Tips for fighting sciarid gnats?
RickSanchezstarted grow question 3 years ago
One of my plants became the victim of some sciarid gnats.
As you can see in the pictures,
I secured the soil, of all plants, so the sciarid gnats are not longer able to breed there.
Is this enough or do I have to do more? Any tips?
Thank you guys! ๐

Yellow sticky traps, a very light spray of hydrogen peroxide 3% on the top soil/rocks. VERY LIGHTLY
Most bugs hate the smell and taste and can't live around it. Your just trying to cover the surface

That looks good for the breeding partโ- but make sure you are implementing an IPM foliar spray safe for flowerโ- otherwise it just a repeating cycle. Good luck โ๏ธ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐จ

No sure about the gnats, (however they usually like it when things are too moist constantly), but that black wire in pic one (on the right) looks quite tight. If it is too tight, it can "strangle" the branch and kill the branch in the process.
Big loose loops are the go. Soft rubber covered wire is good, as is wide tape.
Cheers, Organoman.

You should be OK now. Those yellow traps will catch what's left.

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

77 days old autoflower, up to this point is personal taste or still there ways to go?
I majorly see milky and a few ambers trichomes, correct?
Those white pistils are due to the foxtailing, so is not a good metric.

Contest curiosityFor those who have experience in contests:
How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isnโt that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl
