Springflies

I've had springtails in my rdwc system for a few months now with no noticeable issues, I just let them be

Thank you dude. Every comment on here helps. Appreciate it.

This was kinda my fault anyways..I didn't have a fan blowing over the prop and I let the pots rest at the bottom too much in the slight run off

I find Bt (bacillus thuringiensis) is the most effective at eradicating larvae around the rootzone. It's by far the safest option too

@2-Scoops when you mean soap, will fairy do? I'm going to order that eBay one tonight. But in the mean time I'm going to flush it out. And then re-feed as i need to up the feed anyways. Neem oil will take a few days to arrive

Yes fairy Wu mate, its all i use as an emulsifier in anything that needs it like foliar spraying as well.

I'll save myself another tenner then buying their own pink sun gentle soap.emulsifier. you can tell I have zero idea about science

So this is what I'll do..mix neem oil with water and a dash of fairy liquid..

I'll pour through both pots..

And then do I flush straight after with normal water then feed?

Or am I missing something here? Will the roots try and uptake the fairy and oil, especially if they're hungry with no nutes in the pots, if you mean that I just feed them with this neem and water mix over a few days.

Thanks

Nah man, just give it a good root drench with neem/water mix dont fuck about ph`ing it either and miss a feed that day, then 3 or 4 days later repeat then carry on as you are day after with your fert feeds. Basically skip a feed on days you give it a root drench with neem, jobs a good en Wu.

If you mix a 10 litre bucket up up go with a few drops of fairy per litre and neem sweet.

Another point is if you ever do foliar spray thing with whatever you use always add a few drops of fairy per litre. Obviously when you see buds you don`t do that cus you dont wanna be blowing bubbles when you smoke it. But dish soap in itself is a great preventative for bugs in general, im not saying it nailedon to stop bugs but yes im sure get point, Dad swore by it in greenhouse to protect his tomatos.

Oh you got me rambling now but if your prone to bug attacks like you can be lots growing in lofts then just few root drenches in veg on a plant with plenty of rootage with a neem/water mix is a good bug off preventative, plant will take on system properties of neem for while.

Thanks bro. Root drench in essence is just flushing it with neem/water mix right?

At the moment I'm feeding every 2 to 3 days that's why I was a bit concerned that I'll be missing too many feeds and starving them from food.

But I think what you're saying is on feed day, skip it and just give neem and water mix, run through the top of the pots and flush it with it. Wait 2 days and then feed, and then do the same with neem/water again after a couple of days,, then feed again?
