Might be Root Aphids not to sure, very small. I read on here you can submerge roots in soapy water for 10-20 min to suffocate them the aphids.
Did that and will update with results in a couple days. This is the 2nd time ive found them.

Plant is in almost a month of flower, only seem fan leaves get yellow and fall off, other than that everything been good.

I have had those, in my case they were gnats. Definitely not root aphids.

I say "were" because I got Hot Shot No Pest Strips.

Gone within a week.

Hmm did they kind of jump around the water ? Did it affect the plant

Some were on the top of the water, some on the sides of the res. Mostly walking around the roots tho. They didn't seem to affect it too much but it is much nicer just not having them around.

Springtails? I don't know if they live in hydro or not, but its another possibility you can look into

Garlic works in soil ,just pusdt as clove into the soil they soon leave or die, not sure about dwc,if there not too big I would be tempted to rince the roots with shower,but I have good water, and clean the bucket.
