In my opinion those are mites. Not root aphids. Most likely mold mites such as Tyrophagus. They feed on fungus in the soil and can also potentially be a pest and spread fungal disease to roots which have been chewed on by fungus gnat larvae.

I didn't see the faster bugs but possibly Hypoaspis Miles, a natural predator of fungus gnat larvae as well as mold/bulb mites. Hypoaspis Miles come packed with Tyrophagus putrescentiae as a food sources when you order them.

The worms I didn't see in the video but are probably fungus gnat larvae, easy to identify if they are clear and have a black head.

Edit : neem will do nothing to these mites. You could try Spinosad or Beauveria bassiana (entomopathogenic fungi), but nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) as well as Hypoaspis Miles or Stratiolaelaps scimitus Womersley are probably your best options.

2nd Edit : Closer look I definitely see fungus gnat larvae.

3rd Edit :

These links may be of interest as well as reading about Tyrophagus putrescentiae. No clue exactly what type of mite you have, maybe an entomologist could provide some insight. I wouldn't be surprised if you inspected your drainage holes with magnification and saw mites on the roots as well. In favorable environmental conditions you will even potentially see them on your foliage. I'm sure some people will disagree but I'd say they are absolutely a pest even if they are just a mold mite rather than bulb mite. Not really an issue if there is a healthy predator population (nematodes + Hypoaspis) controlling them.

How To Control Bulb Mites

Bulb mites are opportunistic and increase damage created by fungus gnats and some soil diseases. Improve sanitization and target primary pests.

Natural Controls for Bulb Mites & similar soil pests

When present, Bulb mites are usually in groups or colonies. All developmental stages are present throughout the year. The number of eggs produced by female bulb mites varies widely with the host plant, host plant quality and temperature. Some species can lay more than 400 eggs, with an upper...

99% sure what i have BULB MITES, supposed to be impossible to kill and hard with predators, they feed on roots, they are not good guys
i can't do much but throw away my soil and pots after harvest, clean and PREVENT in my next grow, i'm getting predators for my my clones in the other room that are not visually affected yet

i lot of my plants are looking like i'm going to get a good harvest either way but it sucks that i'm probably not going to get the full potential out of every pheno that i'm hunting, specially the dragon's blood that are getting absolutely huge buds, if i had to pick now i have a amazing smelling and chunky dense old soul

but this is probably my smallest mountain temple, man i love those

Agreed that they are either bulb mites or just mold mites (not as big of a deal, but still a pest if populations aren't kept in check in my opinion), and not Hypoaspis. Hypoaspis are often times present and also feed on them, but one problem is the bulb mites also live in areas Hypoaspis don't prefer such as deep in the soil as well as on the stems and foliage. There isn't a lot of forum info out there on these mites and are almost always misdiagnosed as Hypoaspis miles or root aphids. Also be careful with seedlings, they will decimate an emerging seedling before the cotyledon can emerge.

Yeah I got lost down the rabbit hole last night looking up chem history. Made me even more excited about running it. Sounds like the chem91 skunkva cut is the best of the chems.

Best female Devil's HP out of the pack. Early impression and is subject to change with time.

1 week cure vaporized @ 355-360F.

DevilsHP.jpg

+ Above average potency but not extremely high.
+ Night time meds : Relaxing and functional. Puts me in a trance.

-/+ Better than OG offerings at local dispensary, but probably not standout enough to be worthy of keeping.
-/+ Smell of the vapor is extremely strong, but taste isn't that intense.

- Average smell.
- Low Calyx to Leaf ratio

Did you take cuts of everything before you put them into flower?

Still have 2/4 mutant looking runts of Lazy Lightning in veg. May cull these and just go on. Not one of my favorites.

Got 2 Babylon Buster at 5 weeks, both big, one huge. They are making flowers fast and the bigger of the 2 is hard to keep up with, showing slight deficiencies. Very big and strong frame, excellent for training.

Old Soul in my old Aluminum Vapor Genie, hard hitter if you have good breath and flame control. Still haven’t seen a harder hitting vape, but combustion mistakes can happen.u

CORRECTION! My 2 female Bing are fine at 14 days!
Misidentified my own polyhibreed Chuck for Bing this morning, having found 4/6 males at 4 days.
SORRY!

How do you know for sure they are males after only 4 days in the flower tent? I’m at day 9ish and think I’m starting to see some tiny balls.

Oh man!! it was purple inside when i was trimming but it's black now, and has huge chunks of "honey" inside, super super cool sweet tasting the only granola funk outta 6 that was female, this was the 1st nug i broke up open i'm sure i'm going to see more honey spots in other nugs, it's also super heavy and dense, the denser weed i've grow
granola funk v2

oh yeah, what is that?

Some plants have shown me little balls in just 2 days of 12/12. I chucked those guys. Showing balls so fast says they have too much dark-time sensitivity and a greater chance of autoflowering i think.
I read in this thread, the more “desirable” (none-autoflowering) the plant, the longer it will take to show sex.
Just like the lady plants, my wife also doesnt want me to show balls too quickly either.
