Problem: Watered plants after work. Noticed tiny bugs crawling in soil.

Medium/grow method: Fox Farms Happy Frog

Feed: and supplements used: None yet

water source: Distilled water

Strain/age: Zkittles Auto, Seedling about eight days after breaking soil.

light used: Outdoors

Climate: Summer weather in Michigan

Additional info: Looking at them I don’t think they are gnats since they don’t fly. I don’t believe they are spider mites because of color as these are a grayish clear looking pest. I think they are springtails


For reference I attached a zoomed in picture as they are tiny and hard to capture. I also took a video.

@Kronikwarfare :welcome:Welcome to AFN:welcome: Sorry I just can not tell what that is? There are a lot of beneficial bugs in soil and a few bad ones. I would have mosquito bits on hand just in case. It is also I good idea to have Southern Ag Garden friendly Fungicide also.
 
If it flys off quick, I’d guess leaf hopper.
