I have had springtails. They are no problem at all. Kind of cute in a tiny, wriggly, jumpy kind of way. They will not leave the soil surface or bother your plant at all.
PhatJay Reviewed by PhatJay on . Microscopic Critter in my Soil !! Anyone hazard a guess as to what they are ?? Anyone know what these little critters are ? I think I broke his little antennae ! Opps :) I found them in my last grow too. It seems that when I water they rise to the surface and I can see them moving around. There are quite a lot of them in the soil. Strange little fellas but I don't think they do any damage to the plants. Anyone know what they are ? They are tiny by the way. The last 2 photos are taken with a 400x USB microscope focused on about 350x. That will tell how how small Rating: 5
