not sure on what bug i got

i noticed yesterday that i have these gnat or mosquito like bugs living on my soil, miracle gro. i am running five plants 400mh in veg right now 20 hrs of light, and i water about a regular size water bottle once a day split between all five plants.
what are these, they are to small for a pick? are they bad and what should i do?

Unless there are swarms of them, dont panic, just cover the soil with something.

i have the exact same problem, though mine are outdoors.. wormslayer what do you recommend?? for the soil treatment

put an inch or two of sand on top of the soil, let the soil dry out completely before watering, and buy some pest strips, you'll be rid of those fungus gnats in no time!

On my last grow I pushed my finger into the soil to see how moist it was and thousands of little white mites came out of the dirt. I used a 3 in 1 fungicide,incecticide,miticide. I just sprayed a little on the dirt and in a week no more mites.
