Bugs An Issue?

Hello guys. I am doing my second grow ever. I am not really concerned about the setup, I am just wondering what to do about these bugs. They are like small little flies that walk around in the soil. When I water my plant they all fly away. I do not see any spots or signs of them eating at the plant, but I think they are definitely breeding in the soil since their numbers are increasing fast. Please let me know if I should be concerned. They seem to be most abundant when the soil is dry. I water the soil a few times a day since it dries out quick.

You water them twice a day? That is way too much. I water like twice a week, only when dry almost all the way through. Those sound like fungus gnats.
