Hi all,

I'm pretty sure these guys aren't too much of an issue (yet), but i just wanted to confirm what they are.

So my tent is sealed up tighter than Fort Knox, my 6 lil puppies are barely a week into veg, and i open the tent to give a foliar feeding this morning, and as i sprayed i saw about 2-3 of these little-winged invaders take flight, managed to pull them out, but i probably didn't get them all.

Are they just fungus gnats? Fruit Flies...?

It's a puzzle, my tent is essentially airtight, even the air intake to the fan and filter has a stocking over it to make sure nothing can get in, but somehow in just under 2 weeks they have crawled in.

Growing in coco and only started nuting 6 days ago.

As always, any help on identifying from the pics below, greatly appreciated.

P.S - the fly looks weird in the pic, it was one that couldn't fly away, had another dead fly physically stuck to him which is how i got the close up...

Thanks in advance,

looks like fungus gnats. I've never used coco, but once in while I'll get some free of charge with my soil.
