Sound like Fungus Gnats Doja. Here is a pic of a Fungus Gnat. Do they look like this?

Yes it could happen that quick. Believe it or not alot of times they are already in the soil but just haven't hatched or transformed yet.

Could also be thrips.... These boogers love to stick around in the soil, medium... they look like little whitish/yellow worms that turn into a small grey/black (very small) little flying scurrying creature.... they are a pain but you CAN grow through them.... they will scratch up the surface of foliage and make some parts of leaves look almost transparent.... if you see any of that then you have thrips

thrips r a joke... buy a bottle of safers end-all at walmart for $5.74 (they r on sale this week) and after 3 applications 3 days apart... there will be none left...

It is a contact spray btw.
