For anyone that will find this post in the future and wonder what the answer is to the first post/video... these are soil mites. Depending on where you research, most people will say they are beneficial for your garden. They are beneficial to the soil in the decomposition process. They...
I don't think they are white flies. I don't have any fliers in the garden and those also look a lot bigger than what I'm finding. Looks like you can see white flies by eye.. the bugs in the first video are at 1000x scope and you can still barely see them. They look like some kind of mite...
This may be one of the bugs I'm finding in the Coco. Do they move really slow or fast? I believe these are what I see in saturated coco moving hella slow..

Looked for hours this morning. Several Plants scope and no scope... didn't see any brown or anything that looked like aphids. Looked at the top of the coco and through the openings in the bottom of the pots Everything crawling I can see I am positive was a H Miles...
First video posted, hell no. I can hardly see them under scope.
The second video, depends if they are h miles then I can see them on the pot, I cant see anything really on the root itself but could be because they are white and all the bugs are white. The smallest bug my naked eye can get are...
I’ll head down with a yellow sticky and see what else I can find. The video with the small cluster is literally on a grain of coco and magnified 1000x.. that’s how small those little guys are.
I think this is one caught from the second video.
@Anthem Don’t think aphids create webbing.. any idea if that connected or signs of something else? Any chance they are just a coco/soil mite? (Just hoping over here). Haven’t seen any spider mites or webbing on the plant, just on the pots...
Just inspected the bottom of a pot, coco is the medium. Also took a sample of coco at the bottom of a pot and put it under a microscope. Used some blue painters tape to do this.
I think I have 2 maybe 3 different types of bugs in these videos.
The first video shows tiny ass white bugs at...
All clear/white couldn’t see any spots like you would on a two spotted spider mite. Plant was about 2 ft tall and I found 2 on the underside of a leaf. They look similar to a Hypoaspis miles with the whisker like back but I’m used to those just being in the medium and never on a leaf.
I’ve...
@tobh Im considering dunking as I found a Tupperware pot that should do the trick in terms of soaking the cube… just don’t know if I’m causing more harm to the plant by doing so. Considering putting a slab underneath but don’t know if that’s a good idea either at this point.. day 22… super...
Running a few different strains and some were drinking more, others less… was difficult to dial in runoff and overall saturation and let a strain get too dry.
Once runoff happens they are still light meaning I have some dry pockets that won’t saturate with my drip system.
Anyone know if they...
