    Default Good and bad pests.

    Hi folks.
    Been in and watered my plants tonight had a good look at my soil. Some really small bugs crawling around very slowly. And from what I've read they are good. Also only one of the plants has load of even smaller bugs that jump I can't actually see them in the soil just by chance I saw them at all really with my eyes. I have sticky traps in the tent. Neem mixed in my soil and have been spraying once a week with neem and soap solution. Hoping these are friendly soil dwelling bugs?? Impossible to get a pic sorry. .
    Cheers

    Cool man, no sign of anything on the plants themselves I've looked haha. Strange I only have them in one pot.

    If you have your pots on saucers or trays then lift the pot if its springtails you will see them jump like fleas..

    Ye man they come out when watering for a few seconds I may well have had them all along I just never noticed. There isn't many I wouldn't call it an infestation. Cheers dude.
