The little jumper is a springtail, not related to the other larvae in your vid.

Your soil bugs most likely came with the soil you bought. The broads came from Thc biomed.

I missed your vid somehow, but I see nematodes and springtails

I probably should have filmed mine. Mine were white, very thing, and sort of long. Not overly long but compared to their width. They didn't jump around but were just swimming around the top of the water. There were some smaller rounder bugs I noticed in soil originally. I use blue sky organics super soil from Vernon. I wonder if they add the nematodes. Either way I have pests attacking my shit. I hope I'm making progress one way or another.

Thc biomed is a very messed up company,,, C.E.O called me once yelling at me because they f'd up... Passing out root aphids and broad mites, cancelling customer accounts if you try and complain... Keep in mind they read every word on here...I'm ready to lawyer up if anyone else want to combine lawsuits....

Keep in mind there are good nematodes and not so good nematodes.

Well I've had springtails in my coco before, some say leave them alone and I did just to find out if they don't have enough dead organic matter to eat, they will make food out of your root hairs etc.
The spinosad will wipe them out too.

There are many different kinds of nematodes. Some are predatory and get rid of nasty organisms in the soil. Good for them! Many others eat decaying plant matter, and are a helpful part of the natural cycle of things (outdoors!) Some kinds are nasty pests and will attack roots and bulbs.

I feel you on the spinosad man. I keep finding brown chunks on my leaves. Makes me feel like I have thrips as well. Haven't seen a bug in a while.

I am looking into perhaps going DWC.. any experience with it? the idea of not dealing with any soil dwelling pests and never having to worry about overwatering and just keeping one central tank of fluid at the right ppm, ph, and temp.. is somwhat appealing..

I haven't grown using DWC, just to warn you though it may help you out with soil dwelling bugs, but I've seen DWC with springtails before and mites etc can still invade a crop.
I would still be in favour of DWC than soil. I use to grow using a recirculating system in rockwool.

Still so confused about what my problem even is lol..
Was going great for a few days but sure enough the leaves are dying and growth is still very slow.. The purpling has never stopped and now is stsrting to harden up.. Just look at how purple the opium plant is now.. And new growth is green for May be one or two days..
The seedlings next to her sre also not growing as nicely as the one I took away from this tent.
What is wrong with there leaves...notice the red center veins..

Funny gambit, I've been thinking the same lately. I enjoy organic soil growing too much to switch just yet. Been a week or so since I removed all the soil from my plants, cleaned everything, and re potted in new everything. I also rinsed roots under warm water there wasn't a spec of anything left on the roots. They've miraculously recovered. First time in a while my plants have started to look healthy. I am thinking you've still got bugs in the soil man.
You're leaves look so similar to mine. The turn on the tips, with the pale green look, and those black spots. All was happening with the bugs in my soil.
