Nice, looking good home skillet. Plants look awesome for your first coco grow, there can be a learning curve with it for some of us. What nutes are you feeding?

Noice! I've got BB in my coco/soil garden, also. Along with Obama Kush and Helen Back-Pinesicle

Might be the only way tbh. Bti not work, h202 or clorox. Athena ipm I have a jug but Im too busy figuring out how to ban the gnats period for a whole grow cycle.
I use preventatives like traps and lures and yellow sticky traps for monitoring. I have a catcher with a Led on the top and a fan blowing onto a sticky pad. One located inside and one outside of the tent.

They are easily attracted to UV light and are retarded flyers, very bad at flying.

Cheers!

A thread that has acknowledgement that seems like nothing works but what weve been doing with bags and panty hose or mesh bag. People will say certain things work while there a threads people will say damn theres nothing that works.

For some people like me it was ruining entire harvests with root rot which is probably pythium. So I shouldnt consume it if it does that, sudden cola death especially. Tryng make a habbit of only harvesting good plants nice clean.

switched back to DWC how do you deal with fungus gnats when growing in coco
Microbe lift bmc fully took care of my fungus gnat problem in soil… u have to disrupt the lifecycle, the microbe lift bmc will kill the larvae. The adult flyers u can zap em with a bug zapper or use yellow sticky tape

With coco bricks, i rehydrate in BTI (mosquito dunk crushed up) for a day. Drain and then buffer. I do add BTI to 4 liter water container and let it sit if i need it. No gnats. DE and sand on surface helped but BTI was best before grow starts.
