Looks like springtails,supposedly harmless(debateable),but i hate them.glad iv not had them for long enough,resistant to alot of pest controls too.i know some folks put up with them but i believe they maybe be a vector for other things so id rather not have them.iwould finish up what youve got going then start over clean(different medium,plants etc,),wait a few weeks at least between this grow and the next and clean ur room over to to be safe,if its aphids then ull hav to pull out all the stops to deal with them.good luck,76
I just started this roundup again because I took a few months off I was battling aphids and thrips over the springtime. I feel like I got something from the soil cuz when I first noticed I was having issues it was within the first week of me starting and there was a lot of little white bugs so when I checked the bag the Fox farm I found a lot more inside that bag so I feel like that's what contributed to me having this issue again

It was extremely hard to get a good pic or video. I was looking at my bag of Ocean Forest and saw way too many bugs. It was a little black bug. Looked like it had wings. Saw several gnats flying around. Little white bugs crawling around. I knew I wasn't tripping because I saw this the first week I got the clones. I saw a bunch of little white bugs and been trying to figure it out with the help of you guys. I was about to transplant them to a bigger container but I'm gonna need to get a new bag of soil. I'm glad that I caught this early. I've been using Captain Jack bug spray. And I've seen good results using them on the plants. I had issues earlier this year because of the thrips. I got the same bag of soil from the same place. So now I know not to get soil from there.
