How large is your facility?Howdy all, commercial grower, looking other knowledgeable growers to share ideas and growing techniques. Im hydroponic currently, but have experience in peat and coco as well. Im actually recovering from a bad fungus gnat outbreak, little fuckers. Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.
I wish I could help you there, those little fuckers are the bane of my existence. Literally EVERYWHERE. Oh, look! A little fucker gnat in my coffee!Howdy all, commercial grower, looking other knowledgeable growers to share ideas and growing techniques.

yeah i noticed the fungus gnats eat the fine root hairs and they "steal"the vigor & health of your plants.little bastardsThanks guys, my space is 8000sq ft. Im pretty sure I got the gnats under control with, microbe lift, neematodes, predator mites, sticky traps, and good gardening techniques. BUT, Im pretty sure the little fuckers left me with pythium, or some kind of fusarium fungal disease. G6rowth is slowed, leaves are drooping more than I like, and roots tips are burnt, and browning. Im hydro rockwool, res's are good temps, and well aerated, as well as environment. Ive been using orca, hydroguard, superthrive, and things are doing pretty good, but slower than normal, and roots are browner than normal. Ive got some rootshield, and rhizoblast/defensor which are beneficial microrganisms which I will run on my next round. Oh yeah, I tried spraying with some eagle20 too, and seems to work ok.
My fear is I may have to scrap all my mother plants if their diseased with pythium, or fusarium, then restock my whole grow, which will cost time and countless $$$$$$$. I have the seed bank to do so, but don't really want to shut down. I got 90lb off 56 lights last harv, but this one will be less for sure. Anyone with experience in pythium/fusarium and curing it will be greatly appreciated.

Well if you don't want me to come help maybe some pics will help. I have never heard of fungus gnats causing any of the problems you have listed. Maybe if you can give some details on your grow besides how big it is we can help u figure it out. Let's start with what's your ph run off?Grow God, any suggestions, or you just gonna play like your the shit.
Tnelz, thanks, I can pretty much write a book on fungus gnats, I already have microbe lift, thanks, and lotsa other products. My current problem is the root rot disease that the gnats have brought into my grow, and is spreading systemically into my clones from my mothers.
