Those look like winged root aphids. Do a thorough check of your roots and see if you can find any crawlers.
How does CO2 fumigation work?
If you get some yellow sticky traps you can catch a few of the flyers. From a picture it is very hard to tell the difference between Root Aphids and Fungal Gnats. If you get them on a yellow stick trap you can examine them under a jewelers loop and compare to internet pictures to determine in they are root aphids or fungal gnats.
Basically it involves raising CO2 to 15,000 ppm at 25C for 48 hours. You would need a 100% airtight area and you won't be able to do this with anything you want to survive is in there. This method is called CATT (Controlled Atmosphere Temperature Treatment) and it was 100% effective on tulip gall mites and was more effective than any known treatment on other bulb mites. Longer durations would likely wipe them out entirely. Just be aware this is very dangerous for humans and other living things!

I know they make mention of plants but what they are actually treating is the bulbs, so putting cannabis plants under those conditions may or may not be the best idea. You are going to lose terpenes with that method that start to cook off at 85 degrees. Probably not the best idea, perhaps some pure crop 1 would be a better solution. Safe to day of harvest!Basically it involves raising CO2 to 15,000 ppm at 25C for 48 hours.

Tulip gall mite cannot withstand high temperatures
The dry bulb mite (Aceria tulipae) in tulips can be controlled by storing tulip bulbs for 48 hours at a temperature of 25 ° C with low oxygen and high CO2-level. This treatment has no adverse effects on the flower bulbs themselves. These are the major results of research by the Business Unit...
Yeah this is not something to try with living plants, but between grows.
I read somewhere that CO2 will suffocate them anyway so is there a need to raise the tem?Basically it involves raising CO2 to 15,000 ppm at 25C for 48 hours.

15,000 PPM is not lethal for humans. Greater than 40,000 PPM can be. This is Carbon dioxide not Carbon Monoxide.Basically it involves raising CO2 to 15,000 ppm at 25C for 48 hours.

You need to reread that article because this is not true!
I have seen videos of root aphids defending themselves pretty effectively from nematodes. Have you checked your roots for crawlers?
Definitely damn gnats or thrips
Please read your post above and the article once again. You need to understand the difference between percentages and parts per million. You are wrong. 15,000 parts per million is 1.5 percent of 1,000,000.15,000 ppm (15%) CO2 is the threshold of lethality.

Yes my bad, thanks for fixing my mistake.
