A few questions to help me Please

[smiffylufc24]

Hey all again,
I am doing another grow and i went to feed her today and i noticed little what looks like worms in the soil they was not spider mites or anything like that but as soon as i saw them i panicked. As soon i fed her they disappeared. The plant looks healthy and as nothing under the leaves i was just wondering how would i approach this situation to stop them.

My second question is i have read loads about cuttings and how to keep them but as you can see in the picture i took two cuttings 1 from Super cheese and 1 from Critical i have no rooting gel but i do have rooting bio plus which i place in water dipped in there and put one in water and the other straight in the soil with the problem will i be able to sort anything and what am i doing wrong thanks.

Place a potato sliced side down on top of the medium for a few days. After 3 or 4 days check the underside of it for larve. Sounds like you could possibly have root aphids or fungus gnats.....

Were those worm looking creatures Pen Head small and brown ? On the clones issue try more humidity around them. When is the last time you watered, or is that coco? looks a little dry on top

Why did you put clone in with same mother plant? You need high RH to get the clone to set down a healthy root system. Also your nuts might b right for the larger plant but could kill the clone. I am no expert but good luck

Cuttings need very high humidity in order to root. It may take a miracle for yours to grow especially in the same pot as the mother. For future reference, keep cuttings and different plants in general in their own medium. Easier to manage, no need to transplant later, and no worries about one entangling and killing the other. Good luck.

As for the worms, they may not be harmful to your plant. Earthworms are good to have in soil because their excrement is great fertilizer.

take a 2 to 4 inches of soil out of top of pot,throw away the soil, replace with paver sand (home depot ) in garden section, no more gnats ,its what i did and have been doing to all my plants(its from watering to much)​

The larve(little worms as you call them)like to feed on the potato and helps you identify the rate of infestation and the exact pest. Replacing the slice every 3 days helps control their numbers and helps you monitor population... Preditor Nematodes are one of the most effect ways I have found to control soil born pests...
