white flys are found on the foliage. usually undersides of the leaves... who ever said root aphids, prolly right.. but you might have fungus gnats
if you let your pots dry up every once in a while, maybe once every 2 weeks it will bring down the population... if that sounds retarted then you cant beat fly strips.. the kind you pull apart length wise? lol.. put about 5 of them up in various locations and youll be just fine...
bayer fruit in citrus works well for controlling them but can only be used in veg.. if not controlled root aphids can take a crop out in a few weeks. but with the sticky traps and letting your pot dry a lil here and there will get you by no probs... dont be frightened... if you find one post a pic.. fungus gnats can be pretty harmless, but they spread diseases. they have fat bodies and fly slow..root aphids have skinny bodys big wings and are kinda fast

No jumping, these things are tiny. I was looking up fungus gnats but fungus gnats seem to be more like worms rather than bugs, these things are round. Wayy to small to snap a picture, I'd say they are the size of a resin gland, roughly. I have seen a few flying things but only 1 or two didn't get a close look. And it was just outside the tent so I wasn't sure if it came from the tent.
Also I always let my coco dry out before watering.
I think i know what did it.
When I bought the tent I didn't pick up a fan as my buddy has one but he can't bring it until wednesday. I wake up around 11:30am plant wakes up at 8am... The past 2 days when i have woken up I have opened the window and a few exhaust ports on the tent and it gets it down to 80ºF, which works during the day until I get the fan. Though since the plant woke up at 8 the lights had been on for a few hours in a sealed tent, I have done this the past 2 days. When I opened the tent it was unbelievably hot and humid... Could that have caused this?

This is possibly one of the best single/first grows i have ever seen, you are a lucky one catching this strain make sure to keep a hold of it. Maybe when you are more advanced you could self pollinate one of your clones and get some fem seeds to keep this strain forever.

So I still don't know what these bugs are there seems to be less of them this morning and the tent definitely smelled like bug killer this morning. They are too small for me to identify without a microscope, I will pick one up tomorrow when I am off. I hope I will be able to treat these before they destroy my plant. I took a few photos this morning, they are bad pics but I was short on time. I'll take more soon:

Yes I did, but now I have an issue with these little buggers I have the next 2 days off work so I will be doing some gardening, I'll be picking up a microscope to identify the bugs. I also need to pick up some grow bags and coco to transplant the clones I have been somewhat neglecting them but I just made them some nutes last night which they loved so I need to repot them now. I have them in the closet under the 200W blue CFL. I'll see how it does on it's own for veg.

Haven't measured recently I'll check it out on one of my breaks today though, last measurement a week or so ago was about 3 ft wide and 20 inches tall. That is a 4x4 tent if that gives you an idea. Also disregard the position of the lights in the photo I moved them to take the pics.
I've just moreso been freaked out by these damn bugs, I don't like having that No Pest Strip in my place it just gives me bad vibes but if it gets rid of the bugs I'm willing to take a little risk, after all there are so many pollutants around anyways, as soon as the bugs are gone though that thing goes too.
I guess the closest thing these look like are the root aphids or the spider mite larvae, still not seeing any on the plant itself though which makes me wonder. I may just be missing it as there is a lot of bush to inspect. I'll thoroughly investigate with the microscope soon.

Just checked on the bug situation I am seeing hardly any of these guys and the ones I am seeing are smaller than the ones I was seeing, I have yet to see an adult or large bug they just look like moving white specks of dust. There are way less than there were, I actually had to search for them. I think this NPS might be doing it's job.

Hey recently two out of my 3 seeds sprouted. Can anyone tell me how I should water it now? Do i lightly pour water onto where the stem is planted and around the pot as I did with the seedling? Currently these are in 5 pound buckets and are under 3 75watt CFL lights with reflective walls. If someone could let me know it would he greatly appreciated. Thanks

We would need more information, I suggest starting your own grow journal and letting people know what your setup is and ask for help there. It's courteous to not hijack someone's thread
There are a lot of great people here who would love to help, thanks!

your gonna see super tiny bugs in the coco from time to time. but untill you see populations of them or winged root aphids they are nothing to worry about.. your plant is already near half done and looks perfect.. everything will be fine.. the no pest strip emits a chemical that may soak into the plants foliage? i would kick it out

Just checked on it again, there are quite a few of them not a ton but enough that they can easily be found. Here are the best pics I could get of them. So you are saying get rid of the pest strip and just let the bugs be?
