I found 3 more.I think that is something else cause I noticed some tiny, white things who were flying when I mixed the soil. I consider to do a watering with neem oil and green soap. Will be ok?

Yes, do what you can to get rid of them..
@HydoDan and @ct26turbo what about a wireworm larvae?
I'm just trying to learn I'm not trying to challenge anyone.

wire worms look more like meal worms n are a little larger but you could be right

I grow outdoors in a pot. Those things are white, tiny things and they can fly for a very short distance. They don't look like the picture but maybe they are small yet, so who knows? They look to me like worms who can fly-if it makes sense! I wish to had the camera to film them so you could see exactly what I'm saying. I'm watching my plants every day and I didn't see any flies or eggs but I had some strange silver and black spots on the leaves.The problem is inside the soil though.I watered with neem and I hope for the best.In these pictures you can see the spots I'm talking about.

Not sure but gnats dont fly well, a fan can cut them down quickly, de works well as topdress. Yellow boards or sticky tape. Flytraps too.

I have 4 autos(2 Bcn Critical, 1 White Widow, 1 Blackberry Gum) and 1 photoperiod(Shiskaberry). I have white and silver spots on all plants(I try to treat with neem as well) but my white widow has those f...ing tiny things inside the soil. Now I'm afraid that all the plants have this infection even if I didn't see anything to them. My soil is designed to keep the humidity longer so maybe it is something relative to it. I water about every 7 days but the last days was raining all the time(I protected them from rain of course) and after turned into heat(38-39 degrees of Celsius) so maybe this situation created my problem. Thanks everyone for the replies!

Oh my God, I forgot to mention! I saw one worm like this also! Alright, I think I lost my plants forever
Haha, not likely that I'm right but thank you for entertaining the possibility
