I think these guys are Hypoaspis Miles but wanna get another opinion...

Quick small and brown, reside in soil but are also climbing along the branches of the plant, but not the leaves...

any insight would be appreciated, no guesses please.

Need a closer pic.

HM have 2 clear colour differences with an almost V shape ontheir back differentiating the 2 colours.

do these have long hairs coming off their bodies?

Could be a form of mould mite.

don’t look like spider mites from what I can tell.

hit the base of the plants and the top layer of soil with a nice spray of canna control by mammoth. They have seemed to retreat, pictures if they decide to pop out again
