crimsonechoanswered grow question 2 years ago
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.

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.

Insects in soilI have been noticing that there are some insects living in the soil, I have seen two types, little white bugs and a small brown ´caterpillar’. I have done some research, andsome people suggest to keep the caterpillar since it will eat the bugs. Any ideas on how to deal with this?
