SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

Playing around with set up with my new space. First was to jam it all at one end so the lights would be most efficient. Second pic. I just went the long way to make it easier to get at the plants. May have to add more light .much easier to work on the plants with the first pic A089733E-948E-414C-9783-716AE1BE4D91.png

looks like a win either way to me!
 
So I just watered in to the top, a compost tea I made from Neptune's Harvest fish fertilizer, and build a flower. I come back a lil while later and I see this....

Anyone know what they are?
 
Was going to ask if they are dead in the picture? I have had unidentified swimmers develop in a few test buckets outside.
They reminded me of tadpools though.

Agreed on the top watering statement. Keep it sippin' :blsmoke:
No not dead, but running out of the box. I dunno what they are. I had a shit ton of soil mites a couple weeks ago, but they were white. These are black and longer.

I was just trying to add some biology and food for the microbes but I guess I didn't need too. All these different insects in organic soil are overwhelming. Lol

Got it.. Haha I hear you on the overwhelming part. I'm not as high tech on the stuff as some of you guys to be honest.
Miles is about as much as I will go for the bennies. And even then I am not adding them ..

I plan on doing a fully loaded bed one day though! I'll probably be asking you guys questions at that time :blsmoke:

Oh I'm sure you already know everything you need to. Maybe just some bud identification, but I believe most need help with that.
