Video of little bugs. Help?

These don’t fly at all. They are small and white. I )it’s want to ,ale sure before they spread. They are on about two pots only. That I can see.....
 
Does he grow indoors ? What soil? Also how are the plants? Still healthy showing no sign of definciencys? Do you only see them on pot when dry? And can there be thousands? Little tail pipes coming out ass? I’ve had a problem like this but I need more info
 
Indoors. Basement. We use coco.. I really do only see when they dry out and the plants have sign of a little burn on the tips.
 
Burn on tips seem like Nute burn.. if all else looks healthy like mine was then you don’t have to worry.. at first I thought they was aphids in my grow I read so much info on them I was ready to do two things nuke my plants with bad things (merit) or just cut them all down only problem is my plants was perfect nothing wrong and if they was aphids I was sure to see a problem in flower.. but never did! I thought it was so gross I hate any little bugs but mine turned out to be hypoasis miles which was only predator mites for fungus gnat larvae not sure how they even got into my room but it was a good thing... now if they start to fly the. You have aphids or if your plants take a turn for the worst and almost die then it’s aphids another quick way to check is let plants dry a little and put out from the pot and look at the roots if you see them bugs all over Roots and they are brown good chance it’s aphids.. if plants stay healthy no worries

If you can get closer to investigate them with a macro lense etc

One thing I’ve seen pop up time and time again is MOULD MITES scientific name “Tyrophagus putrescentiae”

These feed on any mould that could be within the medium.

I’ve had them a few times and they don’t impact on plant performance.

As your roots grow more a rhizosphere is created in the medium you’re using.

This rhizosphere has a lot of symbiotic micro-organisms and relationships going on.

One being bacteria and fungi.

Tyrophagus putrescentiae Eat fungi aka mould.

So usually although unsightly aren’t a problem.
