Are these springtails "infecting" my DWC bucket? There's no smell and the plant is doing great
Hoodoostarted grow question 4 years ago
I might have a springtail "infection". Can I get some additional eyes on these? Sorry, I don't have a microscope. Tiny, white jumping specks. My googling tells me that they are "springtails" and supposedly harmless or even beneficial. Thoughts?

they look like springtails, they are harmless, but id be changing it out anyway.
They will possibly also be in amongst the roots so don't be too surprised if more appear.

Hello. Quite a few years ago now, 10 or 12, I was using rain water for my hydro, and they came in too. I wondered at that time to. So I let them stay, for a few months, until I realized a lot of them weren't so good for the plants. I think they ran out of food and started eating roots. A few are O.K. almost harmless. Chuck

From what I can find. That's what it looks like to me also. I'm not versed in hydro systems but I think your on the right track. Hopefully this helps! Happy Growing! 🤟😜

Neem oil applicationHi guys, another question. My neem oil came today. What’s recommended usage.. shall I add 1ml/1ltr into tomorrow’s mornings feed? Or should I just make a spray and mist the soil now why it’s dry on top? Or both? It’s not an infestation (yet) just a couple of fungal gnats

What are they? Pinhead size, many, soiltopWhole bunch of these guys living on my soil (BuildaSoil 3.0, second run - re-amended).
They aren't messing with the stalk or plants, can't see the roots obviously though.
I hope and assume some kind of predator mite but there are a metric buttload of these little bastards.
