Whole 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.

OH those are hypoaspis miles :) AKA Stratiolaelaps scimitus. These are predator mites! They feed on the bad bugs like spider mites, root aphids, and fungus gnats. Its a strong indication that you have a healthy echo system going. Some people even pay to have these bugs placed in their gardens.

Are you sure they aren't under your leaves? Then they are most likely soil mites.

spider mites. kill dem all! pyretrhrine based pesticide will kill on contact and biodegrades quickly. don't spray on flowers.. nothing is really safe to spray on flowers.
