gnats

I recently used a tea for my plants, Im in living soil and shortly after fungus gnat’s galore. Going to use some gnatrol to get them under control but and just wondering how much will they affect my grow? I’ve heard people say just ignore them and others say they are the devil. Anyone with...

Hi all, First timer here. I've been active on the forum for about a year learning before finally putting beans in the ground. Things seem to have gone from bad to really really bad over the course of a few days. I'll explain my setup and the. My issues. Thanks for bearing with me, any and all...

hello! the other day, for the first time I bought rice hulls and mixed them with vermiculite and light mix in a pot. the seedling is doing ok, but I have observed many gnats flying over the pot, "walking" on the substrate and so on. what should I do? should I transplant the young seedling to a...

I am currently dealing with a minor gnat infestation. I’ve heard to put perlite or washed play sand over the soil so the gnats can no longer breed which will kill them all. My kids have a bunch of marbles, I’m talking buckets, that have been past down through the family. I was wondering if I...

I just competed my transplant yesterday, seems like the new soil has introduced some pest. Seeing more gnats and small white things crawling... what’s good method to get this under control

This is my first post on this forum so I'm assuming this goes in this section, but sorry if it belongs somewhere else. I'll try to give as many helpful details as I can while leaving out the unnecessary stuff. This is the first time I've grown in 15 years and the first time I grew it was super...

hello, So hopefully someone can shed some light on what this little winged creature is. It appears to be a aphid with wings or a gnat of some sort. This is the 3rd one I have found on the plant in 2 days and I want to make sure i get this under control before I have a real problem. Plant...

Hi guys, This is the first time in my growing experience when I'm dealing with something I can't seem to wrap my head around what it is and it's making me crazy. I have 5 grows under my belt and other than some Mg deficiencies, Phosphorus def's and some nute burns, I haven't had any problems...

What are other S.I.P.S. enthusiasts doing for their integrated pest management? I'd like to hear organic and chemical methods. Just say organic or chemical at the beging of your post. Also specify what country you are in as different rules govern availability of certain products. Let's make...

I am placing potato slices on the soil surface to hopefully draw them in. I will leave them there for 4 hours. Then I will pick them up and throw them out. The theory is that the potatoes will attract the larvae then I can get rid of them. I placed them at 10:30am I will check at 2:30pm. I will...

Dyna Gro is the brand I have, I've been mixing and using this as a spray at the label ratio forever, but I've never watered my plants with it..? However my yellow stickies are coming up a little heavier than I like w/ fungus gnats, and I want to feed every plant neem oil is this ratio okay...

NIGHTMARE of a grow. Had guys over to service my hot water heater and the assholes left a window cracked open. They lowered my blinds and curtains so I didn't notice that the window they ran a hose out of was left cracked. Over the summer all types of shit got in and were secretly breeding in my...

Hello all. I'm a first time grower trying to teach myself. Been getting a lot of advice from these boards to thank you. 3 or 4 days ago I found these crawling around the pots of my plants. They are super small and only look like a white dot to the human eye but you can see them crawl pretty...

I use a lot of guano and worm castings on my outdoor plants & gnats were becoming an issue. Started using Microbe-Lift BMC five days ago, and this morning there were zero gnats. (woot!) Very economical too. This small bottle was $8 & it only takes four drops to treat five gallons.

I think this may be a winged root aphid- I thought for longest time I was just dealing with gnats but the last two runs have suffered greatly. I have been driving myself crazy trying to diagnose the problems I am experiencing but have yet to identify any actual aphids but was able to catch one...

Hello everyone got a question about gnats and dwc systems. Long story short my wife has a compost bin and uses organic dirt. Well we ended up having gnats from them either fungus or soil not to sure. I have a grow tent in another room with a 6 inch fan and scrubber. I placed a pail with water...

Anyone here grow ginger or garlic or mint plants IN the pots with your weed plants as a creature repellent? For now Im just putting garlic chunks on the top of the soil, but planting them seems a more permanent type solution. Is there no real reason that wont work, like it interfering with the...

Hey, I've been having troubles with fungus gnats and spider mites at the same time, this has been going on for months and I haven't managed to get rid of them. Until recently these suckes haven't caused a lot of harm but its getting out of hand here, some of the bigger leaves got brown spots all...

Hi all, I'm pretty sure these guys aren't too much of an issue (yet), but i just wanted to confirm what they are. So my tent is sealed up tighter than Fort Knox, my 6 lil puppies are barely a week into veg, and i open the tent to give a foliar feeding this morning, and as i sprayed i saw...

Howdy! My first thread here at RIU ends up coming in week 7 of flower, as I anxiously await my ever-so-slowly approaching first harvest. I had a hard time starting out, and read probably way too much advice, which had me overthinking things in a bad way. I killed a bunch of seedlings through...
