I have a bunch of little bugs on my clone plugs, they dont seem to be doing much dammage currently and I'm prety sure they are young fungus gnats as I have spotted a few adults as well. Thinking I will just hit them with some mosqueto dunk treated water or spinosad (monterey). Any one have any input on this?

Edit < I tried to upload a short .MOV clip but it wont let me for some reason.

If those are gnats you need to get rid of them right away. Probably laid eggs already but too soon for a pesticide but an IPM (Athena) might work for the eggs. If you don't have an IPM then make about a gallon of light 300 ppm feed. Fill a large cup with the feed. Then take each clone one at a time and drown the bastards out for about 10 to 15 seconds. Put the clones in a safe spot away from bugs and a different (clean) tray. If they laid eggs you will know within a week.

If there are gnats in your room they will just get back in there in 5 minutes. You may want to check out the whole room you keep them in. Good Luck.

I hit the them with a drench and foilar spray of BT "Mosquito dunks" and Spinosad. Should take care of whatever the problem is. Those mosqueto dunks have been a godsend for any issues ive ever had with fungus gnats. Will post an update in a few days.

I had the same issue when I was using plugs awhile back but haven't had the issue but once and after I hit them with the neem they disappeared but honestly there are safer ways im sure
