I don't know how to control them in autopots or if it is necessary. What I know is..
Springtails are one of the most abundant animals on Earth, they could have been chilling in the coco or you have a damp location nearby. They are somewhere in most houses.
I've had them in new bags of FF and never saw any plant issues.
I attempted to kill them first time and failed.
Most organic growers I've found just consider them part of a natural organic ecosystem.
Whatever you do understand you will probably always have springtails coming and going so don't let it frustrate you too much.
If you look anywhere on Earth that is moist hard enough you will probably find a few of them.
And I have sprayed them directly with household insect killer and they just shrugged it off.
Not suggesting you don't try to control them but I'm trying to warn you they might not go away and your weed will still be alright. They don't go on your plants. I wouldn't consider them a cannabis pest.
