What are these black bugs

[Shayne010944]

Anyone got any ideas what these may be .

little very small flying bugs. There hanging around the top of the coco and rim of the pots.
I’ve searched fungus gnats but they don’t look like them .
These things are tiny .

I’ve added yellow sticky traps and been catching them but they are still in there too.
Can only catch a eye on them sometimes

That will work well.
The active ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), a fungus that kills fungus gnat larvae (it's also great for killing mosquito larvae too!).

But fungus gnats are a sure sign you are overwatering a bit.

I filter my A/c vent to my tent room with panty hose lol and I wait 10 minutes to go in the tent when coming from outside or my basement (where there's lots of moisture) got to do all that you can to prevent but it's still hard

Buds haven't set on those plants yet. Go buy a product with Spinosad in it and knock those flyers out in one application.

ended up using the yellow sticky traps and a product called gnat rid or something like that. its volcanic rock crushed into small pieces with no chemicals. layed 2cm layer over the pots and that combined with the traps have gotten rid of them ..
