What type of bug?
What did he look like?
What growth stage are you at?
Stopping them before they get to start breeding alot is the way to go.
Unless you are close to harvest.
Give more info and we can help more.
Pics are always a help also.
Hope this helps.

Sound like a fungus gnat. Check the soil for really tiny white babys.
Since you are in veg i would treat them any ways.
Neem oil, serenade are my favorites.

Not just any pesticide will do.
If you already have babys in the soil then i would.
Get neem oil mix it per directions to fill a 5 gallon bucket.
The take the 5 gallon bucket lid and cut a path towards the middle big enough for your stems.
With the neem oil make sure and mix it with almost hot water first then into the cooler water so it breaks up and some wetting agent like dish soap.
Put the bucket lid over the top of the pots and completly dunk the whole plant in the mix do each plant.
Then water with the neem mix to kill the babys.
Repeat 4 times in 3 day intervels.
Rotating from neem to serenade back to neem will make sure the bugs dont survive.
