eating my stems

usually dont have a problem when it gets colder out but for some reason i have these little bugs all over the place .. they have already eaten atleast 3 plants.. they are at the very bottom at the stem and are eating them until they fall over. no webs so not sure if there spider mites .. ive never had something like this.. any help would be greatly appreciated

haha 3 plants?? get some new soil, supplies, clean out your grow station, and make sure to throw away all of your old equipment, better yet sterilize the fuck out of them

forgot to mention, grow in a box and make sure no bugs can get inside. good luck

3 are dead but almost all of them have signs .. anyone heard of them?

never heard of em. where do you live, U.S.?

What do they look like? - maybe a severe case of root aphids? just a guess...

if your really looking for a solution purchase some ladybugs they'll protect your crop. no bull

little bugs that have yellow and black in them .. i have seen these in my room before .. they feed on the leaves and this is the first time i actually seen them eat the stem in two?

bust out the airless sprayer and pyganic.
