Is there any access to your roots? Are they exposed to bugs can go in and eat/reproduce ?
Depending what medium ur using, a piece of plastic or dry layer of something like pool filter sand

One is a beneficial bacteria that takes up space, out competes bad slimes and such in hydro.
Gnatrol is a soil bacteria that stops bug larva im pretty sure it just interrupts the life cycle
Gnatrol. Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis, the activeingredient in Gnatrol, is a common bacterium found naturally in soil.
Gnatrol - Rincon-Vitova Insectaries
I think your safe , their both baccillus, it might be better to do one a week apart or maybe theyll out compete eachother
Iuno man lol

Are you in soil or hydro

Ok cool. So using both at the same time is fine? Just want to make sure I'm not interpreting what you're saying the wrong way.

Hydro. I've used Gnatrol plenty of times and always had good success with it.

the sag will be for your root zone and the pesticide would be whatever's above ground, right?
should be fine

Well they're Gnats so roots are what they go after mainly, I think. I suspect that that's how I got root rot in the first place. Little fuckers.

Yeah your in hydro so sag you need to use every week for it to work.
Once slime gets in its harder to fix than if you prevent it from the get go.
Id use sag every week . And if it doesnt work up your dose a bit , do you currently have root rot?
And i think your safe to use these together . Theres lots of products that contain multiple baccillus strains .
With sag if you over do it you can get a bloom of brown algae but its not super bad ..
Its not stinky and fucked like the normal algae you get with root rot.
Even if you keep it around 1ml per 15 gal, your still going to notice some brown on the roots /system.
Its fine dont lose your mind over it. If your a clean freak and need the roots to be white just get hydroguard they must filter it a few more times or some shit not sure . But either way sags little bit of slime isnt bad for plants . But if your not used to it it might be a little shock haha

Yes, I have really bad root rot right now(that's what brought me to this thread).
Do you think 2ml per 10 gallons for the first week is too much? The root rot is really bad.

did not know that. never had those before (knocks on wood). only mites which are hard as hell to get rid of too especially in late flower. those buds snapped, crackled and popped when you smoked them.

i just put in 2mL per hydrofarm (2 gals) cause i forgot to dose them when we got back from vacation.

Confused here a bit. So you're doing 1ml of SAG per gallon of water? And what's hydrofarm? Sorry, just woke up and haven't had coffee yet, I'm a little out of it.

That's NOT "Brown Algae" It's the bacterial colony from the SAG. They do multiply.

my bad, i meant waterfarm. by GH.
i usually do 1mL per waterfarm which holds 2 gal. but i forgot , so i gave them a double dose this week.
you really can't overdose with sag. if there is nothing to eat the bacteria just die off

Ok good to know, thx.
So if I go 2ml per 10 gallons is that enough than? Sounds like you're using more.
Sorry for all the questions. I just want to really make sure I'm using this stuff right when it gets here. Can't afford anymore set backs.

Per 10 gallons?
