i saw this video while i was replying to your other question and gotta say you need a macro lens to take photos of the critters you see there. its impossible to identify by this video.
however i dont see thrips damage on your plants, do you?
do they jump up and down when you disturb them?
do they have antenna like bunny ears?
since you cant take a close up photo of the creatures youre seeing i suggest you google springtails and try to identify yourself using your sight. theyre 99.9% springtails imo.

Springtails can come with some soils but usually come with compost, worms or sometimes worm castings depending on the source. They're fine as long as they have compost/mulch to eat, and help decompose organic materials. Keep your soil nutrient rich with organic matter and you'll be fine, but if you starve them, they have been known to eat living plant roots. My living soil is full of soil mites, worms and springtails=)

Looks like springtails to me which means you have some good soil there. They don't harm the plant.

you have to really focus to see the antenna theyre tiny but visible if you keep watching them.
you know what get a spoonful of your soil and drop it in a bowl filled with some water, that way you can see the ripples they make when they jump. their jumps are hard to see since they are very small but theyll cause ripples on standing water when they do.

I can’t seem to get a clear shot
They don’t seem to have any antenna but they do seem to slightly jump when disturbed.
I don’t see any damage to the plant also. Seem to be like a white pill shaped bug which I know doesn’t help too much.

handelt es sich bei den Tieren um schwarze blattläuse? (Habe leider keine besseren Bilder hinbekommen)
Ich habe auch einige größere schwarze Tiere mit Flügeln an ähnlichen Stellen gefunden.
Denkt ihr mit Wasser und anschließend mit einer Seifenspirituslösung abspritzen reicht?

Pest infestation left my plant folded and weak. I treated it, but now blacked out leaves?Ants were farming an oval shaped bug's secretions that was eating my stem and going underground, leaving a trail of a film-like substance.
Treated it with neem oil, cigarette butt tea, garlic and dishwasher soap to fend them off. Black leaves now. Tips?

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?

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

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?

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.

Spider mites in late floweringI have mites on one of the King's I'm starting week 7 of flower now and I don't think spraying is going to be the best decision. I've flushed my plants today, the other ones don't have spots on leaves. The sick plant is moved away form the others. Should I harvest it early or ?14 days ago
