I have some kind of bugs in my foxfarm soil. dont know where or how they got there. (indoors by the way) They are tiny, I have good eyesight or I wouldnt even see them. When I water the soil they all gather to dry ground, thats how i noticed them. Anyway how do I kell them without killing the microorganisms in the foxfarm soil? Or can I use something strong to kill all organisms and then re-introduce the beneficial ones.? i am in veg stage still.

Sounds like soil mites and if you are doing organics, they are of benefit, but would need a picture to be sure, however that is probably what they are, so do not bother them and let them do their job, with the rest of the organics.

I make things very smple my friend.......if you are doing organics and you see bugs and they ARE NOT eating at the plants, then leave them alone.......wether you know it or not, they are benefiting something....always.

Thank you, they are very small and all white, They are crawling all over the soil by the thousands but rarely climb on the actual plants. Not doing any damage so far. I will get a pic up soon.

From your discription and especially telling me, that they have not harmed the plants, it is more than likely the wonderful soil mite.....grow on brother!
