Fungus Gnats

My mother plant sits in a 5 gal with 2 gals of nute solution. How many "mosquito donuts" should I use? This "go-nat" shit doesn't work very well on larvae.

just break one up and toss it in. it'll fuck up their digestive system in a few days and you'll notice them dying. repeat in a week or two if they're still breeding.

I never used that stuff. For the gnats I have I use granulated neem and toss it in my coco mix before potting. If they appear half way through the grow I just work some into the top of the coco and water

I add neem oil right to the water, about 2 tsp/gal a couple times a month. I've drained out thousands of larvae this way.

good shit, thanks people.

Anyone know how to deal with them in soil, other than sticky traps?

im in coco might have to give the neem a go

Give yourself an extra 4 inches of bark at the base. Just like you were lollipopping the plant. Then pour a 3.5 inch layer of sand on the surface of the soil. You can sterilyze the sand by baking it for little while. i cant remember how long. You can easily find it though through google.

GO TIGERS!...next year

Heres to hoping. Thought this was the one. Heard there dumping Ordonez and Guillen. That will free up some dough.

mosquito dunks dude. one application usually does it. two if theyre still breeding.

From what I hear, diametrcueas? earth is what you need. It's basically sea shells ground up and you cover the top layer of soil with it. It slices them when landing and they bleed to death. Havent tried, but it makes sense and its natural.

nematodes for the win, I particularly like the part about how they enter the mouth , respiratory system and most importantly the anus of the larvae! and they have teeth.

the mosquito dunks are a bacteria, BT, I forget the actual name but they don't seem to work too well in hydro.

the dunks will take awhile to work, basically the larvae eat the bacteria and get sick , the great part is the first thing it does to them is make them stop eating(your roots). the nematodes will enter the larvae and then secrete an enzyme which dissolves/digests the larvae .

or I hear you can do like the one dude says on the other thread, dry your shit out, this isn't as easy in hydro.
