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! 🙂

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 part—- but make sure you are implementing an IPM foliar spray safe for flower—- otherwise it just a repeating cycle. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

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.

Showing sex/Pre-flower queryHi,
I'm still a beginner so I'm having a little battle in my own head about this.
Am I right in thinking as long as these girls have shown sex on a 20/4 light schedule they will start to flower soon?
Also, Photos require 12/12 to show sex right?
Thanks in advance.4 years ago

Advice for checking trichomes?Any advice for checking trichomes? I have a loupe but just purchased a digital microscope. Images look great, I can get really close up comfortably. Curious where on the plant one should look, multiple locations, etc. I think I’m shooting for 10-20% amber.Week 15

A little off-topicThis is more of an industry-related question.
As an experienced, certified grower how hard is it to find a legit/non-legit job in the industry(cultivation/propagation/trimming) in Canada? BC more specifically.

Is this an RO system?I found this is my basement of our new house and I'm wondering if this is an RO filtration system and if its worth trying to reconnect it as it appears to be bypassed. It does have an electric water softener which I heard you shouldn't use but I'm curious what it is in any case.4 years ago

LSD-25 not progressingMy LSD-25 is not progressing at all. I don't know what I can do to push-start it, the medium is coco coir and perlite mix and I did buffer with CalMag. Other plants are just fine. Might be the luck of the draw but I'm still being patient with her. Any thoughts on this?4 years ago

It's been 4 years since my last grow(5 successful harvests, so I'm still a beginner).
I was just wondering if these girls were showing sex in these images?
