There getting cut in a week so is there any point trying to find out how to kill them especially if they might not be doing any harm . Just wondered what they were that is all . I hate bugs too but these stay out of sight untill I flooded the hell out of my soil then they came to the surface and vanished back down with the water

Sounds like root aphids, unless theres a overwhelming number of them then i wouldn't worry about it considering you shouldnt be giving you plants nutes anyways in the final week.

From the picture they are most DEFINATELY springtails.

100%.

They are detrivorous feeders. Feeding on decaying organic material and fungi.


They are beneficial although unsightly and creepy as hell when the jump about. Lol.
