Update time, ..sorry, no photos this time around.
Lets take the bad first..
I have Fungus Gnats, first time any bugs / pest have crept into my grow.
First I thought it was Thrips, but the flying bastards I see now, plus the small larvae I see on the growing medium it can't be anything else. Could be a combination, but I like to stay positive!
Looks like grow shops in Barcelona took out vacation at the same darn time, running around like a mad man trying to get hold of Mosquito Dunks or bacillus thuringiensis israelensis type.
I have heard that this is something that can be used with AP, as it will not damage the fish.
Anybody know if garlic, chili cayenne pepper, neem extract will harm the fish ?
Did a foliar spray with this and the plant did not seem to care, was thinking I could make a new batch, stop the waterflow and just spray a good portion of it right down in the medium, let it work for an hour and start the water again, any thought ?
I read on a cannabis forum that Ca, Mn and also P deficiencies signs could very well just be the Gnat larvae, while they eat on the roots, they also feast in the nutrients that are in the medium. Pretty pointless adding stuff, and feed the gnats more.
Flipped to 12/12 yesterday as well. As we need to move out of this apartment in around 48 days, it is going to be close.
Temp and RH is fine when lights are off, but when they start the RH raises up to the high 60, even pushing 70+, I do have a portable aircon, turned it to dehumid, let see how it works out.
so yeah. Aquaponics is ON THE COME UP!
