Black flies
Fergie1984started grow question 5 years ago
Please help. From start of grow i noticed black flies in tent. I think after research they are fungal flies. I have sprayed plants/soil with diluted neem oil and did a neem oil flush but still the odd one appears. Any ideas what else I can do? Thanks

Hi @Fergie1984 the best way to deal with them is with yellow fly traps. you can also apply some product to protect your plant like the bio bizz leaf coat. neem oil is also a good option but I think it delays the development of small plants. these mosquitoes love the moist substrate, you can also put a 1 cm layer of vermiculite on top of the substrate. vermiculite dries faster and does not attract them. good luck 💪🙏👍

Hello bro)
U can also try to use enzym by the same way of spraing... Also,for full disenfection of tent use iodine (1ml/l).
In general neem oil good choice coz its can defend your plant from more than 400 insects"

Neem oil is just fine if you have serious problem, don't spray with chemicals!
They'll not harm the plants.
Are you sure its fungal flies and not just little black fruit lovers ?!

SilverfishI found a silverfish (is this the correct name?) in the soil of a plant; obviously I immediately threw it out and checked if there were others by moving the ground a little, but how do I make sure I make them disappear? or do you know if they can be harmful to the plant? 😭Week 1

Thrip in a bud?!So, today arrived my microscope to check trichomes and as I was looking them suddenly appeared a thrip on the lens. I´ve been dealing with them in my grow for about 2 weeks now. It´s not that bad but a thrip in the bud is enough for me.

creepy crawliesI got creepy crawlies. Clipped the entire leaf, mixed abt 3 drops of neem oil in 100-150ml tap water and sprayed the f*ck out of it. Then I checked the rest of my plants, found nothing but decided to spray them anyway. When should I re-apply? Any adverse effects of neem oil?

BugsSo, I found these little boogers on my girl, only two so far. I think they might be the cause for some of nibbling damage. I removed the horribly damaged leaves, I might have introduced too much of the flowering nuits at once, causing burn possibly.
