Worms in the roots

[fhydro]

Hi,
i use a bubbler system and some buckets are infested with little white worms with a black head that seem to eat the roots or contaminate the plant. Does someone know what's that mess and how to get rid of these fucking worms ? With H202, how much ?
Thanks

I haven't been in it long but I don't remember reading about worms in hydro water. I would like to know also. Sounds strange. Are they effecting the plant very bad ? I would like to see a pic of them. It might help the guru's.

doesn;t sound good.. Were the buckets dirty to start with? how did the worms get there? How come they don't drown.?

I guess you want answers not more quetions ?
LOL

Yeah... start with some Hydrogen peroxide...

how much? 3tsp per gallon of 3% H2o2... the kind you by at walmart for 99 cents.

The worms probably won't like that .. : ) a pic would be nice..


oooooooooo

Thanks, Garden... I used a bucket lid to grow bamboo with a bubbler and natural light. I guess that some flies or kind of insect contaminated that lid. After i used the same lid to grow AK47 from seeds and i noticed that a few worms were beneath the lid and on the netpots. I put a little H202 but 2 weeks later i found other worms on the roots. They seem to eat the roots, that's the problem. The plant after is very light green, with weird colors on the leaves. The worms don't drown because they stay over the water level hung in the roots. Sorry can't take pics, can't connect my digital camera to my computer, computer is too old. So every day, i check the roots and kill the worms between to fingers. I will try more H202.

I also seem to have somewhat of a worm prob but they are NOTHING like the ones people seem to be talking about. Really skinny maybe a mm across and 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long. Like a tan color w/ slightly darker segmented stripes. They are too small to get any decent pic of it with the Kodak easy share i have. Any idea what these could be? It sure dosent seem like any caterpillar ive ever seen. I haven't yet seen them on the plants at all (on or off light cycle) they just seem to be in the dirt I saw one and the other one I have seen was in this tray thing I have under the bucket to fill w/ water and keep the humidity up.
Please Help

Just sprayed the plants and surrounding area with Safer bug stuff. That should take care of it.I hope.
