it won’t let me load the video. I have a really good video of it. I’ll post the pics but really can’t see them in pic hardly.

I have done two soil drenches with azomax and foilared twice also with azomax I haven’t seen them on the leaves just on the outside of the pots every time I water. This will be my first pest problem please help. I’m guessing it came from the soil that I planted in this year.

@Mañ'O'Green I’m sorry it won’t let me upload thevideo. U have have helped me so much over the years. If there was a way I could email you the video I would. They are so tiny and they have like little antennas maybe it looks like they congregate at the tops of the fabric pots. And on the outside of the air pots

Can you go into your phone settings put on manual and use macro? Or do you have a magnifying glass that you can take a pic through? Another trick is kill one without squashing then drop a drop of water on the body and take a pic
 
cant really tell from pics so check your plants. generally, spider mites focus on plant tissue, not on the outside of pots, but better safe than sorry. possibly juvenile compost mite but thats highly speculative.
