Really? Looked at lots of aphid pics. I thought fruit fly, than fungus gnat for sure. So what do I do after diagnosis here? I have 3-6 weeks to go on all plants. And insecticidal soap. Canada so no neem. Can I mist whole plants with buds?
Only ever dealt with them outside in the veggie garden, and mostly the non-winged kind. We just spray them off with the hose. The weed garden is a bit higher stakes, but I'd still try spraying off as many as you can with water first.

After reading that article, and looking at pics im honestly more convinced there fungus gnats. Only because there all the same. Where as aphids mature and are different in colour before the black with wings. All I see is black with wings. That appeared what seemed like overnight.Only ever dealt with them outside in the veggie garden, and mostly the non-winged kind. We just spray them off with the hose.

Ok. Fair enough. I’m more concerned about what the hell to do in my situation. So aphids it is.There are lots of Species of Aphids and they can be green, black, translucent, orange, you name it.

At this point I'd still go with the article's recommendation of spraying with plain water first, when it's sunny out so it evaporates quickly. If they're persistent then go for something more serious.
Awesome thank you. Good news that they might be moving on than. And a really nice 24C day today. I just worry about rain everyday now but if a spray today I’d predict it evaporate quickly. I’ll be out there giving some dry nutes, and watering wells anyway. So I’ll spray em down good. Thanks.
You think there gnats then?
No there straight in the dirt.
Look great,next yr spray the soap a couple of times before flower,this will insure aphids stay off.You cant really do anything now.Check with a loupe or scope and see what they are.
Thanks. Yes. I’ll definitely treat early. I posted the pics at start of thread. Get a pretty good pic from them. But they look like either. Black with wings aphid. Or a fungus gnat. Lol. To this inexperienced eye anyway. I can definitely take the mist on the garden hose to them soon. It’s sunny and 24C today. Should be a worry to add to bud rot I hope. We have rain this week coming anyway with way less cooler temps.
I’m quite sure after just looking zoomed in it’s got to be an aphid. Black winged aphid I typed in and it’s so similar. The gnats look more like mosquitos. So I think going back a few posts a water spray, with today being hot and sunny not a bad idea as now that there all winged there ready to move on. Damage probably done.
The mosquito dunks from the local garden center really work on fungus gnats.
