Neem oil is wonderful, I use more home remedies now, diatomaceous earth is awesome as well. Cannabis is a plant, just like any other plant when it comes to growing, most plants have something unique about them, they are still plant, if you are still leary, try a small patch of your plant and see.Ok, this morning I found a little bugger buzzing around in my tent. I couldn't find any others and looked under leaves. Put down another gnat trap and hoped for the best when I left the house. This got me thinking about neem oil and spray.
I use this awesome cold pressed organic neem oil on my veggies and it works great with no noticable adverse reactions. I use about a tablespoon in a litter spray bottle with a few drops of Dr. Bronners pure Castile peppermint soap. It does the trick.
I've read you can use it on the lady's, but still a little nervous. Anyone use this? Any recipe suggestions? Should I just use the same formula as I do in the veggie garden?
Thanks
You saw one fungus gnat and that's what you're talkin about? or was it some other kind of bug?I think I'll do that. I'll make a slightly weaker solution than I do the rest of my plants, hit up a few parts and see what happens.
PS- I love the smell if neem oil! Haha
Neem oil in a tent is going to stink like hell! Try Gnatrol in the soil for the larvae and yellow sticky cards to catch the flyers. The easiest way I have found to keep the fungus gnats at bay is to keep the top inch or more of my soil dry and water your plants by flooding from the bottom in a tray. A thin layer of Diatomaceous earth on the top of your soil as ACE 9137 suggested may keep the larvae from surviving just as Gnatrol would.I believe it was a gnat. There was only one stuck on the traps so that leads me to believe it so.
Maybe I use less than a tablespoon. It's about a caps worth in that container. Could be a teaspoon. I usually go by the amount that floats to the top and it isn't much.
Besides the yellow traps, what else is used to battle those little f-ers?
I keep a 9" high velocity fan on the floor on low and the air circulation, in addition to being beneficial in general for plants will not let them fly and eventually breaks their life cycle, used with the sticky traps recommended aboveI believe it was a gnat.
