Found these on my roots…Think they mosquito larvae.


Roots look healthy otherwise.

Not sure what to do about them!?

Not sure what the worm is… but you definitely want to turn off the drippers once your roots hit the water… if not , you will end up with trunk rot and they will damp off… :wink:
Other than that , looks good…:grin:

Hmm… perhaps run some H2O2/water mix to see if you can’t kill off those things? @crazyots have you seen larvae like this in a DWC grow before? First time for me…

Could be, I am not 100% sure here, I am looking around not seeing anything close.

This may be some hope here.

I am almost 100% certain they mosquito larvae… they also move like them.

Not that stressed out about it see what happens… I reckon it could have some benefit. "A mosquito larva eats constantly since it needs a lot of energy to grow. Mosquito larvae eat algae, plankton, fungi and other microorganisms in the water. "

But the downside is when they mature you have a bunch of mosquitoes attacking you in your grow room. Lol

You can… you just dont want it spraying into the net basket… also if you run that pump constantly , it might start to heat up the water and that’s not good either… put it on a timer to run 30 min every 6 hours if you really want to run it for circulation… :wink:

Fresh nutes today, no sign of the mosquito larvae.

Thinking of getting one of these for a flowering room. https://growopz.com/collections/grow-lights/products/bridgelux-vero29-gen7-cob-grow-light?variant=30226212169
