Help identify pests

Need help identifying these bugs. I found them under rockwool cubes in the cloner They seem to like the moisture and were not bothering the vegetation at all. I even found them under a few cubes with no cuts in them. Is it possible that they are fungus nat larvae?

The picture isn't the clearest, but those look like young springtails to me. Could be thrips, but again, the picture is blurry. It looks like they have darker heads with thicker antennae, that's why I'm leaning towards springtails. A clearer pic would help. You can get a USB Microscope on Amazon for like that will give you ultra clear pics.

We did some more research. Looks like they are springtails They were attracted to the moisture. Washed everything really well and no sign of them for a couple days now 🤞

They haven’t developed their wings yet. So you’re not completely effed. I would google search how to control thrips in a hydroponic set up and pick whatever solution suits your needs.
