Can anyone tell me these are they don't seem to be causing any problems yet. They look like gnats to me but also like a beetle. They are soft and make a green mark when squashed.

See those little horns on it's butt?
Them's root aphids.
That, is a major hassle.
They make the borg look like a bargain.
Google them and here's the best information;
Fungus gnats or WINGED ROOT APHIDS??? - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums (http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=159960&highlight=root+aphids) .

I wish you luck with them.
They killed my grow. Had to tear it down and start over.
