please dont dump neem oil to your soil because you have springtails. springtails are very beneficial. just get better pics.

i dont see any thrips damage on your plants 99.9% they’re springtails a very important part of any organic soil and they will not harm your plants

98% of the time its springtails and they are very beneficial, 1% of the time they’re hypoaspis miles even more beneficial and the remaining 1% may be something detrimental but i cant see the actual bugs get close ups please as suggested.

Im not seeing any bugs in your picture, Are you able to get a closeup on just one bug and circle it. They could be Mealybugs, spring tail, soil mites

Dodgy grub?
I think these guys are living in my soil. I'm assuming they eat vegetable matter. So are they bad? Is there a way to get rid of them or just start again with new soil?

Brown spots and holes
Had snails and aphids earlier, but knocked them out. I'm these brown spots / holes in my girl. Don't think they're the snails and don't see any bugs.... been rainy and fairly cool, 60-70F. PH is currently high at 6.9. Any thoughts or recommendations for a mostly clueless newbie?

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?
I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?

Partial Harvesting and flushing the medium.
Can I do partial harvesting of the flowers that are ready and leave the other to ripe on the plants for longer? If yes, how should I proceed with flushing the substrate with plain water? I need to get rid of the salts before harvesting, even if harvesting partially. Please help.

Huge Slug Problem
Having a huge slug problem at the moment. I looked up the species on the internet and they are known as the Hutt. I have tried using the Force but it won’t work on him. Does anyone have some (creative) ideas on how to get rid of a giant slug. (Just a bit of fun)

Is it normal for my seedling to be at only one inch height after 8 days? Technically it did take about 2 days to sprout after planting. So I suppose it's really only been 4 days since sprouting. Slight yellowing on the leaves as well. My last auto was a huge fail.
