I am hunting them down to take pics through jewlers loop and see if phone can indentify it. These were all I got. I think it should be easy since all I did was buy ffof and pot it, I know bugs come with soil growing but is this ok or not.

They are tiny white mites that are crawling around, theres a bit of them in there. Something to worry and treat? Blurry pics. Hard to get them on camera.

I checked the bag it came from and nothing so hmm. It may be same mites that crawled over to it because it is recent, like day 2 cuttings. Theres a lot of them.

Here is a video of the same mites I never found out what they were. They come in abundance and come out when watered, is it the same white mites as mentioned above or something different? They come in all root riot cubes I got.

They dont seem like theyre eating the plant cuttings at all. But worry some unless you knew they werentt but also kind of gross. See! Coco/hydro brings bugs too! Got gnats that I got with a sticky trap.

im sorry that you have bugs medicated but as long as they are not eating the roots / eating the plants leaves i wouldnt worry 2 much unless you have like thousands of them lmfao. i recently had a bad infestation of thrips that were eating all my leaves. i got rid of them with captain jacks deadbug but im not sure if captain jacks deadbug is safe on cannabis plants. good luck with your bug problems boss man :(

Hopefully it is just the H miles bugs, I cannot spell. But that is the same bug I started this thread for which are good mites they even sell them.

Usually in my experience bad mites you'll start to see webs very faintly first gonna have to check over good if no webbing might be good.

You know what they look like, computer mites. I just learned about them recently. Idk though. Reread the thread shoot I hope theyre h miles! Might be why my gnat issue actually is under control.

When they dwindled these floureshed. No webs or any above the pot on the stem/leaves so thats good. Just some on the main stem but theyre wondering back down.

For as many as there are I think thats a good sign.

They don't look like the common computer keyboard mites. Those are "socharids", or something like that. AKA "Book lice", which look different than the ones you are showing.

Yours definitely appear to be hypoaspis. Fungus gnat predators..
