get mosquito killer crumbles for those fungus gnats. sprinkle a tablespoon and a half around the top of those small pots. the bigger the pot the more you sprinkle. takes care of them in about two or three weeks. cheapish.

ya your a noob. i can't wait till your plants get bugs and your out here asking for help and some jack hole comes in and posts loser pictures. thats really lame bro, and i don't mean the lack of insight into the problem, just your shit production. 3 weeks? that should be like 15 days in soiless. you missed the mark some how, id say maybe a half gram a watt if you don't mess it up lol.


google mosquito bits and see if you get it. its a clear jug and it has red and yellow stickers.

if you can't find the same product there see what the active ingredient is that kills the gnat larva and find that.it smells like bacon or some smoked fish or something. but it works.

LOL shut up CLOWN. Keyboard warrior.

When I used soil,twenty years ago I always heat treated my soil to kill any parasites before I planted. I clean my growroom with liquid raid before the plants go in and once a year thereafter. If you have outside air coming in be sure it goes through some sort of filter to screen out bugs.$40can will get you enough hydroton/lava rock grow pellets to do a 2'x2'x6" F&D table and will leave enough for a mom.

ya when i get them i apply the crumbles, about two and a half tablespoons onto a 7 gallon smart pot and then wait. they slow down over the next two weeks and with some sticky traps you should get a good handle on them. then i re apply every time i transplant and make sure to bleach the rooms before new plants go in. sitting water can also keep the life cycle going so make sure that your room is swept, and clear of any standing water or your fighting an uphill battle. the crumbles can even go into your rez but your going to need to clean it more often, like every weekish, also they clog water pump screens so use caution there.


and hey small buds, use some rizotonic by canna and you'll have faster flowers. keyboard warrior, ya thats me noob.

eh..been using canna nutes throughout..outta my mums? I'm 43 three kids..your yeald estimate would do me fine..na down to 5ml per 10 litre riz..my root system is good. Your helpful little guy arnt you?

i can't understand what your saying. are you trying to tell me you have 43 plants or mothers? who cares? you have no info to add here so beat it noob. big boys are trying to make real growing. and if your gonna get a half gram a watt thats NOT good just so you know. all us big boys get over a gpw or its not even worth firing up the veg lights.
