Problem:bugs in soil
Medium/grow method:soil 7 gallon fabric with liner
Feed: and supplements used:build a soil craft blend, big 6, aloe, rootwise, BAS build a flower, rootwise catalyst, kashi
water source: de chlorinated tap water
Strain/age:galaxy brain x3 by night owl 55 days, froot by the foot x1 by atlas 55 days
light used: HLG 300L Rspec 270w 120 Volt x1. SONOFARM SF4000 LED x1
Climate:79f day 45-50% humidity, 65-68 night 45-50% humidity
Additional info: I've had some issues from the get go with fungus gnats on this go round, they hadn't been that bad, the adults mostly contained with yellow sticky traps, I noticed they were getting a little more prolific so I sprayed a little capt jacks dead bug brew on the soil after a watering. I left for a while and came back to my yellow sticky traps covered in what I think are thrips, I have not seen any thrips on my plants themselves, but after spraying capt jacks they are prolific on the soil surface and about an inch down. My only experience with thrips has been outdoors where they get all over the plants, in this case I'm only seeing them in the soil, on the traps and on the outside of the pots. I put some diatomaceous earth on the soil of one plant to see if it helps, any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. I've read about some folks mixing DE in with their soil at the start, maybe I'll try that on the next round. This is probably my 8th-10th round of autos, but its my first run using all build a soil products and my first run using less water per watering but watering more often to keep the feeder roots happy in the top dress. In terms of over watering my plants have never showed any signs of it, but the pest issue potentially says otherwise. Thanks for reading.
