What's with them? If you get the right type, they'll help eradicating FG.
CorrectAre you saying the mosquito dunks won't kill beneficial insects?
Nice yea I just bought some. I wasn't aware it was a bacillus strain. I actually got the pellets though. It says to top dress with it but to apply to standing water.. I don't have standing water so is it possible to just drop these in with my regular root drench? Side note: I have only noticed a few fungus gnats since using Nemotodes, sticky traps, strategic watering. However I'd like to take care of the problem for good while I have them on the decline and since this is a bioinsecticide it should be ok.Correct
Fungus gnats hang around water, you should never get fungus gnats and if you do its a sign you've been over watering or at least watering to often your medium. Always aerate the top of your medium after watering. If your getting larvae on your medium you really have kept your medium saturated for extended periods. Humidity plays a roll but they like sitting water or heavy situated medium or whatever is stay wet.
MD'S are beneficial nCorrect
Get the dunks, the prill doesnt work as well. Did extensive comparisons years ago.Nice yea I just bought some. I wasn't aware it was a bacillus strain. I actually got the pellets though.

I am used to having a "normal" amount of fungus gnats, I know that a truly balanced soil doesn't have FG, but I have never had them this bad, and after taking the advice of this thread I have virtually eliminated them in my space. Thanks everyone.

Just smash into powder and spread around on top of soil. Water or feed. We aerate the top of soil frequently so it mixes in but you don't have too.
Once you get the MD'S going you won't have any issues my friend.I am used to having a "normal" amount of fungus gnats, I know that a truly balanced soil doesn't have FG, but I have never had them this bad, and after taking the advice of this thread I have virtually eliminated them in my space.

Yea just crushed em up and top dressed a little on each container and haven't seen one yet in a few days. Stooooked!! Thanks for the info, good looks. It's been getting really cold here in NorCal the past few days and I don't have the heater set up so soil is taking much longer to dry out but I think the md's with the Nemotodes to eat the larva should do it. Vondank is that your grow? Damn bro, living the dream.Once you get the MD'S going you won't have any issues my friend.

View attachment 742858 Ive never gotten gnats bro, veg or bloom and i keep my humidity booming at about 75% RH in veg. I View attachment 742857 Just use good old Pro Mix HP or Sunshine #4, I slightly sweeten the peat with organic amendments and add a little perlite and a minut amount of crushed dolomite like, I mean like a half teaspoon per 7 gallon bucket because the shit will fry your roots quick but if administered properly, it's a great source of calcium and magnesium and keeps your PH in check while peat and amendments break down over time. This is my little outfit yesterday at day 30 bloom.
If this is just for your meds and your happy with the results than keep doing what works for you.Every transplant into new soil gets a Gnatrol drench... In my veg/stretch room, I alternate foliar (lights off obviously) -- azamax and Nuke Em, every 3~4 days alternating...heavy foliar drench so some drips into the soil too..azamax I go 1 shot glass per gallon...nuke em is 4 shots glasses per gallon...never had any burns or damage
Trying to follow but I didnt catch what MD was or crushed dunks? Indoor room in HawaiiIf this is just for your meds and your happy with the results than keep doing what works for you.
I've found less is more. If you ever feel like trying a test give the crushed dunks a try without anything else. I'm not trying to push my experience on you but I'm sure you would love to have the least amount of problems for the lowest cost while producing a great medicine that is as natural and clean as possible. But once again, if your happy just ignore my reply.
Always dealing with gnats and pests...even indoor, cause Hawaii nothing ever dies, high humidity...also read up and didnt catch what MD was or crushed dunksIf this is just for your meds and your happy with the results than keep doing what works for you.

Mosquito Dunks. They come in packs compressed into small donut shaped pucks. When crushed up into powder they are easily spread over your medium "soil" can be also applied to Rockwool. Or even trays if you have standing water. Promoted for mosquito elimination but great for gnats.Trying to follow but I didnt catch what MD was or crushed dunks? Indoor room in Hawaii
