they are almost as small as spider mites but i would have to say a little bigger and crawl pretty fast for their size. they look whiteish and were hundreds on top of the soil of one plant that i know of pretty much only on the soil and rim of the pot. plant looks fine from what i can see and im a month into flower. please let me know asap if u have any idea i did a quick research but saw nothing that describes what i have + rep given thanks
been growing over three years indoors now and never seen these bugs b4 what are they?

Root Aphids.. Nasty muther fuckers.. if you cant figure out what to do .. ill tell ya how to get rid of em .. just dont have time right this second.. I can help ya out when I get home on the laptop.. These things make mites look like a blessing. If you see gnats.. the root aphids will grow wings to move from plant to plant.. they suck from the roots and leave them infected and rotting when they are done.. Are you in Hydro or Soil? Veg or Flower?
Here is some info on them for now .. they are all different colors .. so dont think about the color.. just identify if they are the same shape.

Yeah, I was freaked out too at first pickle...especially when I started looking close and saw like thousands. I was like "What the fuck, it's a damn infestation! Somebody call Dr Doom!"...I had gnats, and I think thats what make the hypoaspis miles move in and set up shop...you know, lots of fungus gnat larvae for them to grub out on! That was like 3 grows ago. Now they're part of my garden, indoor and out. I barely see 'em, but they're in there just biding there time, keeping the soil pests in line!
check the link towards beginning of thread im sure thats what they are
