Tips for fighting sciarid gnats?
RickSanchezstarted grow question 3 years ago
One of my plants became the victim of some sciarid gnats.
As you can see in the pictures,
I secured the soil, of all plants, so the sciarid gnats are not longer able to breed there.
Is this enough or do I have to do more? Any tips?
Thank you guys! 🙂

Yellow sticky traps, a very light spray of hydrogen peroxide 3% on the top soil/rocks. VERY LIGHTLY
Most bugs hate the smell and taste and can't live around it. Your just trying to cover the surface

That looks good for the breeding part—- but make sure you are implementing an IPM foliar spray safe for flower—- otherwise it just a repeating cycle. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

No sure about the gnats, (however they usually like it when things are too moist constantly), but that black wire in pic one (on the right) looks quite tight. If it is too tight, it can "strangle" the branch and kill the branch in the process.
Big loose loops are the go. Soft rubber covered wire is good, as is wide tape.
Cheers, Organoman.

You should be OK now. Those yellow traps will catch what's left.

I need help growing, I am new to it allI started king tut plants about 8 weeks ago but it doesn’t look as bushy as other ones I have seen. I water them once a day (morning) with miracle grow. They’re also on a 18-6 daylight cycle. Is there anything I should know or do different? I’m new to growing so any help is nice.

Photoperiods flowering early. Why will this happen?Why will a photoperiod plant flower early? Been a month and half in veg and is starting to flower. Should I switch light cycle to 12-12? I have two others in veg were planted only a few weeks ago in same tent. Should I sacrifice the growth of the others so that one can flower?

LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500kIs there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.
