Tiny white bugs in soil?

Indoor Growing Organics
#1

Tiny little white bugs all over the soil after i watered. They seem to only come up after i water and go back down pretty quickly. Are these a pest or beneficial since im growing organic?
Really having a rough time with organic growing. Its like an art with a lot of science behind it lol. Im a stoner but i do have half a brain i would say so i am up for the challenge but i may bit off more than i can chew with 6 different strains. Between keeping soil ph perfect and the plants green im getting ready to pull my hair out. Oh and they have been in 1 gal fab pots for over a month so watering everyday.

Got a little off topic there but any advice on these bugs?

They look like springtails.

If you are having trouble with your plants in organic soil, could be they need to be up potted. You mentioned your in 1 gal pots for over a month.
If you don’t want any trouble going organic try a much bigger pot. The bigger the pot in organic growing the easier it is to grow.

So thats what I usually do i start in a 3gal and transplant to 5gal before flower but this time i wanted to switch things up and become more efficient and run 1gals until plants were sexed. Its been over a month and plants are just finally starting to show sex. Some i think are herms. Instead of a hair or ball it looks like a new branch top is forming.

Having some deficiencies on a few plants. I did a soil test and the plants that i think are locked out are also completely depleted of nitrogen. (Well the one i tested is completly out so i assume the other is aswell. Shit i assume all of the plants are depleted even tho a recent ppm of one of the plants came out at over 1800. Idk what to think anymore lol)

I have two sticky glue fem freebies from in house than are both showing same exact signs.

I did a soil ph test on the sticky glue #1 and and it was alkaline. i assumed every plant would have same reading as that one. (Idk why i would think that) so i never tested the stick glue #2 or any of the others in the tent. Then i hit everything with 5.5ph water and the soil test came back acidic for stickt glue #1 which is what i was hoping for. Then today i soil ph test sticky glue #2 and the soil is very acidic like 4.5ph according to chart.

So now im feeding 6.5 ph to every plant again.
But i noticed these critters and now i have another thing to worry about. Well maybe not from what you guys say which is a relief. Gonna start watering every other day from now on.

Man i could go all night about this shit lol

Sticky glue #2 and sticky glue #1
Believed to be locked out. Working on keeping a balanced soil ph.
Also sticky glue #2 is complete depleted of N and K.

Hey its the og cannaversary 7 years OG!!! Smoke up! Celebrate this good time. I like the organic idea, but can you tell me what made you go that route? And does just dirt and water qualify as organic? Because a lot of the time I’ve just done that. Then the other half I use salt nutes.

I just love the idea of natural and organic growing.

Usually im just using bottled organic nutes and organic soil but this time i got put on to SIPs and living soil so things are getting switched up a bit right now.
