Using products that contain Bti every 10 days for 4 times and using Pyrethrin bombs to kill the flies will eliminate fungus gnats. They have a 10 day life cycle and take about 4 applications to kill the whole colony.

So far, the neem oil is working better than anything else.
Will need to wait a few weeks to buy beneficial nematodes and more natural solutions as cash is low

Should be fine until week 2-3.

I stop all foliars once the budset starts in earnest. The nematodes kill the larvae, get them in asap to break the cycle.

I never have problems with bugs outside. Indoors is more of a challenge I find but that's mostly because I've had to jerry rig a setup.

Dunking plants in water regularly will take care of mites on its own. You can also just spray with water if you're super regular and diligent but that's a pain in the ass.

Needed something quick & dirty so grabbed some hot chili pepper (ground) (1/4 tspn), garlic powder (1/8 tspn), threw them into a 2L juice bottle, added a couple of drops of dish soap, couple of drops of oil.

Really excellent to know that works on cannabis. My wife has made a similar concoction also containing cayenne pepper. She used it in the garden on plants for aphids and on vegetable plants for some other bugs. Worked very well, but the one caveat is that we never smoked anything we put it on.
LOL, and if you think that garlic smells using powder, try roasting it and making your own powder. You will have to open a window, or even go outside while it is roasting. :spew:

I procrastinated with this because there's still diamotecious earth on the soil and I figured it would kill them.
Will order them tonight

Yeah I've never smelled or tasted anything in the finished product but typically I don'tworry about spraying the last few weeks as most bugs are gone as it gets cold. Home grown garlic would probably be better, I'm just lazy ;)

If you use bugs that kill mites generally most things that kill mites will kill them as well so you have to have clean plants if you want them to work. Generally they won't eliminate the problem but they keep them under control from what I've seen in a friends garden. I haven't used them myself.

I always see people say to dunk the plants in water. How the heck do you dunk big DWC plants at 3+ foot?

Someone make a video, lol!!!

As I mentioned earlier in this thread...all you need is 35% h2o2 to kill all bugs. 30-60+ mls/lt. kills (burns) bugs and eggs, and can be used well into flower. Spray 2x/week for a couple of weeks to make sure you get any strays. Plants luv it, and it kills PM too. It can also be used as soil drench for soilborn pests (not reccy for organics as it will kill beneficials as well).
