This is my second real grow.Last one i noticed these (what i thought were fruit flies) flying around the tent.Just 4 or 5.whatever i thought.This grow i ran out of one pot of soil, so i used one from the previous. Dam...I this week noticed those little(excuse me)those little fucker's and their larva in the top layer of my soil..I thought i hate flipping bugs bad...phobia bad!I thought im going to try something I know will work because it killed lice in my girl..she caught from kindergarden...ewww...so i went and purchased 100% Tea tree oil..mellaluca afernoil.My girls are clean...very clean...so is my tent!! I am ocd about the cleanliness!!REALLY. I look in it all night during lights o n.every friggin hour, for mold bugs leaves that have fallen, dirt that flew around.I still see these litte f'rs.
I think i will try this because i would rather start over than have any bugs in my bud...If this kills the plants ... start over..I added 15 drops of pure tea tree oil,
to a spray bottle of distilled water. And sprayed the top layers of all the 9plants soil with it.not too much the first time, as i really didnt want to choke the ladies.did that , next night seem less, did it again more this time.Almost gone.Tonight isee they r a few more that were born on top of the soil, but they can not fly.They look slow , squirmy, and dum..HEHE i poisoned them...Plus the plants are totally unaffected...FOR REAL..notta droopy leaf not any sign of stress what so ever...So i got out the tea tree and sprayed down those buggers that were born and they croaked instantly.. since first spraying they were not flying at all just hovering on top.so i think it stuns them right away then poisens the ones starting to be born in the soil.
Tea tree oil is an a natural plant derived pesticide.used for all kinds of ailments,pests,diseases.all kinds of uses.I am growing..big bud x northern lights, vannilla kush, violator kush, pineapple chunk,(who seems to b the most sensitive of the bunch)but is unaffected. I have cherry berry, purple diesle, afghan kush x skunk, b-13 medical, and wonder skunk, all fems.
so if you have what you think r fruit flies..(GNATS). and plants that are tolerant or like my strains then tea tree oil worked for me and did not kill the ladies.it is a tree oil.
HAPPY GROWING.....JUST MY THOUGHTS ON GNATS> AND HOW TO KILL THOSE BUGGERS!!
