Hey Big KF ! so sorry bro, in english these are called fungus gnats. they are a pest, and they lay eggs in the soil. there are a few remedies, some are chemical some are organic, but of course not very much works except biological warfare. So it's gonna be a three step process. first get some Steinernema feltiae which are nematodes which are microscopic worms that destroy eggs and contaminate the flies and make them sterile. simply buy some of that and follow the instructions on the packet for "outbreak" not "prevention". Second, get sticky strip, a lot of sticky strips... spend like 20 bucks on them, and put them up all over, including over the soil, at different heights here and there, and ... everywhere sticky strips... finally, get some sand and make a top layer on your soil to prevent re contamination. as final things, increase the air circulation, and never wear outside clothes in the grow room or near the grow room. Hope this helps ! 🚀

autoflower, extended veg time, due to mainlining "topping,training" and stable genetics and pot size ?Could you in theory manipulate the veg time of an autoflower, by doing main-lining "lots of topping, training" with good genetics, oversized pot, 24 hour lights and good timing ?
Ive experianced a few plants staying long in veg, without showing signs of stress or stunt.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Is it safe to run oscillating fans after sprinkling diatomaceous earth on the top while in seedling stage ? The stuff is so fine and light I think it could fly and cover the babies.They act as microscopic razor blades for fungus gnats - could these blades harm the babies as wellWeek 1

About those fungus gnats, I definately won't be buying bags soil from the same distributor next time. Since this pest is something most growers wind up with on occasion so do you try to add preventatives to your soil mix every time or take some other steps?Week 3
