Been having this small problem for years now but never gave a S@#$ about 'em cuz things have usually been all good in the end. It doesn't matter where the clone comes from or if its from seed I always get these little worm like bugs on the roots, in any medium: soil, coco, rockwool and dwc. They look like worms but are not. Under a 10x scope I can see they have a segmented bodies a round head with pair of antenna's and 6 or 8 legs. There are no flying insects around to lay eggs and i have no clue as to how these bugs even appear. All I can think of is sometimes small algae forming on top of the rockwool might have these start as microscopic bugs that grow to what I have now.
I have been able to kill them with Azamax and Zone in DWC. So I'm just trying to find out what these bugs are. These are the best pics I could get with my outdated camera.
