What mites are these?

Good morning/afternoon/evening OG,

I’ve been dealing with these guys for a while… treated with Captain Jack’s twice and been looking around for them.
-Slow, translucent, many legs
Soil mite? Never seen webbing, never spotted a red one. Haven’t found any leaf damage.

Last grow they hung around my roots and I trashed that one mid summer. Same ones hung around my current grow’s roots before I treated. Treated, didn’t see any for ~1 1/2 weeks, before now when I spotted some on the side of my fabric pots. None around the visible roots at the top of the soil (that I saw). This leads me to believe they’re hanging around the soil bits. Maybe harmless?
Just worries me that they are slow.

Thanks!

Sounds like soil mites or if they can jump, springtails…
They are harmless decomposers. Indoors their population can get ‘out of control’ without a predator to keep them in check but still basically harmless.
