Nice, looking good home skillet. Plants look awesome for your first coco grow, there can be a learning curve with it for some of us. What nutes are you feeding?

Might be the only way tbh. Bti not work, h202 or clorox. Athena ipm I have a jug but Im too busy figuring out how to ban the gnats period for a whole grow cycle.

I use preventatives like traps and lures and yellow sticky traps for monitoring. I have a catcher with a Led on the top and a fan blowing onto a sticky pad. One located inside and one outside of the tent.

They are easily attracted to UV light and are retarded flyers, very bad at flying.

Cheers!

Fungus gnat experiment #569

Fungus gnat experiment # 569 25 feet of noseeum screen with 20 x 20 mesh. A few bags of fat rubberbands. $30 for both. After failing 568 times with poisons and potions, pots and bags, prayers and insults, I have decided to try and block their entryways. They love my 2 gallon pots with the 5...

A thread that has acknowledgement that seems like nothing works but what weve been doing with bags and panty hose or mesh bag. People will say certain things work while there a threads people will say damn theres nothing that works.

For some people like me it was ruining entire harvests with root rot which is probably pythium. So I shouldnt consume it if it does that, sudden cola death especially. Tryng make a habbit of only harvesting good plants nice clean.

Microbe lift bmc fully took care of my fungus gnat problem in soil… u have to disrupt the lifecycle, the microbe lift bmc will kill the larvae. The adult flyers u can zap em with a bug zapper or use yellow sticky tape

With coco bricks, i rehydrate in BTI (mosquito dunk crushed up) for a day. Drain and then buffer. I do add BTI to 4 liter water container and let it sit if i need it. No gnats. DE and sand on surface helped but BTI was best before grow starts.
