check under the leaves. spider mites will lay their eggs under the leaves and they look like small red or white dots

without a pic its hard to say but im gonna bet the house that they are gnats in your soil ..are you overwatering?what is your watering schedule? If they are small black insects with clear wings thats what you are probably dealing with..get a good organic pest killer and some no pest strips

3 different clips
first part the bugs are far left side there is one.
2nd part is just a bit below the first part.
last part its starts below the 2nd part and then halfway through when you can see it look at the base of the sprout there is 2 walking around there
video is sped up a little bit makes it easier to see them.

yo emo, i saw the little bug crawling around, but that doesnt look like a spider mite, they r wayy smaller than that and live on your leaves. if it was spider mites u most likely wont be able to see them on the soil, just on the bottom of the leaves. but how many would u say u see crawling around? i would get some neem oil and spray just a tad on ur plants.

I don't think you should flush it just yet. Give it a week and if you see any drastic changes I would worry then.

hi there mate i work in pest control( killin bugs and vermon for a living ) to me it looks like mites you would find in bird dropings etc has you soil got anythin mixed throw it like woodchipings etc ? am headin out in 5 mins so try get a close up pics and i will have a good look at it once am back in house (3 hours or so ) .
if it is mites they shuld not feed from your plant the prefer blood

I just went out and bought some hot pepper wax and a 25x lens, i scooped some a sample of the soil and set it in a smaller cotainer then tried to find the bugs but still have no luck... it seems like i can only see them on my webcam in very close up/sharp picture and even then they're so small you have to watch it in a fast forwarded motion to see them move around... what could this be? i can't even see them with my eyes

well i spoted 4 mites on your first vid on youtube.....................
in my opinion they defo are bird mites i think they have came in with your soil or if you have birds nesting in you loft space or roof etc this would cause mites
they can survive for 4 months with out feeding on blood so where ever your got your soil from they could have the infestation and your soil was used by the mites as a place for them to lay there eggs

Thanks for the reply.
would these cause a problem at any point? one of my plants i sprayed with hot pepper wax and i am currently waiting for the outcome but scared to use on other plants until we know what we are dealing with and what to do.
=[
could these be anything else then bird mites?
