Hey growmies, thanks for stopping by ✌️ The Fruity Donutz are finally picking up speed and growing really well. The black fly infestation is under control thankfully 😊 Still a few diehards that haven't met my flytraps yet, but nothing serious. Since a day or 2 the growth has accelerated and I can almost see them grow bigger by the hour. The Sanlight is now at 100% and I raised it to a safe height to give the plants time to adapt. Thay's all for now. Stay tuned for more updates and pics later this week ✌️😊
It´s not only about sticking-traps . You need to eliminate all the larvae , cause they are the problem . Just use some nematodes , it´ll work quickly and safe ! Good luck , Growmie
@Zengrower, welcome , buddy !! Yeah , i tried mites just once , as i found nematodes to be the terminal solution 😁💀😂😂 . And yeah , most times it´s much more than expected . The yellow stick-traps are mostly for controll of infestation and also to catch the adult gnats ( black fungus gnats / bot. Sciara analis) , but dem larvae are (imo) only really affected by nematodes (you could also use Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis , but more as prevention) . So if you have many adul gnats , there are a bunch more larvae . Also you should watch your watering , as too humid substrate will get all those gnats round you attracted 😳
Edit : those yellow stick-traps loock quite full 😌 if you calculate 1 female gnat will lay up to 200 eggs , you might get a clue of how many of the larvea are feasting on your plant´s roots (as the larvae normally eat fungi (those fungi helping your plant to live , and as there are not many of those fungi in a pot , as you can imagine , they´ll switch to roots )👻
