How far along are your plantsI started autos I have a fungus problem and spider mite problem I was thinking of just getting rid of all the plants and starting all over is there anyway I can save my grow space
Those fungus gnats were in the soil your probably using fox farms there’s an added pest bonus in every bag. Fox farms even has overwintered spider mite eggs in it but it’s much less common, than there normal thrip and fungus gnat eggs and larvae.Were you watering your plants too often? Before I wised up, saturated medium caused my early grows to become infested with gnats and mites.
I was suffocating the roots and providing an all you can eat smorgasbord for the little bastards.
No it was actually already in the soil when I got itWere you watering your plants too often? Before I wised up, saturated medium caused my early grows to become infested with gnats and mites.

Yes you're absolutely right you can get unlucky and get the one bag that just so happens to have bugsAny brand of soil can potentially have some kind of pest with it. It's not just a Fox Farm thing.
Got one or 2 of those myself, fighting fungus gnats now no mites thank god, what the best way to get rid of those boogers, tries using gnatrol in waterings, no luck, got sticky pads to catch fliers but need something to kill larvae, any suggestions to nuke em?Yes you're absolutely right you can get unlucky and get the one bag that just so happens to have bugs
