    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    Grow store guy tried to sell me some stuff that was $59.99 a 24oz bottle. He said you have to use it every watering to just keep down the population. It's not any of the other stuff I've read about. Hell, it might work. But, low tech cheapo with real science to back it has them fkn gone! I...

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    I wonder sometimes if there aren't new types of fungus gnats that are predisposed to attack cannabis lol. My grow store guy swears that they're so bad this year because some commercial pesticide was banned last year causing an outbreak of gnats. Well,,, I dunno,, maybe, but I think he's too high...

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    I swear, the pantyhose has turned my game around. They were getting in top and bottom. Now the holes are sealed and the top covered tight. I untied one and nothing. No fliers or hatchling. Not sure if they're gone from the soil but the plants are happy. Now I'm wondering. Did the cannabis...

    The pantyhose worked dude! Haven't seen any gnats inside or out. The plants are taking off. You're right , I need a net. I ordered one today. The new cuttings are still healthy. A couple more weeks and I should be able to transplant to bigger pots. These plants are way too bushy since I had to...

    The autos are springing back from the gnats. I just need another month of peace and they'll be ready...I hope.

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    I was being a little facetious. I have fogged the room with hot shot but I've only sprayed 'over' the top of the soil when there were literally hundreds of them. It kills the shit out of the adult fliers. I was really missed at them when I posted that. Luckily, I seem to have them beat down...

    Geez! 2 months in coco? Wow. I'm going to have to BTi them several times too, it sounds like. Yes, I've had it out with a few people that claim the only reason for gnats to exist is overwatering. I've disproven that a few times. I left plants this summer till they wilted before watering and the...

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    Yeah, that was some anecdotal stuff I read somewhere. I didn't plan on trusting that anyways. I'm hoping to kill any hatchlings before they get to laying eggs. If I have to bottom water or spray the top with Hot Shot once a day. I really do believe the pantyhose is the best solution for me...

    Sorry if I'm reposting but this has made beating the gnats much simpler. Wife wasn't thrilled. These are brand new lol. I pointed out it's a worthy sacrifice for the grow. I learned the hard way to make sure to press down when watering or it runs off lol. I've thought of bottom watering till...

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    I have it sealed up tight. I figure after a BTi wash and care I hope to have em whooped. I've heard they won't lay eggs unless they can fly away. I don't know if that's true but I'm not scared to hit the soil area with a shot of pyrethrins. Just enough to down any fliers. Peroxide sprayed on top...

    Yep. I'm hoping to keep them going awhile. Stepson is signing the adoption papers for the foster parent to adopt so no more child support so hopefully no more cops showing up looking. These are good phenos for me. They train easy and they're so resilient. The smoke is great. Yeah, I may go ahead...

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    Well, some of yall beat me to it lol. I had the fkrs beat down, but, as some of yall know, They return.... I failed to sterilize 1 fkn clone. The others I bathed the roots and everything with a BTi wash. I ran out and figured, " Theyre dead so.... they weren't, so ? I have been joking about the...

    Fungus gnat experiment #569

    I've used BTi and it is not 100% effective. Maybe if somebody only has a couple of plants it would be fine, but I tried ALL the listed methods last run and just barely made it to harvest. BTi has to be reapplied every 5 days or so and I used a bunch of crushed Mosquito dunk( bti dunks) tea. It...

    The cuttings are still looking alright. I added a tad of Big Bloom to the water I use. The clones I took the cuttings from are popping pistils. It would be great if I could keep these rolling. It's a nice tough pheno, that bushes out great, can take some abuse and still flowered in 8 weeks. And...

    I want to have an autopot/Coco setup. I've seen alot of folks running coco on autopots that got great yields. I would like to learn DWC , but I'm lazy and sometimes prone to bad days and it just makes me nervous thinking how fast I could fk my plants up in bad DWC. I have been wanting to try...

    I've heard that enough times from too many breeders and growers in the industry to not believe it. I know that personally I've grown same strain same company in two 3 gallon pots. 1 was tall and skinny, other was short and fat. The tall pot yielded 6 zips. The other 3 something. I usually fill...

    Maybe they'll take off soon. It's a difficult thing to hit all the marks in hydro grown autos. I've seen guys really yield quite a lot of really killer looking stuff. I'm sure you're close to hitting yours. I usually seem to do pretty good for the first month. Then if I'm not careful, I'll see a...

    Are those autos or photos? If they're autos , then, they really shoulda gotten a bit bigger in 6 days. Autos are just so sensitive the first rew weeks. But, I don't know shit about hydro so I'd probably stunt mine. If those are photos then you're great if you figured out your issue. I guess...

    I took 4 cuttings last night. I did these same as last time. I cut them and dipped in Clonex and then into a fresh watered peat puck that was halfway up in a container of FFOF. Then I filled them up. Last time I didn't bury the puck completely except on 1. That one did way better so I did em all...
