Can someone please help me identify these pests? I have tried a combination of different things to try and get rid of them and not having much luck. Sorry not the best image, these things are tiny!

I'm in veg.... If i take cuts from everything and then treat them can I clone them or should I trash everything? Really Really don't wanna lose all my genetics!

U can spray the cuts with dormant oil to kill any eggs crawlers , use 1/2 strength
Did u build your soil or buy bagged ?

What do you recommend for dormant oil?

I have: Azamax, Neam, Yellow Sticky strips going now....

I heard Rosemary Oil works good?

It's called dormant oil , it's refined mineral oil organic
I don't azamax , orange oil mixture is a kill on contact use 5% orange oil, 25%is iso alky 70% water then squirt of Dawn dish soap shake well.

So is the orange oil, iso, water mix different than the dormant oil? I should get both orange oil and dormant oil correct? Thanks for your help by the way!

My guess is the soil too... I was using Sunshine Mix and didn't have any problems and then started noticing stuff flying around after switching to Roots Organic and thought they were fungas gnats but have not had much luck getting rid of them so started leaning more towards root aphids! ;/

Yes , use multi approach ,once knocked down get some beni bugs from a vendor
U might consider de-soiling the moms , wash roots start over in new soil
