Is this fungus gnat?
burnoutdevstarted grow question 5y ago
Hi, my auto has brown/orange spots. I'm figuring out the cause and I want to identify this insect.
Is this fungus gnat? If not, is it harmful to plants?
(sorry for the image quality, didn't have time before insect flew)

on Reddit, someone commented that its Ant Alate. I'll keep my eye if there will be more of them to get a better picture. Also, I tried to look closer myself and it didn't have so long legs as fungus gnat I think.

Hey there 👋
It’s a bit blurry, but it looks to be a fungus gnat.

They love moist soil, so try to let your plants dry out a bit more between watering. If you only see one, should be easy to get rid of- two or more and you have to worry about them breeding and laying eggs
Best of luck and happy growing 🌱

neem oil soil drench, is it safe?I've seen two ways of using neem oil to get rid of gnats, foliar spray and soil drenching. I've done the foliar spray but was hesitant to drench the roots in neem oil.. I guess by only doing the foliar spray the larva are still eating the roots.. I just wanna make sure thanks 🙏Week 4

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.

Fungus GnatsI've been battling a fungus gnat infestation for about 3 months now. Pretty sure they came from a bag of dirt I purchased online. I've tried DE and Monterey Garden Spray. Not sure what effect they are having on my grows, but they are annoying as hell.Other. Bugs

My plant is short and wide and the center is pretty crowded with leaves but they are all starting to produce trichomes. Is it an issue to have leaves touching each other in this state or do I have to remove some? I don't really want to mess with her in this stage.Week 8

Spiders in the outdoor garden, good or bad?I was out in the garden tending to my ladies and came across a couple of spiders. I know spiders are supposed to eat other bugs, but that also involves a spider web. So, my question is should I leave the spiders alone? Or should I kill them as I find them, like other bugs?
