Been using them for 6 years now.
Have not had gnats, or thrips for 6 years. :)

They also chase German cockroaches, mosquitoes, and Yellow jackets.
Basically anything that hunts by scent and/or lays eggs in soil.
Do not use bounce, they stink!
Kirkland unscented work a treat!
Change them out every 30 days or so.

And the best piece of advice that I give people is the use of dryer sheets on the soil surface to prevent Fungus gnat infestations.
Stops Thrips too.

I'm ultra-sensitive to taste, smell and feel. Dryer sheet fabric softener is the last thing I want in my flower room, stuff tastes so foul it's unreal. Sorry, but I call gross on this one. Keep in mind, 25% of the population have a very low sense of smell, 50% are average. What a bunch of people find 'ok' is rather nasty to a smaller, more sensitive, part of the population.

Even unscented tastes nasty.

I also am very sensitive to taste and smell.
I have found no detectable scent in my buds from sheets laid upon the soil.
The sheets themselves stop smelling in a few days.
However, it's not the scent that repels the flyers. It's the surfactants. :)

I'm curious, how do you deal with Fungus gnats?

jumpin jeebus guys..you finger pokers must have really long fingers to check moiture levels...unless you are growing in 1 gallon pots ! heyman i not big on electronic gizmos but good mositure meters are slick shit. I'm wanting to check mositure down DEEEEEP towards the bottom of my soil ...not a shoddy 3-4 inches from the top with a stink finger...but hey whatever works.

"If it's got tits or tires it's going to give you problems"

HaHa I like it.

I've been growing for 35 years and the only thing that hasn't changed is the plant itself. The best advice... Don't make a big deal out of growing weed. Give it what it wants and an untrained monkey can watch over your grow.

Best advice i ever got i never took heed. A grower pal back in 1993 told me" save your money kid, soon everyone is gonna catch onto how easy this all is and it will never be a sellers/growers market like this again." Yep. We were all making a ton of cash..what few growers that had the balls to do it. There werent any grow shops. One in the whole state. And they almost got shut down a few years before in Operation Green Merchant. This was back when 2 or 4 thousand watts was a HUGE grow. Lol. And it was at the prices people were willing to pay for good fresh sensimilla. Them days are long gone. Its not a hush hush secret anymore. Everyone and there brother is Ed Rosenthal. Iam still here. And i aint saved shit.

1. " Believe Nothing of what you hear, and only Half of what you see" !!!

2nd best was, let the genetics work for you, feed the soil and not the plant.

 

[PhatNuggz]

If you could name one piece of advice, that at the time seemed revolutionary to your knowledge and changed how you grow forever, what would it be? :)

Trust no one. Research everything

Probably the best advice. Research research but sometimes you just have to give it a go.

Too true, had a air wick air freshener right outside the tent on first or second grow. Lemon amnesia with a hint of blackberry and roasted figs is unattractive as shit. Ona block in the same room didn't cause any problems I could notice. I'm probably in that 25% though :D
