They are spingtails looks like the snow flea type they are good for your crop as they eat all the fungi and shit dont worry about it.

@MrKingKANEkong you did not just say this to me... you must be crazy in your head..to ever think there bugs are good!! there are a few bugs out there,that will do work for your garden.but sorry sir these bug were not those types..some fungi are good to have...its called a food web in your root mass.

@skate4theherb they are rootaphids, Imidacloprid is the only thing that kills them. local garden center will have it. bayer tree and shrub 7 ml per gallon. flood the shit out your roots and flush through the tops of net pots like 20 times. make sure your mother plants dont have them. these fuckers will grow wings after awhile and travel to all your shit. good luck. they will kill plants if you wait.

You might want to try Natrol. You will find it at your Hydro store.

Dude, DO NOT EVER MAKE A JOURNAL OF ANYTHING YOU DO WEED RELATED. I got pulled over in Iowa and my friend had his journal with him, they read it, and tried to raid our house with us stuck at the station. Luckily we both had old drivers licences with different addresses on them than where we were really staying at, so they never found the crops, but man, that was a close call. DO NOT MAKE A JOURNAL OF SHIT.

Hey there, just had the same problem with the little black bugs in my res. I'm also using clay pebbles and I noticed when I agitated the top layer of the pebbles some fungus gnats flew out. My local hydro store owner suggested some Gnatrol to add to my water and to also lay yellow sticky traps right above the hydroton. The Gnatrol worked great on the larvae and the sticky traps took care of the adults. Hope I'm not to late to help and keep the vids coming.
