what am i dealing with?

Im thinking some type of sphid yet i see some type of fly as well. Pics are what i see, hopefully you can tell what they are.
Thank you for your help.

Stopping off to get neem oil and sticky traps, not sure if i should get something eles.

Describe them to me can't see them.

spider mites - remedy 50/50 mix of dish soap and water they spray the plant daily for one week - watch them slide off o also good idea to clean your grow area if possible

I think they are a root mite/aphid of some kind. As well as fungus nats.
I transplanted the plants from the soil to a make shift hempy pot.
The plants have been sprayed so far no pest, but the girls-are not looking good.

Thank you all for your responses.

Well if its gnats I'd let the medium go dry and when u water only water enough to moisten the medium. Try to keep ur medium as dry as possible and put a mixture of apple cider vinegar with some dish soap in a bowl somewhere in ur grow, it will attract the gnats and they will drown in it. The soap will coat them and they won't be able to fly and lay more eggs in ur medium. B very careful, they are very easy to kill but the larva r some. Evil lil shits. They attack ur root system and will kill ur plants very important to not over water till they r all gone.

You might be correct - want you mentioned is great information - soil change might be the last resort

Now 4 the aphids or crawlers tangle foot might help along with manual removal. Squishy squishy.

Let top of soil dry!
Dunk bottom of your pot ~ 4" to water for a week.

I'm trying to catch a praying mantis so he can be my grow room pet.

Ok, well i have not been on in a while. Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have replied.

Update:

I cleaned and scrubbed my tent. I went to home depot and picked up two bottles of pesticides, they seemed to have worked.
My plants did get funky looking like they had a deficiency of some type, but are growing nicely.
The root systems have come back really strong in the auto the other is a little slower but is looking nice.

Made makeshift hempy pots.

I did change out my soil. Threw it out. Yes perhapps a bit drastic but i dont have time to dick around. Now they are in a hydro setup, getting more grow nutes tomorrow.

I am very impressed with the resilience of these plants.
If i can get the pics to load, u can see new growth, but these pics are of a couple weeks ago, they look alot better.

Thank you all.
