Fungus Gnats, Sciara fly

What I have VERY successfully used for fungus gnats is something called Mosquito Bits... you soak them in your water for 30 minutes (package will give you directions), strain them out (I put mine in a sieve or strainer to make removing them easier) and then water as normal.... If you've got a bad infestation, you should follow their advice to apply this once a week for 3 weeks... I only had to use it once and the fungus gnats were gone - have never come back. You can get these at any garden center or from Amazon... GOOD LUCK!

Aphid EradicationHow to ensure complete removal of aphids from grow tent? How long can they live without plants? Is soap solution enough to wipe out aphids present? I would like to use chemicals but not available in ontario. Sprayed with soap 3x but never seem to get them all, esp in flower tent.

Spider mitesSo it turns out the Thrips were not Thrips at all they are bloody spider mites. Noticed them feeding on nematodes after spraying. Predator mites on there way and sprayed with an 1-8 iso mix. Now should i rinse the plant with just water before adding the predators?Week 9

Bug problem aftermathSo I got rid of my whitefly problem with the amazing dr zymes eliminator. Now I am wondering if I should spray the plants with water to try to get rid of residue perhaps Now rather than doing a wash after harvest ? BTW they should be done within 2 weeks.

Should I scrape the scoops of chem?Definitely has thrips and has been through the wringer. Trashed the other four plants I started it with when I bought 9/30. This plant should’ve been harvested by now but I kept stringing it along and causing it problems.
It’s the middle of the three plants in the flower tent.
