If you can get a couple of yellow sticky traps it will help you to confirm the species. Once they are on the card, take the card and put it next to your PC and google Fungal Gnat image. They have a couple of unique body parts that will help you to confirm they are Gnats and not root aphids. Once you have confirmed they are fungal gnats get some pond scum remover. You are looking for a specific bacteria, BTI. It will kill the gnats in their larvae stage of life. Add it to your water and try to drench the whole top of the soil or Coir. I would do it for a week the first treatment and follow it up for another week after waiting a week for the next generation to try and kill them off permanently.I am in my tent daily and have never really noticed any sort of bugs with wings in there but today i noticed by the light 15 or so of these really really small flying bugs. too small to get a picture of.
I haven't noticed any visible damage to the plants at all and I always make sure to clean up the runoff water with a towel to prevent this sort of thing. What is the best way to handle this? I am 2 weeks into flower using Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil.
I googled fungal gnats and I am happy to say they don’t appear to look that way based off what I can see of them quickly. They look more stubby than that, but again I’m seeing them for like .05 seconds at a time.If you can get a couple of yellow sticky traps it will help you to confirm the species.

Well good to know for sure what it is and how to correct it. I appreciate everyone helping me out.Yep, fungus gnats.
thank you this has been a great learning process so far for sure but its nice to hear that they are looking decent to people who have been doing this for some time now.By the way, good looking plants.
I would defoliate the bottom half to push more into the flowers.
Yeah, you want to remove all the leaves that are below flowers. Leave at least one node under any flowers.thank you this has been a great learning process so far for sure but its nice to hear that they are looking decent to people who have been doing this for some time now.
When you say defoliate the bottom half are you talking just cut everything from main stalk from the halfway point down? Do you think this will give me more beefy colas?
Also I really appreciate the how to on using the the Plant Therapy mentioned above. Y'all are some real bud savers out here!
alright so youre saying cut all the fan leaves but leave anything thats got a flower site growing attached to the plant correct?Yeah, you want to remove all the leaves that are below flowers. Leave at least one node under any flowers.
It will look something like this:
Ummm... Sorta. The main flower for each branch is on top. Where that one starts is the level you do not want to go over.alright so youre saying cut all the fan leaves but leave anything thats got a flower site growing attached to the plant correct?
