Are they fruit flies? Do you have pictures of these flies?

I would start out by putting up a couple rolls of fly tape around your rez/plant

dude your sweet, you filled out the form for bugs. without pics of em its hard to tell what they are.

in veg id hang a no pest strip for 24 hours to a week depending on what im killing , i do and when i come in everything is dead.

do exactly this and apply gently to leaves were infested and pull off after a week or so you should have the majority of them make sure to clean your res. too

i think they are fungus gnats. they have a greyish back on them. im going to give my res a good scrub with H2O2 and im gonna stick up some fly traps. hopefully i will get rid of these bastards

this sounds weird but it works GREAT on ALL bugs. take 5 or 6 used/smoked thru cigarette butts and put them in a spray bottle half full of water, let it brew for a while, then spray entire plant if they are in flowering stage be sure to rinse off after a day or so. do this until bugs are gone. be sure to flush plants with distilled water for a week or so before harvesting. if not rinsed and flushed buds will taste harsher. hope this helps bro:jointsmile:
