So I went and checked on my girls this morning and they are doing great. I went to check the ph levels and ppm and I noticed little worm like things swimming in the water. What is that? Do I need to change the water in that reservoir? Should I be concerned? I have a total of 10 baby's going and they 1 week 3 days old. I only see it in the one reservoir. Will this come from the rapid plugs?

Probably mosquito larvae. Change water!

[stoner87]

desertdan what caused that?

[desertdan]

Some how at least one mosquito got in to your grow room. maybe sucked blood from you to put its babies in your water. Grow rooms have plenty of perfect places to breed mosquitoes.

Agreed, change water.

So I spoke to advanced nutrients Grower support and I was told to get 39% hydrogen peroxide and add 14ml per gallon to the reservoir.

H2O2 ought to kill the little bastards, but it will also kill all your good bacteria and stuff... I'd say go with the dunks.

alltatup how do you use them?

[alltatup]

Did you read that page? I haven't used them, but I've used gnatrol to kill gnat larvae. Point is, they are safe for roots and I'm very wary of H2O2 in the reservoir right now.

I buy granules and sprinkling all over everything. ☮️

Appears that there were no set backs. Growing beautifully
