Same happen to me I'm still fighting them I've never had a bug before and I'm new to coco and I guess top feeding can cause problems luckily there mostly just a pest its larva that's the problem I watered with beneficial microbes and let it dry some first they hate dry dirt I'm still fighting the adults tho it's been a pain
Read up on it first, but a flush with peroxide/water kills the larvae without damaging the roots. I think it's about a 20:1 or 30:1 ratio.

if your soil fill the top of the pot with perlite 2 inches deep .
Water from bottom only alowing the top to dry out .
Also cover drain holes with tape before and after watering .
The perlite with dry up the nesting area at the top and the hole covered will prevent them from invading the bottom .
Throw in some yellow stickys to catch the adults .
These are pretty much the exact steps I took to prevent them in the future great advice

Garden veggies planted. The wife germed the seeds, not quite enough water in paper towels. So, I started with fresh Tomato seeds. The rest should pull through.
I rigged a little screened-in greenhouse thing on my back porch. I have about a dozen tomatoes and peppers in there, and cooking herbs, but the bulk are outside getting better sun and rain-water. But I know that after the Japanese Beetles attack that will eventually happen, and other critters, I should have a dozen plants that are bug free even if they are smaller and slower.

I've seen the pics of feeding steps on the other page. I hadn't planned on specific pics of it with 4 different nute systems I am running, but it might be worth a pic or two when I am into heavy feeding with 27 different things on 4 plants ;)
