they are great, and not just for fungus gnats.
it's good to kill them at different stages of life cycle at the same time -- look into any product with Bacillus thuringiensis Israelensis -- Mosquito bits and dunks are one brand.. searching for the bacteria may bring up a cheaper generic... a rose is a rose, in this case.
Anyway, this stuff has been used on our food crops for decades. You mix it in with your irrigation or top dress with bits and water in. It will kill the larva. your predator bugs will kill the adults... this bti stuff is good for killing most larva of any kind we'll see in the soil.
if the ladybugs run off, some yellow sticky trps will help kill the adults too, but obviously not a good idea with ladbugs around. Ladybugs will move on if not enough food.

Another thing to mention would be some nematodes before I forget. They have low doses I think 15 million and 20 million packs. There great for fungus gnats larva. If you added some of them with the lady bugs it should die off. Could be like me and never be able to get rid of them from living near the water so close. The inch of perlite or gravel seems to work the best IMO.

I’ve had ladybugs before and it helps but not always. If you put about an inch of perlite on top they’ll never touch the soil and die out. Or small pebbles. It’s best because if they do lay eggs they dry out before they hatch the roots. Took me three harvest’s to find a solution. Good luck hope it helps.

Problem creating a new reportHey guys, I have a problem creating a new grow report. Every time I try to create one, I get the message "Grow report created" and then immediately "Grow report could not be created." Has anyone else had this issue before?

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?

handelt es sich bei den Tieren um schwarze blattläuse? (Habe leider keine besseren Bilder hinbekommen)
Ich habe auch einige größere schwarze Tiere mit Flügeln an ähnlichen Stellen gefunden.
Denkt ihr mit Wasser und anschließend mit einer Seifenspirituslösung abspritzen reicht?
