help with a root pest problem! and possible low ph lock out?

i didntmake it exact amounts but i eye balled it close to half ffof and the other half mostly coco and perlite and a large cup you get from fast food places full of worm castings. yea the old soil was packed tight and wet barely any aeraiton going on in there hope fully itll be alot better now alot of new room to grow..

i cut one piece of fabirc 1 x 3 to line the mottom and two sides and then i cut 2 square pieces to fit the 2 sides left open and filled the pot in to keep the fabric in place

if i had used tape to hold the fabric for me as a third hand i couldve got it done in 10 mins total.. but instead i had to fight it to stay up and took 20 mins total including from gathering everything together which is always scattered around here lol and i had to mix the soil twice cause the first batch wasnt enough to fill the crate..

ez pz i have a good bit of fabric left and a few crates i plan on making a few more when time comes for my others to be transplanted i need more soil too.. idk if ill ever get another bag of ffof.. since it needs to be mixed with more perlite at the very least i think mixed with coco perlite and a little worm castings make it alot more complete but thats too expensive if ima have to mix shit ill buy it and mix it myself instead of buying a "complete mix" as an ingredient..

i was gonna try a coco grow but i just used up all my coco gonna get another big brick of it for 15$ on amazon seems to be the best deal ive found on coco what kind soils do you guys use or reccommend?

i figured my ghetto fabric pot was a better choice than a plastic 3-4 gallon pot also itll help with the soil staying so wet..

now i just need a new ph pen im thinking of getting some super thrive as well and im not using any knf korean natural farming stuff on my plants but i am practicing it on my farming stuff,

for now im using mega crop along with some of the go box stuff at 10% doses added into the mega crop here and there i add the humic acid bioroots and the weeds stuff which is seaweed and a little calmag every few doses since mega crop already has some oh and i add half a teaspoon of slilica here and there.

.with all this i dont need to use any knf stuff not to knock the knf stuff its great stuff and its cheap cause you can make it but with mega crop promo going on its the best bang for the buck you can get anywhere.. i think it could use some pk in flowering but other than that it seems to be pretty complete..

not korean style soil its korean style nutrients and fertilizers type of stuff but im still learning about it so im trying it on my veggies and stuff instead of my cannabis while i perfect it and know more of what im doing but i promise ill have a comparison between straight mega crop vs diy/knf stuff i make from scratch.. ima do it once these plants gegt healthy eough to get 2 clones to try it on..

seems to not be getting any worse thats good.. it was yellowing off and dropping leaves pretty rapidly but its more under control now..

youtube it they are smalll tiny almost white in color if u ever think you see any try grabbing a stick and rubbing at them if they jump then you know they are spring tails that or if you watering your plants and some bugs come floating out and are floating on the water they are also most like spring tails... and are harmless
