There worse time for me is in the summer months.. I place sticky traps on paper plates , and place them on the floor area.. and also hang one up.. I also been lightly misting my top soil after waterings with a little
neem oil mix.. and mist the drainage holes too.. It just keeps the little bastards population down.. They love the organic matter and feast on it.. Chocolope! wtf.. More Special K bro.. Best always Donny Peps
Yep...my poor little chocolope, bro. I'm mondo disappointed! :( I was really starting to look forward to it after researching it a bit, and seeing all the delicious You Tube grows of it! More bad news...the Grape Rom succumbed to it too! FUCK! :mad: Now I'm REALLY pissed at this shit! I talked to my guy at the grow store today and he said a few other customers had experienced the gnats and "other problems" (I never could get him to specify) with that batch of
Happy Frog! He assures me his current inventory is NOT thusly affected! He's going to replace the soil at his cost and throw me a "couple of goodies" he said. I thought that was very nice. Well...as disappointing as this is, I have too many running right now anyway, so I won't restart them just yet. They are both definitely up next though! I'm getting worried about getting a GR now. Only 2 beans left!!!
Those yellow sticky traps are great! I've got several going right now. You have NO idea how bad of an infestation you may have until you use them. When I first put them out, I was seeing 3 or 4 gnats when I visited the girls, but it was never much worse than that. I put the traps out and 24 hours later, I had literally hundreds of the fuckers stuck! I was shocked! :eek: That's a good suggestion with the
Neem Oil! I'll probably try that!
:meh: Oh well...onward and upward! Thanks for the special Karma bro! My research has found out that they're susceptible to this until about week 3-ish...so I'm not out of the woods yet either!
THANKS AGAIN TO BIGDAMBUD1!!! I appreciate you alerting me to the soil as a cause bro! I feel sure after talking to my guy, that this was the problem. When we hook up one of these days, BigMa...I owe ya dinner and drinks at the very least! I might even throw in a BigDamnBud!!!!
PEACE!
Max :wacky:
