I had an invasion about 2 weeks ago, i noticed alot of activity around the rims of my pots and on the surface of my soil.The heat wave had just kicked in and i was yet to rig the intake fan up ( i use an oil filled radiator during the winter).Then, the next night there seemed to be huge presence in the grow box and i began to trawl the forums.
Thats when i found out i was dealing with fungal gnats.
Im relitivly new to this so i popped into my local hydro shop and spoke to the guy there who reccomended GNAT OFF and some sticky fly traps.
Two feeds later they are practically non-existent, the sticky traps caught a bunch too, so im more than happy with this product.
The thing is, my plants seemed unaffected, all the gnats stayed at soil level, and never seemed interested in my plants, do these little fuckers harm your plants? i was just glad to turn the volume down as i can imagine they can grow in numbers very fast.
any other tips or products out there id like to hear about them.
peace.
