Well if you have gnats you need to bathe your plants in dryness...let them get totally dried out...you get gnats from overwatering...if you stop and let things dry then they will move on elsewhere...you can also let everything dry and add a later of sand on top of the pot...that way even soon after you water the top pf the pot is dry...sand holds no moisture, and gnats need moisture to lay their eggs...so the sand confuses them...and they will go hang out near a leaky faucet, or wet towel in your house...

any hydro store will carry Einstein Oil or Dyna Grow Neem Oil. get the Einstein if you can. follow the directions on the bottle. foliar spray the leaves on top and from underneath. spray once every 2 weeks through the first 2 weeks of flower. don't spray after the 2nd week of flower as it leaves a residue that can affect the taste of your buds.

How far are you into flowering? I ask because Neem Oil truly sucks, I don't know why the fuck people recommend it so much. It is amongst a handful of products you can use in flowering I guess . but I know of two products that work 100% if you are further than 45 days from harvest. In fact man if you start using either of them on all your veggers, all your clones, and even in your flowering room every ten days up until the first ten days of 12/12 I can almost guarantee you'll never see another bug in your grows. Avid, and Floramite. Any good store has it on hand. Don't let the price tag freak you out, just call around until you find a store that sells it by the mg. Most grow stores keep a bottle behind the counter because the 4 oz. bottle is so expensive. Anyway man the stuff is a 100% solution, seriously.

I have been using mighty wash and I recently started using some raid insect soap for flowering plants. The mighty wash worked for a little bit but they came back. I took one of them outside and tested the raid soap on it im still waiting to see if they come back. I was told recently that praying mantis are better than lady bugs when it comes to spider mites i don't know if theres any truth in that but im interested enough to start researching.
