I have about 10 seedlings that are about 2 weeks old. This morning, I used a 30x jeweler's loupe to examine their leaves. About half of them have 1 or 2 things that look like worms (on the UNDERside of the leaves). Tiny even at 30x magnification.
They are very light red in color, with no obvious spots. And they wiggle. But they have no legs that I can see.
Are these maybe gnat larvae? I have a few gnats in the grow cabinet from time to time.
Or are they dreaded spider mites?
I'm buying a 200x USB digital microscope today so I can take pictures.
