I’ve looked through a bunch of these threads and I’ve seen a lot of people have the same issue as me… tiny white bugs.. but identifying them is an issue.. First off let me just say I’m 6 almost 7 weeks in and hadn’t seen anything until about a week ago when I transplanted 2 party cup seedlings into 1 gallon pots. First I saw one in the soil and one on the side of the pot but just squished em with my finger.. more recently I’ve seen them in my soil, on the side and rim of the pots and on lower leaves that touch the soil. And bizarrely on the bottom of my pots. I found one on a higher leaf one time but it was a leaf that was resting on the side of the pot.
I used to see them very very infrequently maybe only one time until I watered my plants a day or 2 ago and noticed 5-6 running out of the soil on the inside of the pots.. I got worried so I grabbed a 50-50 alcohol water mix and gave my pots a good shower all around then spray a VERY little amount in the soil and saw maybe 10 scurry out of the pot on the sides..
also have not found a SINGLE web around my plants or on the pots..
Does anyone have any idea what they could be?
I am attaching images with the thread so you can see what they look like. I would love to say they are just soil mites but I really don’t know. I’ve seen picture of spider mites and I just can’t decide.. I am attaching a picture of a larger one..I have seen them about half he size of the ones in the pictures
