no i am at work, will have to have a proper read when i get homeYou didn't do much reading, did you?
You didn't do much reading, did you?
i live in the u.k. and it's hard to get hold of skull nuke em. i may go down the nematode root they are claimed to deal with a lot of pests
ha...its soo true tho.dont underestimate them.cause it looks like they been chewing on yur leaves awile.They can be beat. I've beat them down once and now I'm going scorched earth on these mofos
Toaster79 you was spot on with the thrips, i got home got out the magnifying glass and there they were running up the leafs or they were feeding on them.

i bought some pyrethrum 5ec organic spray which has good reviews with dealing with this problem, the only thing is i can't get it until Monday.
a question for you:- do you think the plants will make it if i get on top of the problem next week?
i'm going to spray the hell out of the plants and will do the same all over the tent.
thank you for putting me on the right track much appreciatedIf there aren't to many you shouldn't worry too much. Pyrethrine with rape oil is what i used until lacewing larvae arrived. I can't tell you for sure what erradicated them but one of those did for sure. What you can also do is boil some hot chilli peppers and garlic, strain it and put it in a sprayer. Garlic should repel most of the pests and capsaicin should work on the soft tissue. Worked for me with spider mites.

my plants came from seed, the bugs must have been in the soil
If you work living soil i recommend biologic scanmask nematodes. I did 2 applications over a 2 week period. When you throw them down they cause a little nitrogen spike so be careful. With that h. Miles and some sticky traps no more and I'm working a 150g raised bed with alfalfa hay for mulch...fungus gnat paradise. My blumat system keeps the soil just moist enough.There's always a possibility of a pest flying into the environment or even yourself bringung it in the gargen on your clothes for example. Another source are pets for example. You have a dog, take it for a walk, it picks some adults or eggs outside and brings them in. Now you pet and play with your dog (or a cat), pick those eggs or larvae or whatever and introduce them to your garden. Sometimes, or say pretty often, critters come with the soil that's stored outside.
My wife bought 4 bags of soil the other day. One bag was loaded with h.miles for example. I was really giggling watching them all over the pots on our window sils and balcony. But another bag came loaded with fungus gnats. So some of the soil from this other bag ended in my tent where I had bunch of seedlings. Out of first batch of 15, only 4 made it. So I dropped another 10 beans, and guess what? None of them made it. What I am left with at the moment is one really healthy male and three under developed plants where at least 2 of them are also male. Basically left with nothing to work with because of a bloody fungus gnats infestation.
