Pretty blurry pics, but the body shape kinda looks like thrips.

yep...I'd say thrips. Are you seeing any evidence of leaf damage?

 

[Herb potman]

I have 4 plants in the tent. One I had to flush a month ago and it’s been yellow ever since so very hard to tell damage to leaves. Specially thrip type damage See that yellow plant That’s the one.

Any combat suggestions

Do they kind of jump around when you water or move the water??

 

[Serty97]

Also, do the leaves have little silver shiny spots or just yellow?

I only seen them so far in a bit of water left over in my plant elevator for day before. None on leaves or anywhere.

No silver spots but I thinks that’s cuz leaves are so yellow maybe I can’t see them. But my newer leaves grow in green on that plant and I check and no noticeable thrip damage like you are describing on those leaves. And other 3 plants don’t have any leaf damage either

Do they look like this? Disregard the red predatory mites.

Next time you water, look at the top of the soil.

what it sounds/looks like are springtails. You in Fox farms soil by chance?

Springtails aren’t an issue at all, I’ve had them in almost all my grows. They can actually be beneficial as they eat decaying matter.

Everytime I’veused Fox farms I have springtails. Guessing it’s that, in which case don’t worry. The yellow leaves are unrelated or from a different pest
