I have tiny little critters in my coco, they come to the surface of the water when I feed the girls.
I noticed them a week or so after adding enzymes.
They haven't effected my plants as far as I can tell.
Nematodes maybe?
@discobiscuitt They look like springtails mate but springtails are white.... are they white and the light is just making them look dark?
Nah there a dark colour.. Don't look like spring tails to me, I had them before.
Scanned the net, but got very different answers
Thanks for the speedy response
There super small, like 1/10 of a grain of rice
Look just like springtails mate but i have never seen dark ones like this, that's the only thing i can think of lol. Im not sure what else they could be
I think your right to be honest, I've been doing a smege of research and pretty sure your right.
Ones I had before were a light colour and were bigger , only in soil though.
There harmless anyway right?
I can barely see the fucking things with my eyes
I’m agreeing with macky. Springtails come in different species like everything else.
These are all over my woodworking this time of year. I just recorded this 10 minutes ago. They are “cotton springtails” and like the others are harmless. We had an explosion of these this year and I was concerned they would get into my grow but they turned out to be good guys and only east decaying plant material, like sawdust apparently.
Random acts of kindness make the world a better place
@monkeydo appreciate your input.
Mine are a lot smaller and I can't really tell apart from the body's or any sort of antenna on there heads.
They've been there for long enough that if they were hurting my plants I would have noticed by now.
I'll try and get a video of them tomorrow.
They live in the coco and only come to the surface when watering, they also collect in my buckets from fun off
If anything I think there somewhat beneficial from what I've read.

These look and sound like my little friends
Springtales confirmed
i love my springtail its like im watering my plants with fizzy Perrier water lol the way those guys bounce around on the surface
@schroomy I was a bit worried but after a lot of reading it's seems there quite a good thing to have in somewhat small numbers, apparently they eat dead materials and break down into nutrition for the root zone.
I'll keep my little friends
