maybe in soil but so does simply drying out the soil well. OP hasn't stated if he's in soil or hydro. I can tell you now all mosquito dunks in hydro is fuck up your res, plan on cleaning it for awhile after you use those things, in hydro gnatrol I believe it is will take out the larvae fucking up your rootzone but also leave your plant possibly harmed. having said that iF you don't get rid of these things your crop will be fucked, happy new year and good luck.
Thanks everyone for the tips, looks like I will be back out getting more stuff. Anyone keep the hot shot pest stuff in there flower room?
never, maybe early if I see anything flying around but other than that those things are trash, those that say they kill spider mites, I had no luck. I use nothing poison in flower.I had to chop two plants, they had the worst of it, Been fighing these guys for months, sorry for the hyjack, but hope the OP wins the battel before he loses girls like i did
I think this is the stuff with cedar oil in it.
You havent seen the larvae because they are in your soil feeding on the roots of your plant if you dig a little I can almost guarantee you will find tiny little clear/white dots which are the larvae.
Drying out becomes a issue because then you stress the shit out of your plant.
maggots! you should possibly see some in the run off too.
as if those nasty little maggots aren't stress, I'm thinking cedar oil isn't the greatest thing for stress too.
No GO-GNATS has cedar oil... Predatory nematodes are a ringworm you cant see them with the naked eye you just add them in a sponge ( they come in a sponge) you add them to water and then water your plants they burrow in the dirt and NOM NOM on the larvae..
ah, thanks for the correction, I did try the nematodes in hydro with no luck. the only thing that worked for me was to harvest and clean shit up.
