The Kize Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) i’m about 2 weeks into flower and tiny fast running bugs have appeared, i’ve tried taking a photo of them close up but they’re that small it just ends up blurry. Growing in verve mpc. They don’t appear to be on the plants i just noticed them on the edge of the black pots. Any ideas? cheers Edit: i have uploaded a couple of pics to the gallery, they’re not to clearest tho. this is the best i can get Edited March 20, 2023 by The Kize new info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Wardrobe Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Likely soil mites. Pretty harmless in my experience. The only time I had them (non ganga) they disappeared after letting the container dry a bit more than usual a couple of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giggles Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 If they are Springtails, they are harmless to your plants, they consume decaying plant matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Depends on the species, as some actively eat roots, I've had them bad once and ruined the potential of a plant. But they where the thin white ones that spring, nasty fuckers. The ones in the pics are different, they look like the little things I had in my grow before last, Might have been soil mites or springtails and that grow grew fine The springtails, All them white things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
