whatever they are....having that many probably isn't good
that looks to be an infestation and anything good doesn't usually come in those numbers unfortunately

Springtails are completely harmless they only feed on dead organic matter they won't harm the plants..

Not sure how long it took to get all those. That's been on the floor the entire 76 days of the grow so farand I don't notice till today. I thought it was dirt that had got onto it, lol.

Spinosad will kill them dead. Even the nasty Western flower thrip.

I've tried Bug clear ultra, didn't work very well. It's best to try 2 or 3 different products in rotation.

Cool I’ll have a look at other products, have you always used foliar sprays as I’m 4-5 weeks into flower

There is little options in flower, you should look into organic sprays, some of these bug sprays are systematic and will stay in the plant. Predators might be the best choice. Have you got pictures of the whole plant
