Fungus Gnats

Free_I_growstarted grow question 3y ago

I've been battling a fungus gnat infestation for about 3 months now. Pretty sure they came from a bag of dirt I purchased online. I've tried DE and Monterey Garden Spray. Not sure what effect they are having on my grows, but they are annoying as hell.

Gelbe Klebefallen sind schonmal ein Anfang. Gieße zusätzlich mit einer leichten Neem-Öl Emulsion, dann haben die Biester keine Chance.

For being week 7 into flowering, my buds look small. Is this typical? Will they plump up over the next 2-4 weeks? Is there something I may be doing wrong?

Nimb oil Hello Grower 😊 I read that Nimb oil helps with fung gnats. Do you have any experience here, and if so, in what proportion to mix the dressing to kill the larvae in the soil?

started off in a 1ltr pot, I want to transplant into a bigger container but the only ones I have are 5gallon/19liter smart pots. I'm only growing this auto flower for medical use and I'm happy to use the 5gallon pot. Anyone think this is a bad idea? Is it too big? Thanks!

Any tips for watering during the seedling stage right after germination? I keep either overwatering or underwatering. I'm scared to start in a solo cup as I'm doing mainly Autos and they might stunt the growth when transplanting. Grateful for as many details as possible.

Hey guys. Seems this one is a bit slow compared to her Sis. Could this be of the soil mix in the final pot that I transplanted it in? It's in about 60% peat moss/Perlite (Pindstrup brand) and about 20 % forest soil, 10% sifted cow manure and 10% cow manure ash.
