Seed or clone BD?Blue Dream. Pretty soon here I'm going to start pulling air from OD through ducting in a wall. See if I can get them cold and get some colors to come out.
Ok i just went hunting to figure out what they were for sure. They are probably 80% chance fungal gnats, i smushed (ever so slightly) one of the 2 I could find and looked at it on my finger for a bit. It maybe looked a little more light brown than the fungal gnats i've seen on google image, which accounts for probably the 20% chance that they are not.Knats a much smaller than flies. If it is just flies get fly strips. If it is knat dry your plants out more and hit it with pyrithren. I know that is the wrong spelling but i have to go so no time to look it up.
Yeah this is only my 2nd grow, planning on reinvesting in more equipment in a few months, smart pots being one of the things I really want to use.Part of why I use smart pots. Fabric top to bottom, no drainage holes for bugs to sneak in through the bottom or anywhere, then top off with gnat nix so the medium is protected with a barrier all the way around.
Fair enough, the stuff is only $14/bag at my local hydro shop so I might as well give it a go if the problem persists, i'll definitely throw a vinegar trap or two in there thoughThat gnat mix is shit. I've used it and don't care for it. Blocks the big guys but the lil fuckers come right through and it's extremely lightweight and blows everywhere and sucks to water with it.
There are many other ways to get rid of them and I think they're more affective. But give it a try and maybe it will work for you. Didn't get the best reviews either.
Fox farms ocean Forrest is notorious for having gnats in it. 1 of the many reasons I stopped using it and starting building my own soil.Yeah this is only my 2nd grow, planning on reinvesting in more equipment in a few months, smart pots being one of the things I really want to use.

My soil is FFoF, pretty sure my grow area did not actually produce the gnats though, I saw them in other parts of the living space before my growing space
