At first i wasn't too stressed with a few, but they quickly multiplied and just unzipping the tent would stir up hundreds. I watched several video's of people with fungus gnat problems, and i had more then all of them put together so just wanted to get on top of it.

Your grow is looking frigging awesome mate. Your lights are interesting, never seen them before. Do you have about an 8" exhaust fan pushing or pulling air through the ballasts? Does the air get drawn from the grow space then through the lights, or do they have their own external intake and exhaust?

Ahhhk fair enough yeah would try cut em down to a reasonable number ay.

Cheers dude! If got new hoods which I'm gonna put in after this grow same thing just a bit better, not 8" but 6" and yeah got a fan sucking through the lights and into the roof where it gets pushed through the carbon filter, it's not really 100% ideal because you're not meant to run hot air throughthe fan and also pushing air through carbon filter means I can't put a filter on the carbon filter so it clogs up eventually but it lasts long enough that it's not really an issue and I've yet to have a fan break down

What is the closest you can get your plants to the cool tube before burning em?

The light bleaches them before they burn from the heat, can get em about 25-30cm before bleaching starts id say

But some of my best yields have been when the light hasn't been as close as it can get so I just make sure they aren't getting bleaches these days
