Bug/tent questioN

[Gtjoker420]

thinking of moving my grow tent to my bedroom because there isn't another unit directly next to it. I am gonna be growing with organic dry fertilizers and am curious if i will have a issue with fungus gnats in my bedroom or if they will just stay in the tent?

So if you already have fungus gnats you need to get rid of them they will always get into you’re tent as long as there alive. But I doubt you will have problems with them if you don’t let water sit or to high of humidity for to long

Ya i don't have them at the moment but I know they are very common when growing organics

Even i I got them a while back and all I had to do was catch it early and used Apple cider vinegar trick. And to speed up the process I would sit down next to the plant for hours and just mess with top soil and watch for a gnat and kill it

I'll have to look up this apple cider vinegar trick. Do you think they would stay around the soil and plants and in the tent or would they end up flying around my bedroom?

They lay eggs in the first inches or so of the soil and that’s where they hang out down around you’re plant also if you have hard pots you can knock on the side of it repeatedly and they will start to walk around

Nope
using cloth pots

Put a mosquito dunk in your water before you water your plants, it will kill the gnats.

Mosquito dunks, gnatrol, microbe lift BMC all use a bacteria strain Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis, an effective biological pesticide used against fungus gnats, mosquitos. Due to it's mode of action it takes a little bit to become effective as it only works on the larvae, therefore the adult fliers will need to die off on their own.

I use gnatrol as a preventative in my own grows and it's very effective.

He's growing cannabis for consumption. And since Gnatrol is more for ornamentals has to sit on the surface for it's effect you're just feeding it to your plants. Quality beneficial bacteria specifically for high value crops will have fungus gnats controls but don't take my word for it and educate yourself.

Sorry Gnatrol is a beneficial bacteria. I assumed it was old-school toxic stuff that would mess up your brain on drugs.

I gotta research it more
