We really need a pic..of plant/bug. Does your plant show signs of damage?

 

[mrn3wman]

no they look really healthy no signs of leaves getting chomped on but how can i upload pics

If you can't post pic's - describe the insect in detail. many insects will leave little trace in they're wake untill the population starts no grow.

there super small transparent . sum of them are kinda brownish but others are clear . i just looked again but didnt see any

 

[Budders Keeper]

They don't sound familiar. Watch for tiny little specks of discoloration on leaves. Some bugs will just draw out juices rather than chew leaves.

They just need to be resized and uploaded @ manage attachments...least that's how I do it. Manage Attachments

[lordhighlama]

[mrn3wman]

Hello mrn3wman ! This sounds like a complete joke to me ! Pics please ! Take care !

You have Thripes. Look into Azamaz, although it's expensive thripes can breed in soil and it works fantastic as a soil drench and a foliar spray. Thripes are relatively easy to defeat so you should be all set if they havn't got out of control. The feed on organic matter and soft plant growth.

 

[mrn3wman]

well thank you very much jmansweed
will do that imediatly

SafersSoap also works pretty well to control almost all of the insect problems that i've dealt with.... the only exception would be spider mites.... i use horticultural oil for those....

I actually have some of them 2, i dont know how they got there. i think they came in my soil..then theres a few flying bugs around my plants. two of mine have a little brown on one leaf i think from then, not sure.
