How is your ventilation system done?

What fans do you have inside?
You can’t simply operate tent like this without active exhausting fan.

So called “UFO” type vents…
If you plan only 300 watts of CFL you can easily do with most basic one (RC 100 for 100mm diameter)…
But in general 125mm diameter is recommended, because you will probably add CO2 filter to get rid of smell and it will create resistance to the ventilator.

@LemonadeJoe is right on the fan, you need to extract it and will likely need a carbon scrubber once you flower.

You need to describe them more than just “little flies”. You can start with buying glued cards and make photo for us…

Probably fungus gnats. They seem to come in most bags of soil. Water a little less and sprinkle a little diatomacious earth on the top of your pots. That should take care of them.

Hang in there @Smokinsammy! Read a grow book or pdf of a grow book for some pointers, and expect a few grows to be learning experiences. Nobody was born knowing all about growing so relax and enjoy the learning experience. Once you get a few grows down it will be easier. You need an exhaust fan and oscillating fan. Your temperture probe should be at canopy height and assume any bag of soil you buy has fungus gnats and learn how to deal with them. If your exhaust fan can be turned up and down that will help you a lot. Keep everything clean including you before messing with your plants to keep powdery mildew and insects away. If you always grow from seed you will also stop a lot of problems from starting by not bringing in contaminated clones. Good luck and feel free to ask my anything anytime you have an issue.

Thanks mate that would be great I have ordered a carbon filter and exhaust system and another fan my temp probe atm is at soil level as my plants r just seedlings and have only just started to emerge from the seed case once they develop bigger leafs I will move it my temp is at 26.7 and rh is 60% is that about right I have read a book on indoor growing and read stuff on Internet and tbh there is a lot of conflicted information
