Get some yellow sticky traps and some dr zyme concentrate. That product will cure this problem and many others. Best part is it’s 100% organic!

Hey buddy!
They love yellow sticky traps.
If they are in the soil you have a few options:
Top dress with a light powdering of diatomaceous earth - kills adults by ripping their exoskeletons open and drying them out.
Get some nematodes sf - they eat the larvae but use a TINY amount of the powder.
You can do a neem drench
You can do a H2O2 drench - nuclear option against your substrate microbiology so apply fungus and beneficial bacteria if you do this if you are organics.
If you have been overwatering let the pot dry and they cant fly well so turn the fan up.

Also put some Safers yellow sticky sheets so they get trapped and can’t continue laying eggs in the dirt.

Spray some carbendazim and place a fan to blow against the plants to keep the air circulating.

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?

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

Pest attack. What can I use to eradicate?3 weeks of flowering, and the pests are still here. Can I play Beauveria Bassiana? Or just neem oil?
- The temperatures were very high here, exceeding 30°C, this week it will decrease.
- I have other plants to harvest and I'm going to take advantage and clean the grow.

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.
