    Are these little bastards going to be a problem? They don't seem to be on the plant at all but I have a feeling they're eating the nutrients my gorgeous girl needs..

    Here's a video:

    Let me know what they are, and if the fuckers need exterminating, and with what..

    Springtails indeed. While they wont harm your plant, having that many is usually a sign of overwatering.

    let your soil dry out in between waterings. That should take care of it.

    Yeah I believe this deals with the issue as my pepper plants no longer have them..

    so would that be my problem as well? I seen them in the bucket near the soil and around the edge of the bucket, but havent noticed any on the plant, I watered my plants and 30 min later noticed these little bugs

    Yep looks like springtails as well. They like to come out when there's lots of water around.
