? For ya = are u only seeing these bugs on leafs? also how many do u see aka pressure, meaning how Many of the bugs u see in ur garden. If it’s just a small amount that’s a def better sign, check bottom of leafs and top and middle range and also bottom, diff plants
2nd ? = are u intaking air from outdoors? If yes I would suggest making sure to have a hepa/high merv rated filter on the start of ur ducting for all preventive reasons, def one of the biggest issues was not making sure my intake was filtered

I can find a couple on each plant. Mostly on top of leaves. I found a couple running up n down the stem but nothing crazy.
I’m still workin on my environment, my next major upgrade will be air filtration and circulation. I’m in tents in my garage so I need to seal the room and filter air in and out, that’s a project scheduled after this current harvest.

Thank you! The orange ones are trippy lol.
I have thousands of em patrolling my bed. I’m assuming they are from me watering in my sf nematodes. I watered the whole bed, as opposed to just the plants at the base. So there’s prolly an abundance of moisture attracting them.

First pic id confirm!

Hello,
I have confirmation that this is a Box mite (Oribatid mite). They rarely eat plants. They are decomposers. They enjoy fungi, moss, algae, and decomposing matter. If the soil is very rich and very wet they would be attracted to it for sure.
I hope this is helpful.
Thank you,

Looks like a springtail. It's looks too large to be an oribatid mite. But maybe the picture is deceiving. Is it bigger than 1/16"?

I stated in reply above yours that email/reply wasn’t towards that bug. It was a reply on a diff bug

They are all over the place. The bed itself, the soil, few here n there on the plants. I haven’t noticed any of these orange ones jumping around like the usual springtails. I’ll see if I can get some more pics in the morning when lights come on.
Thank you for the help!!

Thank you brother!!! Hopefully it’s beneficial. I haven’t seen any damage and with the amount of these things running around ( if I look hard enough I can find a couple on each plant ) you’d think it would be noticeable. The orange ones have been harder to find but these striped ones either brown or gray seem to be the ones in abundance atm

Looks like a bark lice to me. They don't actually damage plants, just live on them
Sometimes you see a little webbing from them on the bottom of the leaves, but it is obviously not spider mite webbing in that situation because there are no spider mites and the leaves look fine. Bark lice just eat things like fungi that live on the plants.Margaret “
