My old eyescant tell from here my friend. But if I remember correctly I read somehwere that Springtails once thought to be a pest by some farmers arent and actually are a good sign to see them round your grow , something about soil health or something like that. They dont actually feed on your plants but they do clean up and eat decaying organic matter, which to my mind is a good thing.

Will see if I can locate the article. BRB.........

Ahhhh Found it. To be clear tho, I haven't done a lot of follow up to see if this information is accurate but on the surface it sounds and looks legit. Heres the link. If anyone has information to the contrary plz post it up. Cause as I said for a long time Springtails got a bad name in the Ag scene. http://www.paghat.com/springtails.html

I havent read that article yet but what I know,
Is yes there beneficial,
but there presence means root problems..
I had my coco dry out in a couple pots,
and I think that has caused this breakout..
I also think they came in the coco..

You are correct. Not sure so much bout root issues but a medium that is soggy/too wet can attract them. Then again if over watering or soggy soil is present that would lend itself to root rot or issues.

Cant say for sure but I dont think they are predators of bacteria, just decaying organic matter. But if anyone can add to this or correct me please do. Spread the info love.!!

Well Ive read this in a few articles, and at face value, it looks dishearting to say the least..

And you opened my eyes to another point,
I get N tox easy in veg with veg nutes.
Ive chalked it up to grow being high N
Calimag has N
Floralicious Plus has N
And Now I got a Hebrew Army of N producers..

You know as well as I do,
that things when wrong,
times themselves exponentially..

I just dont know the power of these lil soldiers..
But I have come to use these chems lightly,
and certain times I will pull it out the weekly res fill...

I have a really really stupid question to ask, but I have to ask it...

I just bubbled tea, with Ogbiowar root and foliar packs and fed to my plants last week...
Could they have anything to do with them, you think?

Never a stupid question bro. Only stupid question is the one you don't ask. :D

I cant for the life of me come to any conclusions on why that would have anything to do with it. @EventHorizan
