I’ve been using them for a long time,
But I think I’m done,
Started using Gnat Nix as a preventive
I think we all wonder if the nematodes are even alive when you get them. Natrol is the best for gnats but it's not for us here in Canada. Not for sale here.
These guys have good fresh nematodes...according to them anyway.
very nice folks

Fun fact, Cannabis in Oregon tested positive for Spinosad will be recalled.

I’m guessing from being sprayed on the buds , shouldn’t have any traces from a medium dunk

I purchased this off of Amazon to get rid of my gnats but it's for Western Flower Thrips too. It worked for my gnats.

Worked great for me too. Killed my gnats in soil, never have any issue in Rockwool (hydro).

Temperature is a very effective tool against many insects. Bring your room down to 50-55 at night. It may affect your phosphorus uptake depending on strain at temps this low. But it will kill a lot of bugs like mites etc.

Ok thanks. I boiled 1/4 water and mixed with a table spoon of cinnamon. Strained through a coffee filter and diluted it into a spray bottle of water. An hour before lights out i sprayed the lower stems, the inside edge of the pot and the top of my medium (6"rockwool cubes w/50/50 perlite/vermiculite added to fill pots). Let it sit an hour. After lights out put carbonated water in spray bottle and gave tops of plants a light spray. After reading your post I think I'll add the portable air conditioner to the room as well.

I hate wiring, but I'm almost done :) 33 strips in parallel. Soon to be 36 and a centre row of far reds.

I was going to weld it, but decided I would tap and die it. So I can take it apart and use it in future builds. I'm just happy I was able to screw in all the all the bolts. It's not very pretty.
