How do i use mosquito dunks????????????????

Do i crush them up an put them in my rez????

yeaaaa thanx for ur help lol

what kind of system are you using?. I have rockwool and hydroton in net pots and I keep the water level at about the bottom of the the basket. I started out with 6 diffent clones I got at 3 different medical dispensaries. These were all barely rooted out in a small amount of soil. I knocked as much of the soil off as I could and transplanted them into rockwool. One of these plants had root aphids. The root aphids killed one of the 6 clones before I spotted them and were basically preventing the others from rooting out.

I have about 10 gallons in my DWC, and I just threw about 1/3 of one doughnut in there and let it float. I hand watered the plants a few times after the doughnut had been soaking for a few days just to get the bugs above the water level. I added another 1/3 about 1 week later and hand watered a few more times. It did not seem to have any impact on the water PH and it did not have any negative impact on the plants. Within about 2 days of the first mosquito dunk, there were thousands of dead and dying bugs that had crawled out of the hydro sytem and onto the floor where they were twiching in the throws of death. This made me very happy.

My DWC system is home-made out of one large "under-bed" style plastic storage container. It has an aquarium air pump and some bubble stones. It also has an aquarium water heater set on 60F. There is no pump and all the plants are in the same resevoir together.

You can crush them up or throw them in whole. I don't think it really matters. You'll probably have to treat them 2 or 3 times over several weeks to kill the bugs and the unhatched eggs.

Mosquito dunks claim to be organic and pet-safe and safe for use in planted aquariums or in goldfish ponds.

Here is a picture of my legal medical grow and a picture of the roots of my smallest plant (one that the aphids had nearly killed less than a month ago).

I use the dunks but not in hydro . They dont kill the adult gnats so you will still see them flying around . The dunks kill them in the larve stage.Give them some time but dont let up on them fuckers i hate fungus gnats.

yea i kno lil shitz tryin to f up a good thangg.....yea dunks seem to be workin

I have a 2.6 gallon res. I break a dunk in half, cut the end off of a nylon stocking and put it in there. You have to put it in something so it doesnt clog your pumps or drains.

Dunks contain BTI you can't use too much BTI it's a natural chemical that plants animals and people are immune to but when larval flies eat it, it makes them not hungry and they starve to death. Just toss one dunk in your tank you can use a half or whatever one dunk is usually supposed to last one month
