Can you please help me ID bugs? A beneficial mite and a fungus gnat or root aphids?

Saw a flyer in the soil today. Had to kill it though so it's a bit smashed on the photos. The yellow mite is really tiny and on one photo you can see the tweezer's end for comparison. Should I let the soil dry out and then continue watering with BTI/botanigard once a week?

Black one looks like a Fungus Gnat. And the other is a soil mite i think..

2 part, first I found a few black dots (picture added to this week) which I thought might be pests but didn't move - research says it could be catapiller droppings but can't find any of those - what else could they be? Second I did find a spider chilling assume he's good?

Pest Control/Prevention before flower?Noticed this on one of my leaves, I already had to deal with the mite situation with my cucumber. Are they the cause of this? or another pest possibly? What methods other then neem oil and my homemade spray can help me fend them off even more?

Hello! I've seen a lot of pictures on this site and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I didn't use any fertilizer. However, today (day19), Nr.1 started the pre-flowering phase. I have seen one pistil coming out. Any ideas why it seems little and slow?Week 3

What kind of pest is this?The pictures of leaves show the symptoms and the microscope pics are of what I believe to be the culprit, suspended in scotch tape for ease of view. With the naked eye they looked like little black spots and they bunched up right below the affected spots.

What are these bugs?Just discovered these little black bugs. I don't think they're flying. They're mostly on the soil. Some were on the stalk but they don't seem to be on the leaves and buds. I'm growing indoors in organic soil. Not sure if these are a problem or if they'll regulate themselves.
