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?
These are arthropods called "Protaphorura". I always get a lot of them in my soil very soon in the grows. But from what I found on the internet and experienced, they are harmless so don't worry and leave them be 😎 They also exist in grey/brown color and jump out of the soil when you water it. If you are interested and want more info, see week 9 and 15 of my diary growdiaries.com/diaries/182640-grow-journal-by-smokingtiki/week/1060078. Good luck with your grow 👊
