There's no need to kill those bugs. Hypoaspis miles is a predator, but it looks like your spring tails far outnumber them. I bought 15000 hypos for my grow room to combat fungus gnats.
And spring tails... I got 1,000,000+ probably but I couldn't care less about them.
Well actually i believe the springtails can cause damage and are the reason one of my plants looks the way it does. I did a internet search of "springtails and cannabis" and finally saw a similar looking plant to mine.
Ok so here's my plant
And here's from the Internet of a guy who said he had springtails
damn i would say some of those look like thrips to me
I used Jacks dead bugbrew which has spinosad I apply it once and then 3 days after that to get the hatching eggs.
Hope this helps.

If those are springtails they can be beneficial more of a nuisance than anything. The easiest way to control them is to not over water, they like moist soil same as funfus gnats. Here's some info if you're interested. http://www.paghat.com/springtails.html
yeah that kinda does and something else when i got thrips they left the lighter green imprints on the leaf but they didnt make them crinkle like that granted I also had a minor infestation so maybe thats just what happens when it gets a bit worse.but if they are springtails they arent bad for your plant just kinda annoying make sure you let the first inch of your soil dry out completely before watering many pests can thrive in moist top soil!
The only way "i" know if they're springtails is if you touch them, they'll jump/hop/teleport.
Thrips i dont think do that. Also thrips live under the leaf? maybe you should check under the leaves.
I've noticed from a lot of googling/worry that thrips and springtails can look VERY similar. Thats why i suggest you touch them.
Maybe you have both..!!
What's your humidity and temperature in the photo where your plant is?
