Are they thrips? I've never seen them run across the soil. Someone said use SNS209 to kill them. Something about feeding it to the plant. I haven't had thrips for over a year. They're hard to get rid of in flower spraying with spinosad because of all the area you have to cover with mature plants, and the risk of bud rot.
You might have to cash it in if you're that close to harvest (7 weeks now). Start over and take more proactive measures on the next grow (use SNS209).
Photos under natural light will get you better responses.

thrips ?
Try anything with Spinosad for plant and soil treatment
then you need to spray and maybe fumigate
but them plants are done best to clear out everything and run your lights for 3 to 10 days non stop to hatch out all the rest then clean or spray again and get the room ready for fresh plants
I spray early in veg with systemic and instant kill products, put perlite or some kind of rock over the top of the soil and in the bottom of the pot
oh and I give sugar during flush to keep them from eating the plant
Some of the biggest looking ones I`ve seen someone on here get a snap of
They do look like thrips
I`ve noticed they like anything damp in the drip tray

They thrive in damp moist locations and are regularly under the sink if your sink has a small leak. But if they dont fly and if you noticed nothing flying then im pretty sure there silver fish... But the pictures are kinda bad haha
They should be harmless but I would water with neem oil or azamax and it will break their life cycle. They should be harmless tho which is weird your having plant problems.
if it is thrips this product will kill them for sure. Or look up jacks which is basically the same thing.

The rate should be 1 tsp per gallon or in ml, 5 ml per gallon. That should be enough but you can triple the dosage and no harm will happen. Plants love azamax and neem oil as there basically the same thing. Azamax generally smells better as its a synthetic and neem oil is organic.

But I personally would look at the conditions the room is in, silver fish take a while to be able to thrive. Seems your room is very humid? Or the water in your saucers have standing water most of the time? Letting the water fully dry up and getting the humidity down will get rid of them but they might just go into the pot to find some moister. So I would drench and it should prevent the next generation.
I have silverfish. They don't hurt anything as far as I can tell. Sometimes I notice (later in growth) that something took a bite out of a growth tip. It takes two weeks to see it (and then it look like something huge took a bite, the way the leave grows into something, the damage expanding with the leaf). I don't know if that comes from a silverfish or cricket.
I wouldn't sweat it.

Appreciate your help. I think the humidity os my problem.try to fix it with your fer suggestion..
Better to be fixed, don't know it harm or not
