Looks like soil mites, they make their home in potting soil as they are scavengers that eat fungi, tiny dead insects, algae, dead plants, and tiny live worms. For plants, these little bugs are beneficial rather than harmful. They actively breakdown decomposing organic matter available mainly in the top layer of the soil.

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

Are these springtails "infecting" my DWC bucket? There's no smell and the plant is doing greatI 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?

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?

neem oil soil drench, is it safe?I've seen two ways of using neem oil to get rid of gnats, foliar spray and soil drenching. I've done the foliar spray but was hesitant to drench the roots in neem oil.. I guess by only doing the foliar spray the larva are still eating the roots.. I just wanna make sure thanks 🙏Week 4

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?

Organic/Natural Bug Control OutdoorsBugs have been nibbling on my outdoor ladies. I'm looking for tips/suggestions for controlling bugs organically/naturally. I am growing Basil, Chives, Oregano and Spearmint around the ladies in an effort to help deter bugs. But that's not working as well as I had hoped.
