    Carokahn, i think you have to treat for 7 to 14 days, everyday for the neem oil to work, or at least thats what the directions state. What does the perlite do excactly? I heard it prevents the adults from digging into the soil and also puncture thems and kills them. Does the perlite act as...

    Here's my plan: I will dig up two inches of soil, lay a layer of Diatomaceous Earth on the new top soil. Then cover soil w/ two inches of perilte. Then treat top layer of Perlite w/ Neem oil. Also, I will leave the bug strip hanging and refresh when needed. Hoping this will solve my problem...

    I just got back from my local hardware store, where I picked up Neem concentrate and some bug strips. I was looking in the soil section for sterile sand but they didnt have any. So I thought maybe I could use Perlite as a replacement. I went to pick up the bag and it had a fucking fungus gnat on...

    Here's my plan: I will dig up two inches of soil, lay a layer of DE on the new top soil. Then cover soil w/ two inches of perilte. Then treat top layer of Perlite w/ Neem oil. Also, I will leave the bug strip hanging and refresh when needed. Should that solve my problem?

    They look like gnats to me and I'm pretty sure that's what they are. How do I get rid of them for good? I've read some posts and there seems to be a debate about the best/effective measures. Any first hand experiences would be appriciated. thanks

    Ok think I've got fungus nats in my soil. I was watering my plants today, and because I'm such a newp, I was watching the soil very carefuly, seeing how the water permiates the soil, attempting to gauge how much my plants need for each watering. I see a "gnat" like bug crawling on the surface...

    I think I have a little heat stress. The spots are tiny. I took some pretty good close ups and you can not see them in pictures but can see them with the naked eye. I raised the lights a bit, moved out faux wall for more vent, and move the fan closer so its blowing over the tops of the...

    I just noticed that have three small brown spots on the leaves. Two at the tips of two fan leaves and the other is on the middle part of the leaf on the edge as well. Might try to raise the lights an inch or two and see what happens

    I notice that too. The leaves are real perky (praying to the light). Is that a good thing? Does that indicate I may not have enough light on them?
