Ok so i woke up this mornin to check on my seeds which should have been germinating, i look into the paper towel an they are covered in what looks like tiny white maggots or worms and inside the seeds all the potential plant is like a white slush. Any info on these or helps would be great. :confused:
Peace x

Yeh im pretty sure thats them, can't remember the black tops but i think thats them. What the fuck are those lil bastads?!
 

GrowTech

stays relevant.
Do you have gnats flying around at all? The larvae feed on the root system of plants, often killing seedlings before they even come out of the soil.

not worms.
its the tap root.
plant the worm downwards in the soil, its the tap root , the main root.
plant in the soil and the leaves will start to pop out of the soil/

i would change the paper towel.
somthing must have laid eggs in the p.towel.
if thats happening to p.towel, good luck with soil.
maybe get some bug killer and try and get rid of what ever is laying eggs.

heh, you may be right :-P

Professon Gr33n, were they moving when you found them? If not, I'd say crazy-mental is correct. I've never heard of maggots attacking bud seeds, only dead things

fuck, little fuckers.
how long were the worms?1 to 2 mm?.
before you start again.
i would fumegate the area.
next time, put the seeds in a p.towel and put in a cd case or a sealed container.
so no little fuckers get in.

but be carefull this dont happen to your soil grow?.

fumegate
