first make sure you have gnats and not aphids
check the root ball for a white waxy fungus mycelium looking substances, this is what root aphids leave behind.

second if you have fungus gnats use 100% BTI. mix with water and water in.
root aphids. best is to restart clean with seeds or battle them out with a systemic chemical or fungus like met 52

I killed my gnats organically by just not watering my plant for 2-4weeks I'm on week 4 and all the fully grown winged fungus gnat adults are dead. My next lights on I will be watering them some 6.5 pH water as my last watering before this drought was nutrients so my plant even under 4 weeks of a fan and no water is flourishing.

I don't want any chemicals on my cul de sac crack because I can't smoke dank that I've sprayed with shit I wouldn't put in my own body.

EDIT: Holy FUCK praying mantis's are AWESOME I'm trolling craigslist as we speak must get the manti!

EDIT2: None found but... I found a website that ships common US praying manti and chinese type. What is the best weed praying mantis for my indoor garden?

EDIT3: Operation Nymph (baby mantis) is best!
 Praying Mantis go through a stage called a molt, where they shed their skin, and grow dramatically in size. During this stage they need to hang upside-down from a plant. I will use my mother in this experiment upcoming!
Put your plant, along with your Mantis, in your garden (if you have one), or in any small space. Like a bug container or anything small with holes.
Find food. It's pointless going to a pet shop to buy food, as you can find all it needs almost anywhere. Look for anything smaller than the mantis. Flies, crickets, grasshoppers, bees, wasps,butterflies,moths, etc. all make a good enough meal for a Mantis. If you feed your Mantis enough food, probably it won't run away. Do not play with it with your fingers in the air, or else it will jump off and escape. If it is starved, then it may try to escape. As long as it knows there is plenty of food where you keep it, then it will stay.
Spray your praying mantis with water every day, to give its atmosphere some humidity, and so it can drink.

I didn't play the video above but in my mind the vegative room for your mothers sounds like the perfect enviroment for a mantis to thrive in.

Edit: Fuck I was so high okay there are so many fucking kinds of mantises surely someone has experience on this I will search... PM me if you know.

best way to get rid of the fungas gnats is to not over water as they need a wet place to lay eggs
over the summer i had a bad out break of them in over 25 plants the best thing i used was
safer inscticidal soap at 2 oz per gallon of water flush them with it the entomb by adding a 2inch
layer of perlite,hydroton or sand to tops of soil that will keep them from laying there eggs

i got a good idea. never spray your plants with fucking neem oil. so nasty. use azamx til week two flowering. if you get mites after that then ise predators.they work great and they are safe to smoke. the reason i started growing is cuz of a holes spraying chemicals on buds. growing my own and effectivly controlling mite popluation the right way. down with chemicals natural or not thats gross!!,!

honestly i got infested egg potting soil that brought in Fungus Gnats and I researched online their eggs live for 2-4 weeks with water so if you don't water your plants for a month that organically purged my crops of winter fungus gnats (they come indoors as well when its cold).

I also set up fly traps and also bleached my drains because apparently they come up that way too.

Most domestic potting soils come infested with them you need to know what kinds don't come infested.

I'm vegging tho and I've never budded before. I am using coffee grinds as a spidermite repellent. Any other pre-emptive things I should do before switching too 12-12?
