If they are winged, but they can't fly they are most likely root aphids. Very difficult to get rid of.

keylime Reviewed by keylime on . little bugs living in hydroton & all around roots that are above water... so yeah. if you lift up the dwc bucket lid you can see a bunch of little mite looking bugs chilling tough on the netpot where the roots are coming out...eating the roots maybe? the babies are clear/tan and the bigger ones are black. the black ones are now crawling out of the hydroton and out of the buckets. they crawl really slowly...there are a bunch all over the floor of the grow cab. wtf? are these just immature fungus gnats that have yet to sprout their wings or something?
