Have been having so many issues with this plant , was looking at my coco and noticed these bugs everywhere the video of a tiny pinch of coco there’s like 15 of these bugs. Also worms that don’t look like fungal gnat larvae. I’ve just got this neem oil I’m using as soil drench

Hey Blue Cheese Auto colleague! :) The8thChevron already found the right mold spider i guess! I had mites in former grows, they are hard to eradicate... For myself I would use: 1) spray plant (3 time every 3 days) with: - BAC - plant vitality plus - water-soluble Neem Oil Spray the whole plant except the flowers - also the back of the leaves! 2) Put 5-10 ML water-soluble Neem Oil into one Litre the watering - three times in a row. 3) Pour a bit of Neem Cake (or crushed neem seeds) to floliage the soil. 4) let them dry 2-4 days as much as possible before watering again for a week Greets and peace!

Hi! It’s indeed about a few mites here. I initially thought they were baby predatory mites, which would have been handy and could help your plants, but I think the fungus gnat (as The8thChevron points out) is more obvious. You mentioned that there aren’t too many of them and that you’re already using neem oil. You’ve already found the solution yourself😉 This should normally be enough, and they should go away. I wouldn’t worry too much about stress, since you mentioned you’ve already had a lot of problems. Since you’ve bought the neem oil, I would definitely use it, but be careful with it. Make sure to read up on it. Good luck!🤙🌱

Tyrophagus putrescentiae I believe. Dogs commonly bring them into the house although they can get in any number of ways. Its a fungus mite that won't really hurt your plant. Getting rid of them can be as easy as letting your coco dry out completely. Your plant won't be happy not getting water, but it should decimate their population. Other option is just living with them although they will keep breeding.
