Indoor Bug identification help

Mites for sure mate! If they are only in/on the soil, they're the harmless type, not sap suckers,.... if they are in plague numbers, a nuisance, then any mite killer will work, used as a surface spray,... check you soil bag for existing populations,.... if infested, ditch it and get freshie's!

Thank you kind sir

@Waira could these also be just soil mites orare they root aphids? non on the plants, only in the media (coco-coir). don't have any signs of thrips or any other bug but this one. will try to kill one and get a better pic.

.

edit: add better pics? cpatured a bug, gave one drop of alcohol. stayed still but dipped foward so the antenae are no longer visible. couldn't find another one to capture.

i am afraid of russet mites. but those are in leaves. Not very many miticides list hemp russet mite specifically.

never had those but pray i never do!
now i'm just confused by these new bugs i have... not sure if root aphids or a beneficial nematode.... they see so similar to Cucumeris bugs but some times also similar to root aphids. but oh well... i assumed they are aphids and already drenched the coir in azamax... hope everything turns out well.

looks like soil mites to me, harmless to the plants,..... you can nuke them with the right products if you want, but unless they are a plague in sheer numbers, don't bother,.. many mite treatments are meant for foliar only, NOT as root drench and may hurt roots,...
