Clear Worms

I am growing in live soil for the first time using Earth Dust. This morning I found some little clear worms in my run off. Can anyone tell me what these are? I'm hoping they are nematodes. TIA

Thank you for checking and responding. I don't remember seeing them listed in the ingredients but easily could have overlooked it-

I believe GH is General Hydroponics you mentioned using-

@Dr. Ozzy I was not satisfied with what the green sunshine co told me that they were nematodes so I did some more research. I ended up discarding my purple haze auto and soil due to the fact that I found out that they are root maggots and the soil was infested with them.

@louis laycock Crazy. I'm curious, what brand of soil were you using?

GH probably fried them off.

@louis laycock general hydroponics. at Times bottled nutes can kill off certain beneficial bacteria and other living organisms.

I use Eart Dust all the time and I have never seen anything like that. Could it be from your soil?

@Dr. Ozzy So I reached out to The Green Sunshine Co. And they said that they are beneficial nematodes. I tried looking them up and could not find anything that looked like that. They are only in the soil with earth dust in it. I checked all my other plants that I am using floraflex and the ones using general hydroponics and no sign of them.
