    little black bugs?

    Indoor setup.
    I have a bug problem but i dont know what they are. the bugs are too small to take a picture but i will describe them. They are black, .2 cm long, if you look at the cm side of the ruler and look at the tiny lines...thats the size of em.


    Can you tell what it is?

    Do they fly? It's hard to tell anything from your pic but that's about the size of a fungus gnat. Check around the surface of your soil and see if there are more hanging out there.

    I think your right about the nat. i saw something flying around, but it wasnt a fly. Is this bad and how do i kill em without killing my babies?

    They're not terribly bad for your plants. More of an annoyance but also an indicator that something is too wet. Check for excess moisture somewhere in your grow environment.

    I use those yellow sticky insect catcher thingies. Set one on your pot rim and the gnats will be gone pretty quickly.

    I dont have that sticky stuff but i will try some tape colored yellow if that will work.

    I picked up one of the bugs and it had wings so its a gnat for sure.

    i had the same problem when i was growing recently, ironicly it look like they were getting stuck to tri's on the plant. I recently harvested and had to pick them all off with twissors ( i dont want to smoke them, lol), before hanging them to dry. I inquired about them before on here and found that alot of growers use the yellow fly traps. Next time i will set them out before flower, so i dont have the same problem. It might be your best bet.
