If i ever see mold I'll usually put springtails in the pot and the mold will eventually go away

Get your self a culture and put them to work. They like dead plant vegetation, fungus and animal feces....

Nope, not unless they are rotting. A month and a half ago I planted over 12 different cp seed species and I see springtails in all the pots but still plenty of germination. Springtails only eat dead, decaying matter.
