Hey, I have little black bugs flying around in my soil. I think they're starting to eat at my leaves. The leaves are starting to look like there are tares and drying up? I'll have pics soon. Any ideas if these two are related? or how to get rid of the bugs? I just started 12/12 three days ago. Help please...

you have fungus gnats - not a big deal clean area make sure no old rock wool or anything

damp and dark is lying around the love stuff like that diatomaceous earth sprinkled around the base of plants helps the gnats lay eggs in the soil/rockwool resulting maggots
feed on root hairs and only cause problems if u ignore them and they get out of control
don't over water let the plants dry out a bit between watering u should be OK
