    Odd insect and gnarly leaves

    Thank you for accepting me to this forum! I am not a newbie to growing but have never come across this before. I currently have three plants, wedding pie. They were gifted to me as clones. I started to notice growth issues and found tiny little worms in the veins of leaves. I can't get a picture of the worms but the little bugger I did get was dead on the leaf after I sprayed them with Organishield. This picture was taken through a loupe and the bug was about the size of a gnat. Google is telling me it's a wasp!?! My new growth is looking gnarly now but only on one plant. My other two ladies are fine. My set up is all ac Infinity, I use roots organic lush soil and nutrients used are Jack's and bloom city. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    Formally SucraShield have not used it myself and could not find anything that stated it is safe on buds, but decays in like 5 days. Did find something that said safe under lights (I would say turn them off anyway).
    Good luck,
    some info below for those that wish for more.

      Thank you for the replies! I have only spotted the worms on only that one plant. Maybe I should remove it and take the loss??? Also going to try an organic spray that contains thyme and peppermint oils. Thoughts?

        I forgot to add, no they were not grown outdoors but they did travel by car across a few states to get here.

          That looks like a wasp to me but I do not know of any wasp that has worm larvae. Wasp larvae hatch from eggs into maggots.

          There are some parasitic worms that do infect wasps also.
