    a wile ago i had fungus nats in my grow room and they have gone
    but now there is a ton of little white mites in the soil
    they are so small i could hardly see them at all
    are they the nats larve
    is there any way to get rid of them
    what do they do to a plant

    If they are soil mites, no problem; they are a sign of good, healthy soil. My flower bed is full of them. They don't harm the plants.

    Get one under a microscope and identify it.

    Yeah like -mu said, you gotta identify them and pronto

    Are they v-small and white, jump when you move the soil? check the runoff and if you can see them on the surface tension of the water then there probably springtails

    Don't worry, they eat algae and moss.

    they are small as salt and off white
    when i look at them under the magnifing glass what am i looking for
    so far they only crawl on the soil no jumping
