What are these little bugs under my pots - HD Pics Inside

I am using Coco, my baby plants (around 20 days in) only take up 10% of the total room space. I am using 2x 400W MH blue lamps,

I just lifted up one of my pots which I watered yesterday and noticed these little bugs.

that's a lot of bugs bro!
the pic is not very clear? but if I had to guess. they are baby gnats.

you need to do something about that.........like now!!
 
You probably got springtails. I have springtails too since forever, overall they haven't seemed to be much of a pest, rather harmless. They will fuck up newly unrooted clones though, if you put them soil their contaminating.

Springtails are mostly harmless but they do jump around can cover some ground. Notice they disperse when you lift the pot and they go hide under another. Where else have they been ? I know someone that's had unprotected sex with dozens and dozens of partners and never got an std, but this innocent girl I knew in high school went out with one bad boy and had herpes all over her mouth.. Poor girl. How do you tell your husband that you're not a slut.. "I've only been with two guys I promise.." You don't want to be having this conversation with your plants. Spray the buggers with some bleach :)

They're springtails. A simple soap/water mixture will kill them on contact. They are more a nuisance than a serious pest.
