Strange night in the tent. I’ve a leak in my water container so replaced it tonight. I picked up the plastic support piece and noticed something crawling on it. Then Noticed just about every spot was crawling. Got the best pics I could. All the white spots below are bugs... My plant really doesn’t look bad though. These were in the water reservoir, not in the grow bag.

Looks like springtails.
Springtails are entirely safe for cannabis plants, feeding exclusively on the qualities of the compost and ignoring the plant’s healthy tissue.
Dryer conditions will help control infestations.

Use a little Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth is a substance that is safe for use around pets and people. It works by desiccating the body of springtails and killing them as they crawl upon it.

If they jump, they're springtails. They mainly decompose dead roots, which makes them very useful if you're growing organically. If not it's a sign there are decomposing roots around.
For that, you might want to try a light solution of enzymes.
Also, if you want to keep a tank microbe free organically, try a few drops of organic grapefruitseed extract. Even water companies use it.
