Went to water my seedlings this morning and noticed someone's been munching on them.

So far only two look like this

Noticed brown thing on leaf, touched it and it squished. Another went scurrying off. Found two more under leaf. Checked other plants in same veg cab so far they look clean....weird.

Here's what they look like... kind of like a spider mite but bigger than I was led to believe they were and faster.

that's a fresh seedling stalk for size idea.

I remember having somthing like that! Neem oil and coco wet and done! Spray your plants EVERY week as directed with the lights off and your problems will go away! Wet the top of soil, not drench but make sure you give a little swipe across if it isn't wet from spaying the ladies.

Yea those do look similar. I have neem, was going to spray them tonight with it just to play it safe. Didnt see any on the girls in flower or veg. Ill just make sure to keep up with hygiene when going between grows. Has to be the damn soil. I had 0 pests until this last bag of roots. Bought from different store than normal. Worst $3 i've saved ever! Lol

Crazy. I've seen hypoaspis miles, spider mites and dust mites in the garden... never seen these guys before.
Glad to hear you got an id on them.
