Just when you think you have it under control you go out of town for a few days and come back to thriving thrip infest! I have been able to keep the gnats and thrips under control for the most part but this week they did some damage. LESSON LEARNED: DO NOT BE CHEAP ON YOUR SOIL!!! As you can see I have sticky pads on both sides of my tent and I sprayed neem oil last night. I also put down some food grade diatomaceous earth. Hopefully I can get rid of these pests before they start flowering! If not I will have to get some lady bugs and amblyseius cucumeris to finish the job. Anybody have any experience with amblyseius cucumeris before?

@PharmaZ, thanks for looking out! Yah after having them I’ve found thy I’m gonna use gnatnix next time I have issues. They were brutal

@put_around, did well considering the issues you had. I was going to say your feed info looked well light on the CalMag anyhow... You may already know this but prevent a fungus gnat issue in the future, due to your location. Cover the top inch of soil in the pot with perlite or sand. In most cases if you don't bury your stems in veg, roots don't grow around the pot In the top few inches of soil. Just a tip✌️🏻️

@PharmaZ, the gnats were around for the first few weeks and I thinned them out throughout. They became non existent the last 4-5 weeks. They stunting happened when it was a seedling. The thrips weren’t there long, maybe a couple weeks but you can see their markings on the leaves(silvery spots all over). I PH’d the water everytime to 6.3-6.5 but shot for 6.4. I could have used more cal/mag throughout as I saw some def in the lead tips which is a cal def and some purpling stems which is mag def. but nothing too off. I use fluorescent lights on a light mover. It’s 16-2 foot high output bulbs and this was their first grow. These were the quickest to finish but they were also some of the smallest. So far seedsman auto kush and auto diesel look to be the biggest yields. Fast buds look good but they are all smaller than seedsman.

@Lucky777, it still smells a little green but a hint of gassy citrus coming through. In a few days, I’ll update the whole diary with how the smoke is too

Try getting some beneficial nematodes. You might also add a layer of diatomaceous earth or glass chips to the top. Good luck!

@put_around, pretty straightforward. They do a great job. I used gnatnix (glass top dressing) yellow sticky traps but the nematodes took ‘em out. I got a package at the garden store and added them to just water over about a month once a week.

@TheFairyBudMother, I’ve thought about nematodes but haven’t had any experience with them. I had some diatomaceous earth but after a watering, it rinsed away. Just added more now the top is dry :)
