I am watering/flushing my plants today and noticed that when there’s a pool of water it’s filled with microscopic larvae work like things. Wtf ! Maybe this has been my problem. I used grub grenade predatory mites so I don’t know why I have larvae or something unless they are good ones. ? Any help ?

Giving plants a break only 16 gals in and need to flush 35 gal pots ugh. I will take a picture shortly when I do the next round

Never mind. I found out they are springtails. Some research says good and bad. As long as their are not a lot, this being outdoor. But I’m not sure. Must be from the rain lately.

Are you letting the plant dry out at all?

They were getting there and then I got some rain, but I need to give them a flush so they are getting that today. my pots are big 35 gal fabric so total dry is not a possibility. It’s been 7 days since I watered but it has rained here and there only decent amount once yesterday morning.

Thinking they came from work castings from the new layer or just random from the moisture ‍ Just don’t need anymore issues
