There are little tiny white bugs. They almost look like a super thin, small grain of rice. Just sprayed more neem oil. This is week 2. What else can I do?

Try watering with a 4:1 water:hydrogen peroxide mix. Make sure you’re using a 3% HP, otherwise you’ll need to dilute even more.

It’s difficult to see the details. It could be soil mites which come in several colors including white and brown. Some types aren’t harmful. Others can eat roots. Check online for videos and photos of them that might match the ones you have. 🪴🍀

Springtails are a possibility. Also your soil looks rather wet, check for potential overwatering issues

If you can get clearer pictures, there's people over on Reddit who can help with identifying it (whatsthisbug is pretty good). Without knowing what they are, it's hard to suggest an effective treatment, if treatment is even necessary.
