Actually found it by accident. Was leaching my plant, I was setting my plant inside of a 5 gal bucket with a brick underneath. Set plant back into one of those clear plastic saucers that go underneath. Caught a couple inchs of water, so was gonna dump it to. Noticed little white worms, and i mean little, maybe couple centimeters long and not as thick as a hair. Been reading and thinking maybe gnat larvae. Although never saw any gnats but have a lot of air flow. how can i kill these things?
About 6 weeks into flowering and fans are yellowing with brown spots and falling off.

Diatamaceous earth!! Is all I gotta say! It can be bought almost anywhere. Just put a layer of it on the top layer of the soil. It kills any bug as it emerges from the soil and prevents them from re-producing. I also heard something about Neem Oil preventing gnats and other bugs... look into it. It can be applied by foliar.

Looking at pics and relooking at worms, doubting if gnat larvae now. Thinking has to be nematodes. Looked up some pics and look like them to me. Was to many to be gnats and can't find any on top of soil. Anyway, I"ve leached a lot out today. How can I rid my plant of these critters?
