Are these springtails?

I swear i saw a couple of them fist bumping and humping my roots.

I've been growing in promix bx (although the clone was rooted in to ffof party cup then into a promix 3.5 gallon mopping pail) with a little perlite and vermiculite mixed in. They are on a blumat drip system which is running about 175ppm (.5 scale) mix of 1:5 Dyna Gro Protekt:Foliage Pro, along with .75ml/gallon of drip clean. I also give her a special drink every day of the mix minus the drip clean but with some added floralicious plus (didn't want to add this stuff to the reservoir).

She is into flower about 3 weeks and finishes in 7-8. I noticed the little bugs today crawling around on the top of my media. I hear that springtails are beneficial because they eat decomposing matter... but that doesn't sound so good in a synthetic fed plant.

Anyways, here are the pics. They are hard to see but they are the little clear things roaming around with antennas. The bottom pictures are best.

Ssorry for the blurple - hoping to rectify that little problem once this grow is done...
