Can anyone shed some light on what this is and treatment if it's not beneficial? They're all over the bale I just purchased.

Agreed. I was told they could be beneficial, don't know exactly what it is yet so I'm trying to to be too pissed. But I did have a fit, after picking everything up on my lunch break, the guy loaded the bale for me like I couldn't fucking do it. Got home after work to set it down and watch these fuckers scatter

I didn't know there were beneficial insects for the soil like a rove beetle. Which I'm fairly new to cultivation

If it's living soil, they're technically all beneficial. Everything in nature has its place. It just needs to be kept in balance. Your bugs don't look like thrips or spider mites so I wouldn't worry too much. What's your plan with the promix?

I know I'm blowing this thread up. So my bad, just trying to figure out if I can mix my ammendments being that they are harmless/ beneficial or if it's a simple treat to exterminate them.

Your gonna just add dry amendments to the promix or compost/ewc as well?

This is my first go. So I'm mixing something for flowering. Picked up what I could locally so criticism is appreciated. I had 1 bag of happy frog and partial ocean Forrest maybe 1/3. Mixing that with half a bale of Pro mix, Earthworm castings, extra perlite, gypsum, azomite trace minerals. Rose & flower mix 4-8-4 which is a mix from fish bone meal, blood meal, langbeinite, alfa alfa meal, sea bird guano, rock phosphate, kelp meal. (All Down to Earth ). Lime, bone meal this is a 4-12-12 all natural plant food. I was going to do 1 cup of each but half cup on the gypsum. 5lb earth worm castings
