About 3 weeks in I started seeing these little whitish fuckers in the soil. It's usually only one plant at a time, I only see them in the morning when the light comes on and then I douse the top of the soil with some organic pesticide (clove oil, rosemary oil, etc. concoction) and it seems to kill them off. But usually a week or so later they will pop up in a different pot. Every time I have sprayed I hit all the pots. The first time I made the mistake of dousing the entire plant top to bottom which burnt some leaves...so now I just do the top of the soil.
As far as I can tell they don't seem to give a shit about the plants but remain in the soil and up around the edge of the pot. So here's the best pics I could get of them. I'm thinking they are either spider mites or soil lice maybe? I'm wondering if they happen to be beneficial bugs by chance? (Soil was Scott's waterlock potting soil.)
What would be the recommended method to stomp a mud hole in their little faces? Neem oil instead of my organic crapola or just go to a regular dousing of the infected plants with the stuff I have?
Thanks in advance! =)
