Gnats...Gnats...Gnats

ok so this is like my forth thread and everything is doing good,but i just bought a new bag of MG because i was running low....and what do you think happened the bag had a few gnats in it so now they are crawling around on the top soil...anything I can do to get rid of them and do they harm plants any because if not I'll just let them die off

Fukin gnats!http://www.parkseed.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10101&langId=-1&mainPage=prod2working&ItemId=6399&cid=pport0001&CAWELAID=63704683

Mix 30ml of 3% peroxcide with one gallon of water, use this mix to water with until you dont have them anymore.

I'd like to know if they harm the plants as well.

1kooguy i was figuring the same some insect traps but DO THEY HARM PLANTS

From what I understand they feed on the roots so yes.

oh damn time to clear up the grow room

so 30ml of 3% peroxide to every gallon.....where can I get that

the best thing i have found to rid yourself of those nasty little buggers is sticky pads you can buy at home depot or lowes. just put it it under your plants and in about two to three days they will all be gone. keep a close eye out tho cause they may rehatch and infest once again. no they will not harm your plants. they are just nusiance pests

damn stores provide unreliable soil it works but the gnats just appeared my last bad didn't have any.....only seen 2-3 so far

From what I understand the adults don't harm your plants but the larva in the dirt will, you can get hydrogen peroxcide just about everywhere, any drug store, wal-mart, doller general, etc...

ohh and I dont think I would've risked the chems anyway i was going for the pads then saw the peroxide treatment....I think me being a first timer I will go with the pads

you said a 3% mixture so I was unclear on that part wheither or not it was a special kind

No most of what is sold is 3% but there is also 5,10, and 20 I believe, also peroxide is not a chemical its just water with an extra oxygen molecule, otherwise known as H2O2.

so technically a lil bit of peroxide water would help without even having a gnat prob considering roots need oxygen....and soil cuts some off

Yes it helps bring oxygen to the roots.

oh and llike I said I've only seen 2-3 and now I don't see any on the first inch of soil or so as I just moved a little to check and none were crawling around

also thnx for the help+not to be a smartass but, technically peroxide is a chemical just isn't too harmful to the plants everything is a chemical it's just a composition of many others

still might try the peroxide just for root air

Well if you use organic nutes using it too often can kill of the michorizae which wont be good, but if your using chemical ferts then go for it.
