Gnats

I have some type of gnats that came out of my soil. Right now theres not many but they seem to be increasing whats the best way to get rid of them?

SnapsProvolone · Mar 18, 2014

Are they fungus gnats or winged root aphids?

SnapsProvolone · Mar 18, 2014

Fungus gnats are easy, use gnatrol or mosquito dunks.

Aphids are a much, much bigger problem, especially if they're flying.

I think gnats after reading the article my things fly around aimlessly and I smashed one already with my hand they are mosquito looking and don't fly fast or towards the light more just aimlessly and kinda slow. The fan is too strong for them to fly into.

If they're fungus gnats go with the Gnatrol or Mosquito dunks and that will shut them down. Repeat drench cycle multiple times.

There are not many at all maybe 1-2 in grow area at a time and thank you snaps

If the population spikes you'll be picking dead gnats out of buds for days.

They are mainly in the veg room right now will h2o2 or hydrozyme work I have both of those.

Mosquito dunks are cheap. Crush them into water, let soak a bit and drench medium. Use again in 5 days and again 5 days after that.

If you let them, they'll become a big problem.

Right snaps gonna get on it thanks first gotta let pots dry out one question tho ....I have a waterfarm in this room do you think they are in they hydroton? I didn't see any on them but can they be down in it?

Yodaweed · Mar 18, 2014

I have 2 soil plants and one water farm in the room if u need pics I can go snap some.

SnapsProvolone · Mar 18, 2014

They're gonna be in your waterfarm too most likely. Treat it also. Just drop a chunk o dunk in it's lower bucket with nute change.

this shit is ok for my plants and not gonna like make the buds poison?

SnapsProvolone · Mar 18, 2014

It's very safe. It's a bacterial based treatment and thus is organic.

What about using H2O2? I aleady have a good bottle and read somewhere it could help I don't have gnatrol unfortunately

SnapsProvolone · Mar 18, 2014

It won't help. Using it with dunks will reduce effectiveness.

Yodaweed · Mar 18, 2014

Alright guess I gotta find a place to get some dunks thanks.
