay near the surface like fungus gnats, or do they go deeper?

This i dont know. I did read, about their ‘habit’, that the flying stage root aphids travel upwards towards the light from the surface of the soil - they don’t fly around so much apparently - although that’s going to be tricky to gauge in a grow tent with fans going!

I'm paranoid about them now so I'll be keeping a close eye on things. Hopefully I'll luck out.This i dont know.

This is fairly decent page of info on them and getting rid of them.

How to spot and organically control root aphids. A growing problem, especially among indoor growers, and spreading through parts of the country where they haven't been seen before.

Oh and mine were grey in colour, not white like that. They come in many colours apparently! LOL!

Are they more active after watering? I haven't seen that info anywhere.
They like wet medium, but I don’t remember reading anything about them more or less active after watering...

Everyone is has spots today! Yay!!!!!!! Let's look shall we?
I'm going to need a mental break after this grow.

Oof! Is there anything moving on your soil after you water? Amy seemed to be able to spot things crawling around pretty easily.
I dunno Shed... maybe the first diagnosis was right of a Ca and mag def. She's not seeing bugs, showing the same signs as the other GZ. Is it still lacking nutes? That tip burn seems like nute burn to me. I know the two are similar as it was discussed earlier, but it's not liking the extra food imo.
IKR! Back down to 5.5g and back to cal-mag are you thinking?
