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

Hi guys. Today i found a problem in my room, i found this insects on the photos. I dont know which insects are they. I already killed like 5 of them, and i cant figure out from where they come, probably from outside, because i have a window opened in V, but the tent is isolated

Which pests do this?
Exactly what pest does this kinda damage? I have my guess, but wanna get other growers' opinion on this type of yellowing of leaves and brown spots. 6 weeks into veg. It started very early on at bottom leaves, once I trimmed them this brown spots appeared on top growth.

Bug Infestation
I want to identify the bug that has infested my garden. Is neem oil a good solution to prevent this problem next round? There is damage on top of the leaves as shown in the two pictures I provided. Couldn't see anything on the bottom of the leaves. Thank you in advance!

Wilting and yellowing leaves after vinegar water solution
I sprayed a mixture of 1/4 spirit vinegar + 3/4 water under the leaves to get rid of aphids (which may or may not have been the problem) earlier today. Now checking on her, I see yellowing of several leaves and wilting of others, which has me worried... normal, or a problem? 😳

Should I be feeding my clones in veg? I keep them in solo cups for 1 month, afterwards transplanted to a 3 gallon pot. Soil is fertilized, so I don't think I should be feeding, but my clones seem small. Soil: Fox farm ocean forest

Best way to get rid of gnats - growing hydro
Found 2-3 fungus gnats in growbox. Growing Hydro. Have/know no adequate product against them. Installed sticky papers but of what I read on net - it doesn't help (larvas). Your suggestion please! I have good range of products to choose from, would appreciate your recommendation!

Fungus gnats ruined my last grow and I just found one in my tent. I mixed food grade diatomaceous Earth in my soil just in case, but it looks like it didn’t work. I topped the soil with more and have a moving fan. Is there anything else I can do? I’m scared of another infestation
