HEY,
I am a new indoor grower........ I am growing three plants....
But i am really worried about that I have found some insects

I'm not sure if they're bugs or something else. The plants are just getting leaves ....... those are about an inch high above the soil, and i can see a few tiny little white insects on the stem but barely visible, look like much smaller than fleas.

Any suggestive info would be a pleasure for me.....:smokin:

Could be white flies, if they are that small try rinsing them off with a spray bottle, look on the underside of the leaves as well. Bug bombs would probably work but need to be used every 3-5 days to kill off each new generation. Under the right conditions some of these insects can multiply rapidly.

some of the soils have the white and black fly eggs in them and will infect a grow room. I had a batch of miracle grow from the local hardware store that had some of the white flies in it. Luckily, they are pretty harmless and can be gotten rid of very easily by hanging a pest strip or two in the room. There are sprays and oils that can help protect against the more harmful bugs like spider mites, but I would be very leery of using any of this stuff on such young plants for something as harmless as a white fly.
