I noticed what I think are springtails in the soil crawling everywhere.. they don't seem to be crawling on any leaves or damaging anything but I'm worried about them leaving the tent and spreading thru my house.. they don't really go anywhere besides in the soil or maybe a couple crawling on the side of the pot. Anybody got experience with these? Some places I read say they are beneficial

their ok in older plants but might not be for seedlings, to kill dont water so much, let soil dry out, they thrive in wet soil, they cant fly, but can jump, without water/moist places they die...

They actually help break down organics into the soil. However they will eat small plants roots off and it will stunt the crap out of growth.
