well, cheer up, you learn with each grow ... read the Grow FAQs, and do some research (especially recommend ANY grow books by either Mel Frank or Ed Rosenthal, available online from Amazon.com) ... research would have made it clear to purchase quality potting soil, which would have eliminated your chances of getting 'worms' (I have to admit, the 'worms' thing was the first case I ever heard of) ... just read a good basic growing manual, and do what it says, don't cut corners, and be aware there are plenty of posts in this forum, as well as every forum on the internet, that are just plain WRONG ... plenty of inexperienced bullshitters just repeating some myth they have read, or overheard ... use common sense :smokin:
