I have been a medical patient and grower for 10 years now and I have never seen anything like this nor my colleagues who are just as experienced as i. I have microscopic white dots covered all over my hydroton rocks that are in my waterfarm system. I can't post a pic of them bc they are so small but they almost look like salt build up from the nutrients but the dots are perfectly spaced on the rocks and when you stare at them, some of them are moving ever so slowly. Therefore, it is NOT salt build-up; some of the dots are eggs and the other (moving) dots are either the layers or the new hatchies.
They are obviously feeding on my roots because when you pull the top bucket out of bottom reservoir and you touch the roots, they desintegrate. They're not on the stalk, nor are they on the leaves either. The leaves on the plants that have the worst infestation in the rocks are now turning yellow and dropping off the plant. I'm only 4 weeks into flower and usually NEVER get yellow leaf loss and only some plants (the worst infested) are turning yellow. I have used Go Nats, Neem Oil, and Azamax for the bugs, and SM-90, Hygrozome, House&Garden Roots Stimulator, and Great White for my roots. Normally my roots are gleeming white with these additives, leading me to further believe the bugs (white dots) are feeding on my roots and nothing else.
My vege room does not have any bugs at all and 2 plants I recently moved into my flower room (w/bugs), 2-3 days later, started showing the dots too! The bugs are obviously traveling via the reservoir and the additives I have used in my reservoir to kill them are not working!
PLEASE HELP!!! Thx all!
