Fungas Gnats! Pesky things. If you let the soil dry thoroughly it should help kill the maggots which live in the soil and nibble on the roots. Sticky yellow traps (the cards) work great too for trying to keep the population down. The ultimate is Gnatrol. It is basically a bacteria which is mixed in with the water to kill the maggots.

Yep sure is worse things your bud could catch. Btw I've found hormone rooting powder is quite a safe killer of bugs that live in soil when mixed with water.
