What do you think? Friend or foe...

I am sorry to say that if those bugs dont jump like a flea (springtails which are harmless) they look like root aphids.

Last few pages of my thread we have been dealing with them.

Do you have fungus gnats sticking to yellow sticky cards? Look closely they could be winged root aphids.

And i have to say that soil looks too wet.

That looks like a soil mite to me. It a big deal, probally too fast to be a root aphid.

Hope so but cant see if 6 or 8 legs.

If he wouldpost a pic of the plant I could be for sure. Aphids cause major deficiency’s. Also your rarely going to see 1-2 aphids crawling around. They build in numbers.

Here's pictures of the plants. I'm pretty sure there Neoseiulus californicus. Virtually 100% sure, actually, as there growing in my pollen, and reproducing, and little badasses they are, BORG EXTERMINATORS, I'm thoroughly impressed by this little guy.

Yes, it was absolutely damp, but only sprayed with a mister, to feed the bugs some h20, and keep the seedlings moist. I'm spritzing several times daily on these right now. I also do some minimal spritzing under the canopy (of main plants) to keep them happy and well. But with with good ventilation in place.

I think I've fallen in love, with a bug.

Third pic down looks like naners. Bugs look like weavels.

surprisingly the best pics seem to be the film itself.

That aphid eggs

That aphid eggs.

I think this is them. When I look at mites, there always sitting under a leaf, not doing much of anything, or spinning a web. These little guys are on a mission, they don't ever stop (maybe to kill and eat, but that's probably it). There all over the place, and very fast.
