my grow is currently recovering from a BAD gnat infestation. its in the third week of budding. I treated it with neem oil and sand yesterday. I am worried that it might affect my yield in the end if the roots don't recover. I have seen root growth enhancer but have never used it. has anyone used this before with any success? or does anyone have any home remedies to promote root growth? any comments are appreciated.

Use cedar chips as a top dressing or add 2.5ml of cedar oil to 1 quart of water with a drop or two of ivory liquid dish soap.

Although they may have not bin cedar chips, I have used this method once, and will never again. This caused an even worse infestation of gnats and added mold to the situation, it may have bin my chips but who knows..

But considering he didnt ask for a gnat solution i feel this is irrelevant since he is already using neems and sand which in my opinion is a much more sterile and healthy solution that has worked well with me countless times.:lol:

as for your roots
I have never had to REPAIR my roots after gnats, generally they are just happy the gnat larvae are gone, but i like natural solutions to root health, First of all the best stress reducer and root helper is seaweed so any seweed ammendment to ur water is good, I use MaxiCrop, its cheap and good. Second I make sure the benifical bacteria and soil life is florishing and happy, this involves adding the little warriors with any product like Sub Culure, Mayan madness, Or Tranchala and pirana from advanced (waist of money), The second part to this is feeding them, this is done by adding black strap molasses, and they will convert this into calcium and other natural micro nuitrient.:bigjoint:

Cedar chips and cedar oil is a preventative and treatment. Neem kills beneficial fungi and bacteria(cedar prevents powdery mildew so you must have used another type of chip)cedar products will not harm roots or beneficials. Molasses(organic Calcium/magnesium/iron plus micro nutes and simple and complex sugars does feed beneficials but also feeds gnat larva. Use myo beneficial fungi along with humic acid and that will boost your root health and growth without feeding the Gnat larva. :bigjoint::bigjoint:
