Hey dude! Other than a few setbacks, life's been awesome. How are things with you? Hope all is good
I've been doing decent. Had problems with my girls the last few runs, but i think I've got it figured out. The next few weeks I'll know. Did some nice upgrades in the process though. What kinda setbacks you hit, besides the one from the last couple of pages.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between an adult fungus gnat and a fruit fly?.

Every summer I have a war on these little bitches, and I see a few flying around. I'm about to water with peroxide just in case, every year I get them due to moving plants indoors to out and back in. I've tried a topdressing of perlite, but the little bastards simply go through numerous drain holes.

TY

Peace

Try using yellow sticky paper and see if that helps If it's fruit flys
I got a close-up view, they're gnats...it's only a matter of time before the eggs hatch into larvae.

So I just soil drenched w/a 4 to 1 ratio of water to 3% peroxide...that should keep them in check.

"Once the top layer of soil is dry, mix one part hydrogen peroxide with four parts water. Using this solution, water your plants as you normally would. The fungus gnat larvae will die on contact with the hydrogen peroxide, but the solution will not hurt your plants so long as it is mixed correctly. It would take an awful lot of hydrogen peroxide to harm the plants. When the hydrogen peroxide is watered in it will fizz a bit, but in a very short time it will naturally break down into nothing more than oxygen and water molecules which the plant will love."

I did some homework as well.

I have found the best way to get ri of the larvae, and prevent more adults from laying eggs, is to topdress with a layer of sand.
This seems a better option than perlite, one more thing to p/u from the garden center tomorrow.

Sand, peroxide, and a vacuum cleaner seem to be good prevention tools.
