I'm being told these are root aphids, but I also see it could be springtails or even mites. They are extremely tiny and white. I'm growing inside and just did a transplant into 100% ffof. Any help will be appreciated please kinda panicking as this is my first time growing and don't really know what I'm doing.
Diatomaceous Earth and destroy any bugs that crawl on your soil. Plus, gives a nice dose of silica to boot. Cannot burn or harm your plant. But dehydrates all that crawl.
Definitely not springtails !! Any time I ever seen springtails was in run off water or the bottoms of solo cups inside other solo cups and they will flick around and actually spring themselves about !! First time I saw them I freaked n chopped like 6 plants
I need new glasses and can't see very well atm. But I think you may have some spider mites going on bud. I need it more close up to really see them. Do you see any webs on the backs of your leaves. Probably closer to the bottom?

Um no actually I was seeing them 2 days ago now I stared at the soil for a good 15 minutes and couldn't see anything, I have not watered the plant in days and it was decently wet when them video were captured, I have some diatomaceous earth on the way I'm going to use just in case. As far as the bugs go there definitely not on my plant. She is very clean.

I should re word that,As far as the webbing or webs go, I have not seen any at all no sign of webs, but it's been about a day or so since I've seen them little critters crawling on the top. Maybe there in the soil now?

If you have them that small plant probably won't make it. Even if it would, if that's the only one you have. I would start over. Clean everything around your grow area really well. Then try again. They are really hard to see. Like peace's of dirt moving around. Can be very hard to get rid of. I hope the stuff they guy recommended works. But they are really tuff little things. I would wait until someone who can see better than me verifies, they are spider mights before you do that though.

This is the plant 3 days ago when I transplanted it into ffof.
This is it tonight about a hr ago
I don't think she is dying or maybe it takes time but maybe these bug r good in a way? or they are root aphids no in between. I also called fox farms and they said they do have bugs in the soil and they consider there soil alive. But also said most these bugs are good for the soil. But I don't think there spider mites, but who am I to judge a extremely tiny bug... I think these bug are some type of predatory mites, if it root aphids would she still be growing that fast? These bug were moving pretty fast for little guys.
