Carefully aerate the soils, starting at the edges of the pots, taking care not to disturb the roots. Put on a dust mask, preferably paper N95, cover your arms, wear rubber gloves and close fitting glasses...then scoop about 4 Tablespoons of diatomaceous earth on top of soil, and work into the top 3 inches, being careful with roots. The little creatures bleed to death as they hatch. If adult flies persist, and your grow is not flowering, spray neem oil mix just before lights out all over soil and tops and bottoms of leaves. The flies will disappear , but you may have to repeat once weekly to break their life cycle. Again, protect your lungs, eyes and skin. Do not breathe diatomaceous earth dust or neem oil spray.

Simple just get the Mosquito Bits put them in a cheese cloth or strainer bag. Simmer your water......then soak the cloth or bag in it. Let it cool for a few hrs and feed the medium.

Those are fungus gnats. Get some Mosquito Bits. You can make a tea with it. Feed the medium with it.

It is the best way to kill them instead to use insecticide. You will see these yellow cards are effective. Bye

Eaten leafs by something?Hi, there's some sort of pest eating away at my leafs but it's just on a few and I can't seem to find the culprit! Anyone have any ideas? Could it be something else? It's my first grow so I'm not at all sure. Should I leave it or do something to treat? Cheers all!

Rats on the farmI live on a farm and there are rats that run around in the night.
Atm I'm moving my girl outside in the day 6am - 5pm, then inside for 4hrs of darkness, then under lights from 9pm - 6am. Repeat.
The plan is to leave her outside 24hrs when flowering. Will the rats get her?Week 1
