Don't bother if springtails won't do any harm, just eat decaying stuff

Pros: eat decaying stuff
: poop nitrogen
: sweet acrobatics

Cons: bugs

sticky traps to keep the flying ones down, don't leave standing water around.

They wont hurt anything as Easy said they eat decaying material, got some woody bark in your coco? tends to be the main culprit

How did they taste?

See if you can get a better picture mate.

I had them on my last grow and this is what mine looked like.

As Easy says there ok and do nowt but eat decayed crap.

I had thousands which would come out of the coco when ever I watered for a nice little swim

If you look in your runoff tray and zoom in on your phone camera then you will see piles of the dead ones that turn a brown colour.

This is the only way to control your bugs. Assert complete dominance by swallowing their population daily. Imagine the terror. "It's the suck GOD!!!"

But seriously, gross dude.
