I see bugs :( but what kind?

[Devilman]

Hey all, been noticing some bugs recently in the water after having fed a few plants, pretty sure they are fungus gnats, although some of them seem to fkin jump around like crazy when you blow on the surface of the water or try to scoop some out, so maybe springtails? My 35x digi-scope is kinda hopeless at taking pics cus it only does 3.5x or 35x, so either too close or too far lol.

Anyway, Today I opened a cupboard in the room my growtent is in to grab my nutes and found a ton of tiny little white specs on a bucket in there and some of the bottles, but not sure what they are, aphids maybe?


First 2 pics are the "gnat suspects" I find in the water, 3rd one is what I presume is fungal gnat larvae?
Last 2 pics are what Ive found on the bucket / bottles in the cupboard today, Kinda hard to get a non-blurry pic as the little feckers wont stay still long enough for a photo-shoot lol (and I swear my digi-scope has a shutter-time of about a week lol)


Any help / confirmation on what these are and best way to go about dealing with them (if needed?) is greatly appreciated. Just to note.. im a UK grower, so that may affect what remedies / pesticides I can get my hands on compared to you guys over the pond.

Thanks all.

That third pic looks to be a collembola (springtail). Harmless, i have thousands in my coco..

The last pics look like mites, Not very clear, but they look a bunch like the soil mites i get from time to time.. Which if they are, they are harmless.
