Disgusting stupid looking worms

[carlos rayess]

those worms are living in the soil .. i'm growing my weed in a pot and i noticed them yesterday.

my plant is 4 months old .. looking fine and growing daily ..

my friend told me it's ok, because worms exists in nature and near all plants and nothing to worry of .

please don't tell me that those little worms are eating my roots

its been 4 months now if they were eating the roots since that long, my weed would've been dead now, right ?

They look like fungus gnat larvae to me. Do you have any gnats flying around?
I think they're pretty safe. Just a nuisance mostly.

I must correct myself. They do indeed eat roots. Check out the advice on how to get rid of them in the pictorial post at the top of the thread list.

i made a quick experiment ... i froze some worms to sub zero temperature using propane gas ( lighters gas ) ... they were frozen immediately ...

i left them for long time now, they look pretty much dead .. the gas will evaporate immediately and i'm assuming that it won't hurt my plant ..
what do you think ?

I think MJ plants don't like cold. I'd stay with a more traditional cure if I were you.
