Fungus gnats in coco

[Herb potman]

I have been reading up on coco. Maybe next grow From what I read no bugs except gnats Heard sand at top of medium helps n yellow sticky strips Then I seen this item but thought maybe the light may HERM plants. Any thoughts. Any experience

Capturing the adult flying gnats is easy enough however you do it.

For killing them in the coco I use mosquito dunks. Crumbled and crushed up then added to the top of my coco pots. Top feeding spreads the bacteria thru the coco.

Unfortunately, the dunk prices are out-effin-rageous for Canada.

I buy six packs at homey depot for $10 US.

Amazon.ca : mosquito dunks

Hanging sticky paper and top dress with food grade diatomaceous earth to get rid of fungus gnat works for me.

Has anyone tried sand at top of medium or is that less efficent. And is gnats a very common thing with coco grows ?

Fungus gnat infestation is usually attributed to watering problems. Please share more details of your grow environment such as medium and watering schedule, lights, genetics

The whole reason I switched to coco 6 years ago was because of fungus gnats, I could slow them down fine but never completely killed them off until the switch. I've never had a single one since switching, I didn't even know it was possible in coco.

FYI if you cant find the bagged Canna Coco locally these bricks are just as good and way cheaper due to ease of shipping. I rehydrate mine with RO water, with CalMag and Rhizotonic added.
