Hello all.
I'm seeking advice in gnat prevention. I made the mistake of forgetting to dispose of old soilless mix in a pot and as a result gnats took over in that pot and eventually found their way into the grow tent. When I realized what I've done it was immediately removed but now the infestation is getting to a point where I think I may lose my crop. Harvest is in two weeks and I think the damage is done because the buds are not getting any bigger. What surprised me was how long that particular pot held moisture because it was removed a month ago. So for the next grow what recommendations can you provide? I've read they enter the soilless mix via the drains in the pot and make their way upward. I was thinking of maybe hot glueing some silkscreen on the drains if that'd help prevent them from getting a foot hold. But what about the upper layer? I aim my fans at the top to dry it out but is that enough? Any advice from people that have dealt with them would be great.
