HELP ! I think I have fungal gnats
nards__420started grow question 4 years ago
Hey guys ,
I’ve noticed my plants start wilting and a few little yellow spots and lots of gnats flying around the grow room :(((
I’ve ordered some yellow sticky pads to hang around and also will cease to water for a few days ! Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Hello
Fungus gnats are a pain!
The best most effective treatment I've found is the granular "mosquito bites" they sell them everywhere, garden stores, home depot..Walmart. sprinkle it on soil, in any saucers under pots and most importantly soak some in a gallon of water overnight and water the soil thoroughly. It'll kill most of the larvae in there.
You can also do neem meal or cake and similar thing soak overnight and stir and then soak the soil.👍 problem should be solved or manageable. Keep the yellow sticky cards though right above the soil and that way it can catch any flying adults.

You probably do have fungus gnats, but I do not think that's causing the wilting. I think you are over-watering her. Water in BTI its an organic biological.

Sounds like you are moving in the right direction! Would recommend what you are doing and some diatomaceous earth powder to sprinkle on the soil—- it’s like shards of glass for the bugs. And maybe a pest management spray—- Amazing Dr Zymes is good to spray on the soil and plants... good luck!

Moist build up at bottom - overwateredI believe this seedling had too much moist. The soil was moisty when I filled the pot.
Somehow the pot feels very heavy now and seems there is a build up at the bottom. I made some airpockets to the bottom.
Should I wait or take it out and put it into a cup and dry the soil?

Leaves pointing downwardsThe leaves behave different then a few days ago. I watered them with nutrients, but maybe 1L divided over the three was too much for them? Is it the day night cycle of too much nutrients or water or because they are standing in front of my open window with cold wind?

Leaves curling downward on 1 of 2 plantsI have two plants in my tent. They have have been treated the same this whole time.
But one plant has many leaves that are curled (photo with red circles), while the other plant has all normal looking leaves. Any idea what would cause the curling like that?

Leaf edges are curling downwardYesterday and today noticed quite a few fan leaves turn glossy with edges curled down on the sides. After doing some initial research, my most knowledgeable guess at this point in wind burn. Makes sense since it faced the plants directly. Any other ideas why this is happening?
