They're everywhere

Hi all, I got a few autos a 70 days, flowering lovely in canna coco, GH trio, while feeding this morning I noticed some little white crawlers all over the coco, they kinda disappeared when the water settled, I looked at them through the loupe but they're so fast I can't even count their legs, I'm devastated cus I keep my room spotless clean, this run I used the coco from my last grow, I'm assuming that's the cause, I need help.

Chances are more than good you are seeing springtails. If they are springtails it is not a serious problem.

Bon jour.

springtails.. its in canna's coco i found out lol.. same way u did. no devastating shit man with them i had my best harvest ever.. so i think grower error is the issue if your having problems.. springtails do nothing.

Try to snag a couple with some clear packing tape to get a better look at them.

its not even worth it.. when u water.. just look .. if they are jumping and shit.. and tiny and white.. its springtails. ig ot them in my canna coco everytime so far.. and have had no issues with them.. had ammonia toxicity from overwatering. i never knew could happen but yup

probably predator mites I get them with Canna Coco. They are fast as hell and only really run around pot and coco.

either springtails or soil mites most likely. nothing to worry about unless it looks like a microscopic maggot.

put it this way.. dont freak out unless 1 they are root aphids.. lol. or 2.. broad or russet mites.. but those would be on plant not roots
