are they root aphids?

Transplanted from coco to hydro - rdwc.

If yes, how do I treat? With h202?

If irrigating? Bury your emitters deeper. Sign of over water. Just dry them out between life cycles. Or emloy sticky traps. A nuisance at most. Unless a really out of control grow. LOL.

Some photos would help, but from experience id say they are springtails. I've had them before and am pretty sure they don't cause any harm

Yea did a little digging i think springtails are what they are. Never had then before and since I cut out Azamax they've shown up. Going to see if that does the trick.

I see the same bugs but I also see leaf marks Do springtails cause leaf damage? Do they bother with leafs at all?

They do not. Typically they stay inside the soil but I’ve seen a couple crawl on the lower stalk/pot edges. But NO leaf damage as they recycle what’s in the soil.
