  4. Aphids have cornicles which are two smokes-stack like structures on the last segment of the insect. These cornicles are unique to aphids and no other creatures have them. no cornicles = not aphids. From a quick glance those are gnats but i'll keep digging into my books.

    Edit: Also very few aphids are winged. Food for thought.

  5. Winged aphids have rounded bodies while fungus gnats have pointed bodies. I figure this will be the most helpful if they are winged aphids

  6. looks like gnats, put a layer of perlite or sand on top of your medium to keep them away.

  7. Looks like gnats to me. Get rid of them by watering with a mixture of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water. Good luck!

  8. I killed the fuck out of them with seven dust. Root drench and on plants. Saw a big difference the first day plants started praying immediately after thought I was doing some thing wrong but they look good now and no flyers [​IMG]

  10. Can you add the perlite on top of wet soil? I watered my plant and then realized it had gnats chilling in the soil and flying
