Soaked Mosquito Bits work great for fungus gnats. Soak em for a couple hours, and use that next watering. Also put the glue traps right on top of the soil if you can, just don't get any leaves stuck to them.

Nice start! Germination can be tricky.
If you have fungus gnats already the above advice from JP1 is solid. I like the Gnatrol BTI myself. It's a bit expensive but works really really well. Instead of having to break and soak mosquito bits the Gnatrol comes as a powder you can just mix into your water. It will take a couple weeks of treatment to get rid of them all.
The traps help eliminate the adults hopefully before they can lay more eggs.

*To be 100% effective 3 applications need to be made over 15 days.
Apply once every 5 days to break the life cycle.
Application:
1 teaspoon per gallon for an active light infestation.
2 teaspoons per gallon for a medium infestation.
3 teaspoons per gallon for a typical infestation.
Apply it to the top 2 inches of soil as a drench every 5 days until the adults are not flying around anymore. Usually 15-20 days or less to fully eradicate them.

Yup. Just a bit more of a pain to bust up but they'll work to. Twice a week. Should be gone in 2 weeks but a lot better in a couple days
The girls are at 20 days and Blueberry Breath and Double Berry Slushy 1 are growing into young ladies. DBS 2 is a lil behind, but growing strong. Still battling the fungus gnats, they are better, but still here. I've got sticky traps in plants and on the tent floor, I'm watering with mosquito dunk juice and applied a spinosad, pyrethrin, neem treatment
Any feedback on the yellowing happening on DBS 1 is appreciated.

Plants look great! I read somewhere here before that lower leaves turning yellow could mean not enough nitrogen so the newer growth is getting it from older growth or something along those lines. Wish I could help more

We are approaching day 30 and the stretch is on! The ladies have shot up over the last week and have some really nice branching and bud sites. The Blueberry Breath got some LST, but I feel like DBS 1 and 2 are too stressed. The yellowing was spreading on DBS 1, but is starting to slow on new growth. The DBS2 started to lean just before the stretch, guessing some root damage from fungus gnats.The fungus gnats are finally subsiding, but the girls got booted from the grow room, couldn't risk them spreading to our other plants. I'm still hardening them off now, they should be ready for full sun soon.
