Just had a fungus gnat issue. Diatomaceous earth sprinkled on the soil killed 90% of them. Good luck!

Not sure how this will help you know. But I’m using a supersoil, and put a 1/4” layer of sand on the bottom. No gnat issue so far

Throw in a Hot Shot pest strip overnight and wake up to dead gnats. 🤘😤

hi,
i use to leave 1 inch perlite layer on the top of the soil. this will prevent new gnats to get out and go to reproduce. you can also put a potato slice in each pot and change it every 2.3 days. gnats will go to reproduce in it
cheers

Nematodes in combination with fertilizerI ordered nematodes (SF) today, and i read something in an article about how they can't handle nitrogen. Should i worry about their effectiveness(if there is any at all) as i want to start feeding around the same time as using the nematodes?6y ago

2 part, first I found a few black dots (picture added to this week) which I thought might be pests but didn't move - research says it could be catapiller droppings but can't find any of those - what else could they be? Second I did find a spider chilling assume he's good?

Attempting to grow a landrace strain from seeds I brought back from West Africa in 2017 (Togo/Nigeria). Probably grew in the wild given buds were full of seeds. Growth has been slow so far. Switched to 13/11 recently. At week 5, wonder if leaves will ever get bigger.Week 4

Alright I am not sure what to do. The breeder suggests 60 days in flower and she is ready for harvest. But because of the thrips infestation I had, 1 girl seems to be stunted. Should I just wait longer than 60 days and hopefully they recover and fully mature?Week 14

Pest control looks like fungus gnats and larvaeEver since this grow i noticed fungus gnats flying around. I always put sticky traps down and would catch an adult every so often but always saw tons of little dots I thought was dust or fabric until I used my scope. I bought a product gnatrol and will try it. any suggestions

Pests bites from leaves?I think I’ve got pests my two top cola branches have got what look like bites taken out of their fan leaves. I’m hoping someone might know what the cause is I’m thinking it’s a caterpillar, but I’m unsure on how to identify it or get rid of it.
Help is much appreciated thanks 😊

What are these bugs?Just discovered these little black bugs. I don't think they're flying. They're mostly on the soil. Some were on the stalk but they don't seem to be on the leaves and buds. I'm growing indoors in organic soil. Not sure if these are a problem or if they'll regulate themselves.
