Black gnats in soil
aRecreationaliststarted grow question 4 years ago
So this is not really a question for this plant.
But my house plants have become infested with little black gnats, that seem to be in the soil.
They kinda hang around the plants and doesn't stray too far from them.
Question is, what do you guys do to get rid of these suckers?

They will be fungus gnats they are attracted to decomposing organic matter/nutrients that are always damp, get some natural fly killer for the rest of the house to get rid of the majority just don't spray directly onto your plants but not in your growing space, use sticky traps and water less often, harmless just annoying.
Hope this helps friend

Just ordered some diatomaceous, should be here within a few days.
Will let them all dry out a bit and then replace the top soil, mixed with some of the diatomaceous, and a bit of it spread on top.
Thanks for all the answers 😎

Water them less and it should help control the outbreak , diatomous works also around the pots , I use BT-i which should get rid of them long term in ten days or a bit more ... hope this helps growmie 🔥🚀

Diatomaceous earth.
Let your top soil dry out and spray some on it.. Should kill any insect by absorbing flyid from their bodies.

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

First grow mid-flower pest?Help! Is this pest damage and what kind? I have about 100-200 ladybugs in the grow tent, and have for about a month now so I would be surprised if it were aphids. The damage is not extensive but there is a little here and there. Cant find anything under leaves.

How to treat spider mites in flower?Best spider mite treatment while in early flower? I want to completely knock these things out, but I'm losing the battle.
There are no webs, but they're still present and you can see all the white marks on the fan leaves.
Please help!

Mites?Hi. What are these? Slow crawling, not fast or jumpy, about the size of this period . They swarm by the thousands after I water. Plants are doing great. I hit them with CannControl and Lost Coast, population has reduced a bit. I’m leaning towards soil mites. What do y’all think?
