It looks like it could be a rove beetle. If you have damage they could be there to eat the things causing the damage. Doesn't look like a pest really..

"Spinosad, an insecticide, and Myclobutanil, a fungicide, are not authorized for use with cannabis plants per the Pest Control Products Act, however they are approved for use in food production. The health risks of ingesting either of those two chemicals are well documented."

BT is another insecticide that causes allergic reactions I believe

That Act is from Canada.

I see nothing wrong with using it during veg. Of course don't spray it on your buds and smoke it though.

I'm needing to treat this before I mix dry ammendments and let it sit for 30 days. The only thing I have organicide. Is there another way I need to treat it since I'm mixing it?

That's gonna kill a bunch of stuff. Basically defeating the purpose of adding EWC. Not to mention killing a bunch of good stuff you need to break down those organic amendments.

I was going to put the Pro mix in buckets , drench then flush tomorrow or 2 days before mixing

How To Grow Your Own Rove Beetles & Save Lots of Money By building a Rove Beetle Farm

A few years ago I got fed up with buying rove beetles. They are just so damn expensive to be blatantly honest. That being said, I also feel they are an integral part of a no-till growing environment indoors. They are some of the best soldiers you can have to help you defend against fungus gnats...

Where do the beetles come from though? I believe we discussed this already. Lol

Could I spray the soil down with organicide at full strength since nothing is planted in it and flush it with water ? Maybe it'll work before killing everything with peroxide?

I got the beetles from Nature’s Good Guys. I got 500 because I needed to use some right away, but all you need to start is 50-100 to start breeding. I don’t see the 500 option anymore, but maybe if you messaged them they would do it. Don’t know how many you want

Not 500. Lol.... looks like something I'm gonna be spending more money on lol
How's the knf going? I haven't started it yet. I gotta bunch of bas stuff to go thru first.
