Definitely extend another week, maybe even 2, just post an update if you’re not sure then.
Probably wait for the top growth to reach underneath the second fan before flipping to transition :wink:

great job on the haircut, I would let her ride at least 5 days without anything else, she should bush up nicely! your plant look is looking great so far :herb:

If your talking about the little fine white stringy looking things? Long and short? I believe it’s your roots. Mine did the same and is still growing more. I think it’s fine IMO. But definitely get some more opinions here. Great place :+1:t2::sunglasses:

I don’t know how much if any help I will be but moment I saw that creature - Flashback- I still know nothing about them-what they r or where it came from --mine was at the bottom of a very over watered soil in a (big gulp cup ) I found that nasty thing swimming with I believe a bazillion Knats/fruit flys–bad–I was doing alot wrong! I can tell you they do not like peroxide Warning get better remediation techniques as I wont have any part in killing anyones babies. I put a capful of 3% peroxide into the sludge of bugs I was growing-after a twitch or 2 -well u get it. I thank u 4 the post and subn just so I can c how I really should have dealt with them. Oh in case there was any ? yes I am M.R.Good luck n HappyGrown 2 all :)

its not a leech. im thinking its a “drain fly” or “moth fly” or more adequately named “toilet fly” larvae,
either way, member of the psychodidae family. dark gray to black in color, found near/in sinks and tubs.

chances are there was one in the plumbing, laid eggs, and the eggs migrated thru the tubing, into your hydro set up. they eat ORGANIC MATTER as larvae and pupae, so you must remove them
the trick is hot water on the roots. not boiling water, but make it hot (steamy?)

rinse the shit outa everything else tho (basin/reservoir, tubing, pumps, thermometer (if you got one in the water), water heaters, etc.

all good man, just clear them out before they eat them roots. once they become flies, they lay eggs again, then youll be dealing with hundreds/thousands of them. so deal with it asap.

they vary in color a bit, but i think you get the idea:

It looks to me like a fly or moth larvae I feel they will die within a week or so I would try to pull them off with tweazers so they dont die and fall in your res, or you open the lid one day and be swarmed by god knows what they will turn into! :joy:

I would not use hot water though just manually get as many as you can and check back daily for a week or so to make sure you got them all!

just my 2 sense, happy growing

Do you see any little black flies in the top of the unit. I had the same problem but they were in my cocopod, not the root area. If it’s fungus gnats they turn into those little black flies. I would add a cap full of 3% peroxide in the water. And for the top maybe sprinle some diatomaceous earth on the top of the cocopod but make sure its not soaked. The top of the cocopod should be as dry as possible. They live in the coco and go to the top when ready to hatch. The diatomaceous earth basically rips they outer skin whennthey try to pass it. I also recommend to not lift up and expose your roots or keep checking them for many reasons. They dont like light. If you notice a lot, you might want to rinse off the roots quickly in water gently and try to leave the lights low to not stress out the plant too much. I hope this helps somewhat.
