Are these fungus gnats?

PadawanWarrior said:

If they are gnats this might help. I have hypoaspis miles, rove beetles, and nematodes that take care of any gnats and a lot of other stuff we don't want. The hypoaspis miles work by themselves though for fungus gnats. Also all my predators came from EWC or vermicompost, but you can buy them separately. Oh, and get some sticky traps for those flying adults until you get things under control.

I heard it works well. The only advice on that is make sure to get mixture right. I learned the hard way was. I didn’t take my time to get better instructions next thing i know the 3 plants in flower i had, completely died. Due to my not having the right percentage. And had to much soap and that plum killed them. Learned alot the hard way and hope no-one else has to lesrn the hard way. The greater the passion. Helps to pass on what you’ve learned and still learning so others don’t harm there plants. thank you.

Bolt, if your wife enjoys research (and you're expanding your grow) studying up on root aphids will benefit your endeavors.
IMHO, its a subject that deserves proper attention.
Root aphids are becoming a cannabis plague. They have complex reproductive cycles and they're extremely hearty. They're also virus vectors and are said to be responsible for the current "dudding" epidemic seen in some cannabis varieties.
There are lots of ways to "control" them but full eradication is difficult and requires a multi system approach. Some claim to have had success with Imid, but more often than not, it just knocks them back. They're like the cockroach of the indoor cannabis world.

I'm overtired right now and I've gotta be up in a few hours but here's a few good starting points.

Phantom lockout, magnesium deficiency symptoms & WINGED ROOT APHIDS NOT fungus gnats!
(this is a long thread but worth reading. I read this a few years ago and it helped put me on the path to a diligent IPM)

Rice Root Aphid photos and management

I included these as well since you're growing more than cannabis and it expands on the subject with some interesting history

Phylloxera

Good luck with the nursery

Dawn dish soap killed all rootaphids I had. Shit was worse than you can imagine, they where crawling on walls, tables, trellis. Had pear brown and white root aphids from a farm in N Cali, never had them until then. Didn’t know what to do, bought thousands worth of items that didn’t work.
Spray w dawn dish soap, water w dawn dish soap, total game changer. Just don’t know
