I did a little test. I sprayed the soil of just 2 of my plants with mild soap solution, just to give it a try and see if it would have any negative effects on the leafs after the solution comes in contact with the roots and is absorbed. I'll check tomorrow and see what happened. What I would...

The neem oil will be delivered to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so what I would like to know is if until then I could spry some mild soap solution on the soil to try keeping the little bastards in check? And is about a teaspoon of soap for every 2 liters of water ok? If not, please...

Statik, firstly, thanks for all the precious advice. The problem with Azamax is that it isn't sold in my country and having it shipped from somewhere else would take at least a week (stone age, right?). So I ordered neem oil from somewhere near here and it should be mine in max. 2 days time...

My gnat problem isn't over and getting stuff in this shitty country is a pain in the ass. So I'll have to wait 3 more days for the neem oil I ordered. There is a product called Azamax, it's supposed to be 100% organic, containing only the active ingredient in neem oil, just super-concentrated...

I just wanted to post this pic of a potato on the soil. After just 1 day it's starting to get black around the edges and looks like it's degrading rapidly which kind of makes me think that it is attracting something because this doesn't look like the normal rate at which a potato normally degrades.

Yes, I am trying to keep my babies as clean as possible. I don't think I, or anyone for that matter, would enjoy smoking pesticides, right? :)

Moose, thanks once again for the priceless advice. What I would really like to know though and can't seem to find a clear answer anywhere is if I could spray the solution you mentioned on the soil, not on the leafs of the plants, as the gnats seem not to have any interest at all in anything...

OK, so far, what have been proven the most efficient things have been the pots of water and soap solution I put near the plants. the little critters just seem to fly in there. sadly, this does not completely take care of my problem. Because of that, I have also used other methods and will...

Moobyghost, dude, I'm going to take your advice about the tobacco tomorrow. I would've tried it today, but I didn't find any tobacco in my house so I'll go shopping tomorrow. :D Are you pretty confident that it might work? :) And should I sprinkle all around the top of the soil or just at the...

OK, so the first thing I noticed is that the pots of soap and water solution I left yesterday around the grow room really helped. A bunch of those little things are swimming with the fishes. :D Today I did the following things: 1. I put potato slices on top of the soil to attract the larvae...

Does anybody know if a homemade, mild soap spray insecticide is fine to spray on the soil? I remind you once more that I am about 3 weeks away from harvest! Also, I would like to find out if adding sand on top of the soil in order to suffocate the larvae could potentially have negative...

Patlpp, thanks for taking the time to share that with me. I owe you big time.

Thank you, Moose, for the advice. Actually, I was going to do the fly paper thing anyway. Could anybody tell me what (if anything) could be safely used against the larvae potentially in the soil? What about flushing the soil, does anybody think that could be a good idea or are most larvae...

Well... I can't see any change in the soil other than the fact they keep going under the top of the soil and resurfacing constantly.

If anybody could provide any information about this bug, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! The thing is that I am about 3 weeks away from harvest. These things don't seem interested in the leafs or buds or stems. They are mostly interested in the soil which kind of makes me afraid for the...

Hey guys and ladies! I want to thank you firstly for taking the time of day and viewing this thread. So, let's cut straight to the chase. My plants are about 3 weeks away from harvest and about 1 or 2 weeks ago I noticed some little fly-like bugs. They didn't seem to care much for the buds or...

Moobyghost, man, you said you wanted a close-up, right? Well... how do you like this one, then? :D

These are some pictures from a friends grow box. I just couldn't believe the size of the leafs. These plants are still very early in the flowering stages and they have a required flowering period of about 9 weeks. I think they look great!:D The stems are incredibly thick for their age.

Day 28 of flowering! Man, time is moving so slowlybongsmilie I think it's pretty visible for anyone that the buds have definitely picked up the pace and that they're starting to get to where they're going. :D

You're right, they do look stretched:) I think I kept the lamps a bit too far away from them for fear of burning the tops (last time I managed to ruin a top cola by keeping the lamp too close, so now I guess I'm just a bit paranoid about that). And I must say that the herb is not helping with my...
