Alright, Sis, get to backtracking!!! 1 part Peroxide/4 parts water, pour in pot/container until runoff, kills FG larvae ON CONTACT. Also, Neem Oil, Mosquito Bits, and/or Knock Out Gnats from gardenalive.com You may want to put a layer of sand around your plants to starve those buggers. Good luck, SS/BW…mister

Wasn’t trying to step on your toes @misterbee
Only stating what has worked for me. Actually my wife suggested using a dusting of DE because she said her mother used it on her regular house plants. I tried it. It worked for me. I HAVE heard the peroxide thing too.
Guess you aren’t old enough for the Flower Power thing……

Not at all, Bro!!! NEVER let that thought cross your mind. Heck, I’ve got a 25 Lb Bag of DE sitting in the Basement, enough to last f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I use it weekly in the Raised Beds. I didn’t mention ii 'cause her Gnats have already laid eggs. Everyone should use DE as a PM tool. SS/BW…mister

Any of you guys use UV T series bulbs for sanitation? 8w T5 365nm and 270nm for an hour every time I feel like it or need it. Supposed to radiate a room larger than mine in less time but I’d rather be safe than sorry with pests.
Also added a praying mantis baby yesterday that the kids found 
can’t find em now so must mean it’s busy

I have only used it during veg. I don’t know if I want to smoke spinosad
im curious about these lights. are they just used to radiate the room? used for supplemental uv lighing?
What this light do , what her purpose?
Specifically to radiate the room, penetrates tiny bugs like gnats, baby thrips, aphids, spider mites. Even supposed to help with mold and mildew although I keep a ridiculous amount of airflow going in my tiny room lol
