Sorry to butt in, but if you want to get rid of gnats without poisons, try nematodes! They work best for me for anything that lives in the soil!

Thank you

I have 4 available sources of attack on Gnats.



I add Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth pre planting to the entire mix. (1/8 c/g And then as an as needed topdress deterrent(and as a mineral supplement) thereafter. Adding about 1/8-1/4 per 5 gallon pot, mixing a portion into the soil, and dusting over the rest. It is effective wet or dry, but least effective when wet.


Tip:
I like to ammend the soil with it, just before stretch..



Other methods I have on hand are Pot Poppers Nematodes, Mosquito Bits, and Neem Pellets. I'll try an not say it too loud.....



But the combination of methods have worked well as I've not seen a fly for 2-3 years....






Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you!

Nice work … like always, bro.

May I ask you for advice? … I‘ve read in one of your grows, that you are using Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. Beeing an organic grower as well (Sub-Irrigated Planter), I used to water with some Neem in case of having trouble with fungus gnats. I am not fully pleased with the results, so I will change the strategy and start to use Diatomaceous Earth instead, which seems to be a great source of silica, as well. I thought of mixing 1/8cup per 7gal of it into the top layer of the medium right at the beginning of the grow and repeat it every 2nd week. What do you think about it?

Happy growing!

De earth is a good amendment for silica and calcium I believe. It's also pH neutral at 7 . My first grow had some bugs show up and like most new growers I went overboard w the de earth mixed in till the soil almost looked grey. It ended growing some of my best buds to date . Now I always mix liberal amounts into my soil blend when I'm mixing up a batch .

The fastest way to kill of gnats one and done is a 1 inch layer of play sand on top of the soil. The larvae tear their wings off try to come out and die quick. After ur done w it just shop vac it off or leave it for protection
