The hydrogen peroxide 1 - 3 ratio to water in a spray bottle works. I spray the plants and the dirt. I bought 2 16 ounce bottles for 2 bucks. Then I mix it in the spray bottle and go on a mission (operation clean sweep) after the fungus gnats.
Hey y'all
Yup hydrogen peroxide works well on them to blow them off without promoting fungus and the plant really likes hydrogen peroxide the extra O2 is great. But it don't kill them. You can spray a plant very often. I use it all the time. I buy the one gallon jugs of the 32% hydrogen peroxide and dilute it down to use. I've
Thanks
@Jimmythenugg. I was checking out the trichomes and saw some fungus gnat larvae in the buds crap . I mixed up some hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle and hosed them down. It killed them.
@Sour D You better be prepared with a spray bottle for the scourge.
I was hitting em with neem oil, then Trifecta. Someone mentioned the peroxide but of course near impossible to find in these days of the corona. Then I heard about nematodes to actually eat the larvae before they become gnats. Seems to be under control now. Unfortunately I had to ditch 2 girls that weren't at the top of their game to begin with. Prayers for the 3 big girls in flower that seem like they may have stalled. Time will tell
sprayed it on the plants, outside and inside.
I use it as a bud wash "mainly" to wash my harvest with.
You've got to be careful though using it on the ground because too much of it in your soil can kill the beneficial microbes. You really want the microbes to live.
Be careful about how much you use in your soil how strong and how often.
But on the plant to me it's almost unlimited unless you're spraying a fungal tea.
If you're spraying a fungal T? Then hydrogen peroxide should be used in between those application's, because it'll kill the beneficial microbes as well.
A fungal tea like Boogie Brew would almost be useless..well..but it wouldn't be very effective as a fungal tea that it is though.
I've been using hydrogen peroxide for about 5 years I wouldn't want to harvest a crop without it anymore. It cleans all the dust bugs and external sprays that you might have used over the growing time. Leaving flavorful clean powerful bud.
The Green lacewing destroys a lot of nasty pest ie. Aphids, spider-mites and other. It's nick name is the Aphid Destroyer When it's a larvae. It can kill up to 600 Aphids..adults and eggs over its lifetime as a larvae before it turns into a Green lacewing fly. And unlike ladybugs it's likes to stick around and not so appt to fly away and will nest and lay eggs for your next wave of pests. They're a better defender than the ladybugs. And they eat the pest eggs too ladybugs don't.
So yeah I've been there and done that many many times more than I can count when it comes to bugs and fungus.
Give me a shout if you need Q&A
I have a whole bag a tricks to help a fellow grower out.
