Hi guys, some of you may have seen in the Zumani thead I've been battling with fungus gnats from the get go for my most recent grow. I have dried back my soil massively, but yesterday noticed that there appeared to be some white bugs that I am not so sure are fungus gnats.
Yesterday I gave a BTI soak to the soil, both the plants in the pots and the soil in the container.
I think they may be aphids. Are they? Is my living soil mix ruined/ will I need to start again? Can I dab each leaf in vodka and spray with neem/ castile soap and all will be ok?
Link to the video, they are tiny and super hard to see. Towards the end of the video the insect gets a lot clearer:
a few screenshots:
