million tiny fucks are in my soil but idk if they are good or bad or what they are at all.. please help,

also i think im having phosphorus lock out from low ph. damn ph pen fucked up on me thats two in 3 months..

the heat outside says around low 80's in my area so im not sure if it the heat but my other plants look fine well

i dont think its the heat thats causing leaves to yellow and die off a fe larger fan leaves fell off already thats why ive been trying to keep it inside more but i started to realize this along with purple stems must be a phosphorus deficiency from low ph lock out but my damn pen breaks the same day i realize this..

thanks in advance!

they are very tiny white and you would never know they were there until you water your plant and they come floating to the top and its so many of them that they just cover the surface of the water and every few days id give my plants a really good watering they have multiplied or hatched another shitload it feels like i never got rid of the millions of em just a few days prior and the cycle goes on.. idk what to do about it or if they are good pest and to leave em.. i just wonder if they are effing up my roots cause i have a poor root system..
 
I think the soil was so wet so you could see the bugs . He said u didn’t notice them until he waters . Just making an assumption.
 
you have fungus gnats. its from over water and heat. get some mosquito bits. it will take a little time 2 get rid of :cool:
 
this is ffof with a little extra perlite and its wet cause i justwatered it thats how the little creatures came out the soil..


more leaves are yellowing im trying to let it dry out some i think it might overwatered some plus i was thought it was a nitrogen deffiency at first so i been trying to feed it and i bring em outside sometimes and it rained the other day i think ima repot it right now
 
i think the soil im using is so shit i didnt know better i thought ffof would be fine but its trash at letting your roots breathe..

should knock off as much old soil as possible and plant into coco perlite and ffof mix 33/33/33 ?
 
thanks for the help guys..

should i knock off as much old diurt as possible or try and be gentle and not shake off more dirt than i have to while transplanting and repot in to 25 coco 25 perlite 50 foff or what mix should i do i have worm castings on hand to..i been wanting to repot just didnt want to do it while they didnt look so healthy.. should i take a few clones just in case? i have more yellowing leaves today i guess ill take pics..

oh thats a litter box i sat the plants in to water and catch the water from the top where i was trying to flood these fuckers out i been doing that every few days that could be why its getting overwatered i guess fuck idk if i should wait 2 days to see if itll get better as it dries out or should i go ahead and transplant

do you guys think water/hydrogen peroxide would be a good treatment here?
 
ima just be gentle and repot into something bigger maybe thatll help wick out extra moisture thats already in there im thinking 45%ffof 20% extra perlite 25%coco 10% worm casting which makes 100%
