I've been at it for a year now, growing and learning day by day. But theres something that never change no matter how hard I try, and that is keeping the gnats under control. So far I've been trying;
- Sand couple of inches on the top of the soil - seems my gnats know all about this and laugh in my face for trying -.-
- Glass traps w/various kinds of liquid
- Various sticky paper of diffrent sizes and shapes.
- Microwaving soil before use (lol)
At least now i can spot a gnat at 5 meters distance and charge like an angry bull. Although that don't help much either. I like to grow organic and are pondering on getting some predators a free haven in my indoor grow area. Although beeing from a cold cold country, im probably most likely to get some new small friends before the summer.
I grow organic, or try to atleast. I mix my various soils from a local provider. Hard to get it from anywhere else around here, wich is a bit of a pain, I suspect a good chunk of the gnats come with the soil types I mix.
- What kills and eats gnats and doesnt hurt my crop? Do ladybugs eat them? How many would a ladybug eat during a day?
- What other non fancy methods others than the mentioned further up can be used to herd the flock of gnats?
- Do gnat larva do anything else than eat precious roots?

(just to mock me , a gnat came and sat on my nose while writing this)
