they seem to take a slow time reaching where they are now but another week that veg cupboard is going to be chocka, keep fighting the good fight lad. so far so good with the sand, haven't seen any for a day grow or living room. thrips are more a summer thing are they not?lol, they should be ok for a week i would have thought, they don't grow much under the old cfl's do they?
i tried sand once when i had springtails or root aphids, didn't do anything to stop the little bastards, don't know about gnats though. aminacloprid, it is spelled differently but pronounced like that kills anything in the coco but it recently got banned for killing honey bees lol, still got a bottle just in case. luckily my gardens pest free atm, will only be a matter of time before the thrips are back though, they just don't give up the cunts.
i read about them in a thread recently or you can dilute into a solution i think?!Right mosquito dunk worked really well for me. I just break them up and top dress with them
cheers i tend to prefer chemicals though tbhand organicide with help as well
well i've set some maple syrup traps and i'll just keep an eye out. i'm not scrapping the fuckers. i just can't.. and yeah i was kinda intrigued as to how i'm going to figure out when to water without being able to see the coco. guess i'll go old skool and pick em up dry and wet to gauge.Sand worked for me on one of my house plants, Don. And to be honest, I think you are probably better getting shot of them while they are in the smaller pots. The one thing I found about sand in big pots is that they weigh a freakin tonne when wet.....
It all looks good to me. I hope you've caught thembout time i updated this run eh!
