Hello rollitup, I'm having a bug issue. I did some research and it seems to be fungus gnat larvae. After killing a male plant I broke open the dirt & found a BUNCH of worms. I previously had fungus gnats and covered about 1 inch of the dirt with beach sand. That got rid of the flying gnat problem, but the larvae still remains. any advice on what I can do to get rid of them and how to prevent this from happening to future grows?
also I'm using potting soil mixed with organic compost with Foxfarm nutes.
Here's a few that I picked out, is my observation correct (gnats larvae)?
oh also I heard these pests like to munch on the roots, can this have turned my plant hermie/male?
