Hi
I thought I would share this but maybe some know it already.
I had mild pythium. Got rid of it through a plant soak in hydrogen peroxide and also complete clean and flush in hydrogen peroxide.
There's a ridiculous amount of ratio's online for what dilution of hydrogen peroxide to water to use, but I put 12% hydrogen peroxide at 500ml to 25 litres of water and have seen no ill effects on plants after 10 days, that's 50ml per litre.
Mr root ball is huge so in deep there was still some surviving fungus gnat larvae.
So I put in some super sticky fly catcher strips (see picture) and now that the final larvae have turned to gnats they have all got stuck on the strips and died.
The fly catcher strips I put in each 15 gallon hydro bucket and hung a few in the tent, brilliant things. They'll no doubt catch all sorts of bugs.
The sticky stuff on the strips is based on tree sap so really sticky.
Hope this helps
John
