Tiny little black flying fucks

View attachment 2514912View attachment 2514915Just went back and read some very fucked up ideas. If thinking of bombing? STOP! If thinking of neem oil? STOP~! Look at my post and do just what I outlined. They may come back, their larve is in the soil. Even Fox Farms ect. They dont have to fly in to manifest themselfs. It is a little extra "preventitve work" To keep the larve from hatching. Run your soil in an Ice cream bucket, (this is made up of plastic that can withstand temps without leaching polimers, it is cullanary plastic) anyway run it a gallon at a time in the mirowave this eradicates and pops the worms adding little nitrogen bursts to your soil. Gets rid of other living organizms in the soil as well so right after transplant, water with a UN-sulfered molassass solution. This replaces all and "recolonizes" your soil with those friendly little bacteria that help break down the oraganic food maters in your soil. Hope all this useless information helps in some way, "UNDERSTAND" the proper ways to treat for these . As well as why it works.
Also your extra Az-Max solution can be used as well to spray the emergers on the soil they die. What you are spraying is the green algea on the media. Delta cubes ect this renders it in-edible to the fly without food thier cycle is broken no food no reproduction. The Az Max is not a insectacide, It is not a herbacide. It won't kill anything. It just makes bugs liike thrips spidermites. fungus nats and thier larve starve to death and not reproduce. Compleatly Organic can be used as foliar or drench during flower or fruiting of any plant. Not toxic to humans to smoke or eat. or handle good shit man kinda pricey but awsome I treated for fungus nat four weeks ago retreated 5 days later. As you can see this treatment does not harm your plants, and havent seen a single fly. View attachment 2514914



Is it really fair to say that the ideas are " Really fucked up"? Also, I am no expert at growing. I read a book "Teaming with Microbes - A Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web (organic) and I don't recall them saying that Un-Sulfered Molassas contained Bacteria, But thanks for that info I thought all it did was feed them...

I laid a bunch of sticky traps for the flys, didn't catch one. I'm starting to think I just spotted a rogue fly.

give it a week and see how many show up, always good to do preventative maintenance like a neem oil spray, cheap and effective.

Na I probably wouldn't go to overboard with all the eradication stuff, just start out with the sticky pads, These are a good thing to have placed into the grow anyway, I put one or two around just to monitor what is crawling around in your soil, by doing this it is PREVENTATIVE, you are able to catch these manifestation by inspectiong your sticky traps on a regular basis and treat early before infestations get out of hand,see? YOU may not notice a couple of bugs in the soil at first then overnight they become thousands.Those couple you catch could mean not become infested from them. ONly takes two. I don't use neem ever because it stresses the plant too much they, If not a very hardy strain will look like they went through a hollicost. Az- Max is the Shit it does no Ill effect or damage even as a foliar spray under mh light. No wilt.

Let your soil dry out.... water with 3% hydrogen peroxide kills the larva in the soil/growing medium....yellow sticky tape will attract and kill the adults

let your soil dry out in between waterings.....the dont do any damage, they just fly around and multiply:)

fuck all that, the easiest way to kill them is put a little bit of water in a cup with some scented dish soap, and place it near the plant.
