Hey man, go look at my diary “organic autos round 2” these look and sound similar to what was crawling on the outsides of my fabric pots. I did spray the plants and fabric pots one good time with diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide which killed a lot of them but I saw them throughout the whole grow. I really noticed them going crazy after heavy waterings. I also don’t think they even bothered my plant. I saw some going up and down on the lower parts of the stem and some would even get stuck in the lower buds but i think It was because I’d water so heavy they’d have to scurry out of the soil. I wouldn’t worry too much about them unless you are seeing them all over your plant or your plants health declines

Hi there! Springtails only come to the surface when you water and jump when there's water on the surface. Once the water seeps in, they tend to run along the surface and look for a way back into the soil. Springtails usually feed on dead material. As long as your plant looks healthy, the springtails are not a problem.

Haha. Do you really think we can tell by this picture. You need much more magnification
