Hey guys so I’m worried as shit and I had a feeling this would happen. In my room I had a couple house plants nearby. I now look at my plants closely and I can see little things crawling at first I thought it was the color of the soil close to the stem like a peanut butter color. As I look closer I see things running crawling and falling. Then I look at my pots and there all crawling on the rim of the pots they look white. This looks like a heavy infestation guys. It’s all on my ninja fruits for some reason I see mine on my 2 rainmakers just a few crawling. Do you think I could save my 2 rainmakers? Here’s the photos I hope

U guys can see please help

I feel like i might have to reset my garden

Never panic, im a hypocrite im sure saying that, i guess i should reword, dont ever do something drastic fast, like resetting whole thing. Pyretherin maybe? Pyretherin is actually a natural insecticide and looses all potency within few days, but does pretty good job fast. Is the plant showing damage yet? Id see if you can determine what they are, ive been lucky and only have experience with fungus gnats and a couple thrips in terms of pests...

Yea man it’s my second grow so I’m like trippin lol. I mean it looks bad I see them crawling everywhere all over the pot too it seems like nothing could fix this but then again who knows. There all clustered together near the stem. As soon as I watered I noticed them

None of that stuff(plant damage) should be from the mites. They feed off decaying material. They come from soil, outside, other house plants, etc. They're everywhere. They multiply like that when they have a food source like dry amendments, compost, leaves, etc. Used to see blooms of them in my tanks when I bred frogs and had fruit fly cultures and springtail cultures.

Ya mites aren't causing the yellowing leaves. You either got low on N at some point or have ph issues or ?
