Well I’m positive they aren’t spider mites. I’m assuming with my style of growing that they’re decomposer mites. That seems to be what they’re doing. I think I’ll keep them for a few more weeks to see what happens. I have organic matter in my soil anyways... compost. I wouldn’t see the difference because mites are in all soils
60x. I asked in the organics section and they say that there’s nothing to worry about with them. Apparently there is 80k different types of mites in soil. Most are good. But I’m still on edge about it. I definitely will not be using any sort of pesticides. I would rather toss the plants
good luck,let us know how it turns out.
I will,. I feel bad coming on here now lol. From the start I had a feeling they’re part of the decomposition process but at the same time I was scared they were spider mites. Quick check and I don’t have any webs or anything discolored. If they start eating my plants up then I’ll try neem oil.. id rather not but.. if I have to
Awesome foto BTW.
Thank you, it was a bit difficult to capture not going to lie. Especially trying to chase the bugs around
No I haven’t. I’m sure I’d be interested one day
So how did the crop come out with the bugs in the soil. I also have bugs similar to this in my soil yet my plants looks great
The male plant, the one I found the soil mites, grew pollen sacks outside and I collected pollen. Strange thing, the same soil but in my other pot did not have mites. That plant yielded 509g trimmed and over 60g untrimmed. Gl friend!
