Fungus Gnats
Stoner_Thoughtsstarted grow question 9 months ago
Currently battling a fungus gnat problem. I already informed myself in depth but would love to hear your tipps and experience with fungus gnats. Its seems like there are a lot of beneficial insects against the larvae but not the adult (fly)!?

[Beneficial Nematodes] I use the brand pot popper.
Also kills the larva outright via microscopic parasitic worms and the adults die off from the lights and fans in mass anyways. You will notice a 100% turnaround in about 6 days times.
If your also looking for something to snag the adults growing a CP - carnivorous plants can help control them. The one I had in my tent for a bit is called a Butterwort, sticky leaves and the gnats fly down for a snack and the plants eat em. Venus Flytraps don't do shit, they eat larger prey like house fly's and spiders, smaller pitcher plants or Sundews may work as well but the best is a Butterwort hands down. I got mine off of facebook marketplace, local carnivorous plant grower. Can also use sticky traps and BTI like EZZ suggested below.
Good Luck!

BTI - “mosquito dunks” or “mosquito bits”
Stops the cycle by killing larvae, can put up yellow stickies for the adults in the mean time

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

Pest infestation left my plant folded and weak. I treated it, but now blacked out leaves?Ants were farming an oval shaped bug's secretions that was eating my stem and going underground, leaving a trail of a film-like substance.
Treated it with neem oil, cigarette butt tea, garlic and dishwasher soap to fend them off. Black leaves now. Tips?

BugsJust noticed a small grey Rollie pollie looking big on one of my seedlings. Only found one and believe I killed it but what should I do to prevent/get rid of these bugs. I have another seedling that I didn’t see bugs on and a flowering plant that hasn’t had any issues with bugs

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?

Just being cautious. I had a friend visit today. Long story short, before visiting me she went to a nursery notorious for spider mites. I did not know thisHow much should I be worried? She did not touch any plants directly. I cannot be certain that she had any mites on her. I am just being cautious. What is the best course of action? If my current flowering plants get mites, can I wash the mites off and still use the flowersa year ago

Dozens of little white bugs and clear eggs underneath fan leavesNoticed dozens of these little white bugs and clear eggs underneath the fan leaves of my white widow, which is flowering and almost ready to harvest. What are they, and how should I get rid of them without damaging buds? I have neem oil, insecticidal soap, B.t., and spinosad.

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.
