Hi if your like me fungus gnats really grind your gears and everyone has their own way of dealing with them
Personally ive found the fastest way ive ever dealt with a large number of gnats attacking at once
For this remedy you will need
1.Pack of fly strips as many or as little as you like
2. An issue with fungus gnats (big or small)
Ok so breakdown we know 2 things
1. Fungus gnats LOVE to fly around the bottom of your plants and really give your soil a new one
2. They are fast to appear and will cause MAJOR plant health issues which some novice growers may be quick to jump past the idea of gnats being what's wrong with their plants
Anyways what most people forget is this handy little thing called a fly strip
Why do i care so much let me tell you right now by laying a fly strip at the top of the soil and especially at rhe bottom of plants where it may be heavily infested
So basically if you dont have time to read this nonsense
1. Unroll the fly strip
2.Discard sharp hanging tack or keep it up to u
3.While avoiding sticking to leaves gently lay the strip around the affected plant or string across multiple pots if you are growing more than one plant if the infestation is heavy you should see them landing on the fly strip within 5 to 10 minutes
4.Keep in mind this is not a pesticide you are not going to "Kill them with fire" you are simply using their tiny fly brains against them and waiting for them to all land on the strip which for me took about 2 days to clear up the whole problem
This is a hypothetical idea I have not tried but you could take an extra container of soil and overwater it highly to attract the gnats then lay fly strips on the "bait" soil
I do not know how to implement this into an outdoor grow or greenhouse but for all the indoor growers i can assure you this is one of the safest and fastest ways to deal with fungus gnats and maybe even other marijuana pests
HOW TO DEAL WITH LARVEA: add diatemacuous earth to top of soil
No I dont know the PH just professer of pot coming up on the post about fungus gnats complaining about larvea like dont let people like Captain cuckold bring you down keep growing that shit everyday fungus gnats can be stopped they are not evolving
Happy growing hopefully this will take care of the little b*tches once and for all
Also added the smartass comment so it cant be removed names have been removed to protect the ignorant and the stupid (the bottom guy knew what he was talking about dont hate message him)
