Well here are three sources backing up my claim, besides that I speak from experience:
- https://www.tipsbulletin.com/how-to-use-neem-oil-for-fungus-gnats/#does-neem-oil-kill-fungus-gnats
- https://plantcaretoday.com/neem-oil-fungus-gnats.html :
"Azadirachtin is a powerful systemic insecticide, killing grubs beneath the soil and being absorbed by the roots."
- growdiaries.com/journal/neem-oil-organic-pesticide-for-cannabis :
"The neem tree has its own defence mechanism which protects it from being attacked by insects. The sap produced by the tree contains azadirachtin, which acts a natural insecticide and has shown to repel hundreds of different types of pests."
Cheers, mate. All the best with your grow!

Get yourself some Mosquito Bits and use as directed... you just have to soak a certain amount of granules in a certain amount of water and then,, after straining out the granules, use the water for your plant... it will kill adult/eggs/larvae of the fungus gnats that are enjoying your too-wet soil....

Drench the soil with a 1:100 (max) solution of neem oil (with emulsifier included or add hand dish washing detergent). I prepare the soil in this fashion when I need to use the Home Depo soil; nothing has ever crawled out of it afterwards.
1:100 ratio: For 1 litre of solution, mix 10 ml of neem oil (with included emulsifier) with 990 ml of water.
1:200 ration: For 1 litre of solution, mix 5 ml of neem oil (with included emulsifier) with 995 ml of water.
Start a grow diary, mate - it's hard to help if you don't have any pictures of the plants. Join the community, if you wish! ā
Cheers!

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

Pest infestation left my plant folded and weak. I treated it, but now blacked out leaves?Ants were farming an oval shaped bug's secretions that was eating my stem and going underground, leaving a trail of a film-like substance.
Treated it with neem oil, cigarette butt tea, garlic and dishwasher soap to fend them off. Black leaves now. Tips?

Spider mites problemThere is any way to get rid of spider mites? I've tested with: SMC spray (spidermite control), Spruzit spray, predator mites (spidex vital 2000)
None of them worked, I've been fighting this for like 1 year its more or less under control but its being hard and boring
Maybe sulfur?Other. Bugs

Do I just hose it off and proceed as normal? Or hose it off and give to my most leechy smoking friend?Looks like mould, but I'm guessing spider mites.
I tried the 3 days of dark, pulled it out of the cupboard and it had this big clump on it. There was the odd spider mite before the cupboard.
Basically just wondering if I'll die sooner if I try and clean it up and smoke it???
