Bing-go.
We changed out all the soil and washed the roots.
Then added yellow stickers and sprayed and watered with neem oil.
The yellow stickers are a very satisfying massacre. We still have some of the gnats, but much less. We still water with neem on a regular basis.
Plants seem much happier, they're really growing like the proverbial cabbage.

I don’t know if this got a response but i am pretty sure these are springtails.
Anyone got any ideas on how best to deal - drying out plants to within an inch of their life didn’t help, looking for a more permanent solution.
Basically infected all plants so I think must have been the soil?
Would just reporting everything into new soil and cleaning the roots off as much soil as possible be a last solution?
Also trying to rid gnats with mosquito bits, gnats are frustrating each plant has maybe 1 gnat appearing a day - hoping the tape and bits will kill them off.
Photo is off some springtails but found it impossible to focus on them even with a big lens
edit - no issue with the springtails for causing any damage or stopping growth just a lot of them crawling around
