New Grower Gnat problem!!!

[greggant2005]

Wassup guys, I'm starting to see some gnat or gnat type bugs flying around my plants. My plant are four weeks old. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to get rid of these pests?

Fly tape and cover your soil in sand. The sand will keep them from getting out of the soil and suffocate them and they fly tape will trap the ones already in the grow room.

Tru dat a4, :thumbs: the problem with that is if you have air pots, it than becomes like a highrise apartment building for the gnats with them flying in and out of every hole, a big pain in the arse when I had it... What I did was get the fly tape, I put some on stakes and put those in the soil for it was like sorta of a flag for them.i also was sure to hang the yellow stickies at plant level.... I had a month or so to go before harvest so i made the best of it. what I did for second run was pick up some mosquito dunks and crumbled like a 1/4 of a dunk for like every 3gals of soil. Stopped making sure I wasn't overwatering no more, kept all plant debris out of the bottoms of the pots and in the tent/growroom.... With the mosquito dunks I've never seen them again..l my new problem is white powdery mildew. I just got two products to help combat or azamax and sm-90 which both from what I read fed during the veg stage 2-3 Time on 2week intervals people claim you will never see fungus gnats again.... Sending a big :karma Cloud: your way that you eradicate those pesty pest...

If too much, pimp your airpots!

I did once put ladies stockings on all of them, they all went fo rthe fly trap up

Mosquitoes dunk are quiet good too,

Peace!

I agree with everyone especially Yoda,

Just as a normal practice, you should use the Mosquito Dunks, Everytime you water. Just to be on the safe side, gnats or no gnats.

Speaking of which:

GoGnats - it is a natural product, liquid form

Gnatrol - It is a natural product in powder form

both are systemic

The Dunks cost less, and since I have used all three, I think the dunks work the best.

just sayin'

bye for now

Peace

Spray with Azamax, then wash your buds in Distilled or Reverse Osmosis purified water before you hang them to dry to remove any residue from the spray.

I have a question about the Mosquito dunks,

Do you let them dissolve in the water your about to pour into the plant?
