Look exactly like mine, I just posted a thread, although your buds look better(diff strain) I would reccomend on your next run to run the grow nutes about 2 weeks into flower and the switch too bloom, I did this and my new batch are still green and lush as compared to yellowing so fast. Also check ppm of water ur using and if low add calmag to bring too 200-250ppm then add ur nutes to desired levels. Def pick up high quality ppm and ph meter. Worth there weight in gold. Never had soil bugs so cant help, do a search on h2o2 hydrogen peroxide. If not using organics, as it will kill most living things in your soil. Never used but heard it works.
6wk flower, leaves and stems turning red fast, should i be worried? '+PICS

They are probably Springtails or fungus gnat larvae. Look into Bacillus Thuringensis Israelensis (Mosquito Dunks, Gnatrol), Sticky yellow traps, dryer soil etc...
Thx adfw, checked out your thread and yeah, our problem looks identical at the early stage and mine got worse later on I think. I am getting a meter before i start my next grow, just not sure what to buy.
Hey grizzly, done a bit of a research myself and still couldn't say what it is so I went on a hunt ;]
<<-- my crappy camera + 100x pocket scope combined
The scope pic lis a bit deceptive, when there alive they are elongated like thrips. This one is actually quite big Id say. And it seems theres quite a lot of them :/

Those are probably soil mites. ... Harmless I think. I think they also eat springtails, but not plants.
Oribatid Mites live in the top layer of the soil, leaf litter, or other debris (stuff laying on top of the soil). They can also be found on mosses, lichens, and other low plants.
These mites live in huge numbers. Hundreds of thousands of mites can live in one square meter of soil. To see one well, you would need a microscope.
Oribatid Mites do not need to mate to make more mites. Females can lay eggs on their own.
Oribatid Mites eat fungi, algae, and dead plant matter. They also eat dead springtails (tiny insects that live in the soil) and live nematodes (tiny worms).
These mites are extremely important. They break down old material, such as dead leaves, and put the nutrients back into the soil. This allows living plants to pull the nutrients back into their roots so they can grow and feed animals.
Without Oribatid Mites and other soil mites to "recycle" old material on the ground, plants and animals could not survive. That includes us!

Thx man, I really appreciate your effort. The description kinda fits because they seem to only be in the very top layer of soil and Im yet to see one on the actual plant, I also read somewhere that when it comes to mites slow moving ones are the ones to worry about and these Ive got are fast little fuckers so i guess its all good 
I think I worry too much, I need a smoke...
