Those big tablets they through in ponds for mosquitoes work for gnats. It comes in a crumble too. Just sprinkle on top soil.

Try a clear cup in the solo cup next time, you can peek in her panties to see how wet and deep the root goes. Too wet, you get bugs. Haven’t seen your plants since Feb, did you transplant yet? I’m in the middle of uppotting and will do one more when they go outdoors. Let the cups get lightweight and move them into damp soil. Dont be afraid to lose a lot of dirt, the roots are going to be fine in that fresh moist warm virgin soil, they love it rough. But the stem is very delicate so no bending, keep it straight and stiff between your fingertips, while gently cupping the root ball with your other hand, no root hair pulling! They seem to like the lights down low or off too, maybe a little Al Green in the background...I *hate* fungus gnats man. That I learned.
So...no Sadé? That must be my problem. They've been in their final press for a while now. I took clones and butchered them baaahaahaa! Ohhh well. They're just starting to flower. And apparently I took one clone and it was too far into flower and is budding in the solo cup. I'll post pics. Btw, I got these grow bags which have multiple drainage holes, but they just do not let the soil dry out at all. I have to repot them and go easier on the water. I got the gnats bc my soil was crappy and way too dense. I just never got rid of them. I have a bunch od other stuff growing with them so it's a bit jungley in there. I'm in the process od moving stuff around right now though. I have plants in 3 different spots.Try a clear cup in the solo cup next time, you can peek in her panties to see how wet and deep the root goes. Too wet, you get bugs.

I've been using mosquito bits. Do people dissolve the dunks in water? I've done both with the bits. I'll be glad to get this chuckle over with and start over. It's really exciting to see them bud though. And I don't even care who knows it, lol.Those big tablets they through in ponds for mosquitoes work for gnats. It comes in a crumble too.

I already switched to clear cups for my other plants and will be using them on these in the future as well.Try a clear cup in the solo cup next time, you can peek in her panties to see how wet and deep the root goes.

I don’t do diseases but that looks like a bug. Scope under the leaf. I’d spray them with spinosad before they get further into flower.*what* is this?? It's only on one plant.
I punched holes all over the bags. I hate them. I can't elevate then so I'll just have to be more attentive.U gotta get the bags off the floor so air flows under then to dry out, no soggy bottoms. Clear cups are great as long as no light gets in or algae can grow.
Sadè, Adele whatever isn’t too distracting, no Abba
Duh, you said it comes in a crumble. I have way too much going on at once. I've never seen the crumble but I'm going to look now. I'd really prefer that. I think these bits are too coarse and big.Those big tablets they through in ponds for mosquitoes work for gnats. It comes in a crumble too. Just sprinkle on top soil.
I can't drink coffee. But I have a Keurig anyway (from when I could).I've been reading coffee grounds are a natural bug repellent. I cover the whole top of the soil. Also dont dump out your brewed coffee if you make it at home you can water it down and give to your plants it has nutrients they can use
Frigidaire 30 or 50 pint.Can anybody recommend a small dehumidifier that actually works well?
Thank youFrigidaire 30 or 50 pint.
Looking nice and healthy for your first run. The leaf in question almost looks like handling damage. I just dont see typical signs of bug damage. Never hurts to scope them for insects anyway. Emptying your dehumidifier can get old doing it twice a day unless you have a drain you can run a hose to. So I always suggest going with bigger reservoir.So...no Sadé? That must be my problem.

I just remembered I found something weird with one od the big ones. I'm going to post that too. I think it's light burn but that's not really logical because they're not on the top of the plant.
I can definitely see that being the case. I just didn't notice it before now.Was just looking at those photos of leaf damage and if someone hasn't chimed in I wouldn't say that damage is from the gnats or soil conditions. That looks like physical damage from topping or moving it around and getting pinched or something. Thats damage when the leaf was small and grew out.
I see that like two three weeks after topping em. First time I saw it I thought that was some bug damage too.
Anything big enough to do that you would see, like a caterpillar or grass hopper.
Haahaaha! You're just being nice. I'm winging it as I go. I'm learning a ton though.Looking nice and healthy for your first run. The leaf in question almost looks like handling damage.
