A friend of mine brought over his plants because they were going to die outside. he used some organic soil that smelled like SHIT literally. One of the plants got infested with some sort of maggots, it started to die so i just threw the damn thing away. Now the other two plants have a bunch of little bugs crawling in the soil. It must be a million of them. They are tiny and just all over the soil. Does any one know what these are or what i should do? This is only my 3rd grow, so i am unsure what i should do. They have not spread to my plants yet. Should i just throw his in the trash/. lol, they still look healthy though, but i dont want my crop to get messed up.

Thanks for any advice

sounds like root maggots to me check this out
Repression: Maggots will be undetectable until hatched.
Predators: Parasitic nematodes Steinernema feltioe or Heterorhabditis bacteriophara will control maggots
Manual Removal: Impossible given the damage is taking place underground.
Spray: Using a soil drench of neem and horticultural oil will poison all root maggots and maggot eggs that are present.

I would get ya some neematodes and go from there.
Good Luck
