OK. I just planted my new crop of seedlings and found this on the top ofy seedlings. I believe it's from the new soil (happy frog) I just purchased. Here's a couple of pics under 30x loupe. Sorry pics are not great. Can you identify this bug for me?

Any fertilized soil "happy frog" or Any guano based additive will contain bug larvae or bugs. Problem solved. Coco

Thanks Dirtyeye but right now im growing in soil and subs super soil recipe. Maybe down the line I'll try coco. Thanks for the recommendation though.
 
Whatever bug it is i just hit it with a dose of azamax. And ill do weekly switches between that and neem oil with a soil drench. Hopefully i won't have to start all over. Wish me luck.
 
Its gnat season. How big is the body? It looks like a gnat but it's big. Maybe put a quarter beside it?

I top dress with perlite. Some people use DE. I keep dunks on hand but never had it get that bad.

Try to get some fans going, blow them around and make it a real pain to be a bug in your tent.
 
I cut the yellow sticky traps in half and set one on the top of each pot - then hang a few.
If I see that there's a ton of them getting caught, I'll do a drench.

Thanks swim. You're always a help. But no these things are little as hell. That photo was under a 30x magnifying glass. So that can show how small they are.

Slump I'm already on it. Bought those today when I bought the azamax. Plus I have the fan pointed at the solo cups they're in. Ironically I've only seen one bug on it. Lol. The rest are dirt and perlite specs.
