I see them..
Mites..
Mites..
They form collonies just under the top of your medium and feed on soil dwelling pests mainly Fungus gnat larvae and thrips larvae.Right on, those do look exactly like what I was seeing in there! It's good to know they aren't bad. I figured they probably weren't because they seriously don't care about the plants at all, they are just kinda cruising around the soil every so often. I only see them once a week tops and usually just in one plant. Weird! =)
They arent spider mites, theyre soil mites, totally harmless. I have them myself, just found them in my girl.. And thought SPIDER MITES!! But theyre not..Defintiely looks like mites, not sure why "they don't seem to give a shit about the plants but remain in the soil"
I've used the Dr Doom stuff to good effect. Nuke the buggers...unless you're close to harvest...
