I’ve tried to get an image of one.
Super hard to see, very small specs.
Any idea if these are beneficial or bad like normal bugs in the grow are.4D860D55-9EDB-48EC-BCA9-76E124CEE002.jpeg

In promix
Dry amendments
Warm temps lately 77-84
50-60%

Looking for help to identify.

Your right.
That’s the best still I could get from ten minutes of video.
Lol
Chasing them around w a loupe, in front of my phone, w a flashlight.
It was difficult.
I’ll try again at lights on.

I kinda think it looks like predatory mite but I don’t want to just turn a blind eye and let them thrive.

Well I’m being hopeful,
Kinda look same as good mites.

They are smaller than a grain of sand so it’s really difficult to get a picture.

Thanks! I’ll look into that.

It’s pretty fast for how small they are,
“At a medium pace” lol
Is how fast I’d say they are.

It’s in a tent, in a shed.
Of course no bugs for months,
Untill I flipped.

Where are you finding them ? If they are on plants prolly not good . If in soil don't worry they are predators

Use a yellow gnat trap or piece of tape to catch one.Spider mite would be on the plants,

So far only seen them on the drip tape.
Which I laid only the day before.
I cleaned up all the lower suckers before installing drip tape and didn’t see any signs of any bugs.

I’ll try to get one onto sticky traps.

Thanks for your replies everyone.
I appreciate it.
