I'm finishing up my first grow (five females each in 6" pots) they are 8 weeks into flowering and I'll most likely be cutting them in about 9-10 days.
Aaaanyway, I have been doing battle with those stupid mold gnats for a month; I tried fly-strips which killed a bunch but the next generation kept coming. They really didn't do any harm to the plants, they were just annoying.
So by following some threads on here, I went and bought a bag of all-purpose sand today at Home Depot ($4.97 in the garden section) and put a little over an inch on top of the soil in the pots. Make sure that the sand is half-packed down, and make sure that it fills all the way out to the edge of the pot (this is where they always come out when you water your plants). I did this a little over five hours ago, and there is literally two gnats left and I killed them hahaha.
I guess those little b*stards aren't adapted to life at the beach
