Noticed a (1) fungus gnat flying in my tent the other day and decided to throw a slice of potato on top of my soil to see what I might find (I've read larvae will migrate to it if they're there). I'm noticing 2-3 different types of larvae walking around. 1 long narrow one I'm assuming is fungus gnat and the other 2 may be in fact the same type.
I've got 3 ladies in the tent a couple of weeks into flower and they seem pretty healthy overall. Should I be worried about these pest and take steps to kill them all or you think I'll be fine. My first grow here and I'm assuming I've got around 3 - 4 weeks till harvest. Here's a video. Screenshot_20210819-201126.png

Hard to tell from those pics. But the top left could be a springtail. And the bottom left kinda looks like a soil mite. Both of those are beneficial. I can't see shit in that other circle.

Haha yea.. I accidentally linked to a picture of a seedling. Link should bring you to a video of them walking around. Sorry about that!
