Looks to me like either click beetle larvae or less likely cutworms. Curious to see what the actual outcome is, might teach a few of us something!

Thanks, I will update. This is my set up. Thinking of taking the 4 plants out and dunk them each into a bucket of water and H2O2

How the hell could a beetle get in here?

2 species. Drain fly and moth fly. Out of 8 plants, 2 were shit as the damage to the roots was too far and the 6 gave me a good harvest but couls have been wayyyyyy better considering to long Veg.

@zimbogro Not sure if this thread is completely dead, but did you ever find out what this was? I cant tell if it’s a larva or a nematode, but I have found them in my aeroponic system, crawling around inside the reservoir and in the plant roots for both my cannabis system and a system I’ve been growing a bunch of different plants. It might’ve hitched a ride in the soil of a mint plant that I put in the system to test if soil plants can acclimate to aeroponics. I looked as it under the microscope and here’s the image I got at x40.
