Have you ever had the fungus gnats problem with the PRO MIX HP? I have had problems from time to time with the FFOF, but not with the FFHF. :facepunch::+1::sunglasses::v:

How does any soil not have fungus gnats, since they basically are just wished into being by damp organic matter. I can put a used coffee filter bag in a cereal bowl and I’ll have fungus gnats in a couple of days.

But my cannabis hasn’t had them for about 18 months, thanks to beneficial nematodes.

Can really depend on where the soil is stored and kept dry. If not kept inside, eggs will be in the soil. Wally World, home improvement places, all outside in the rain :cloud_with_rain:.
I just lost a battle with the suckers. Infested

If it’s hot and/or dry no fungus gnats. A proper dry back and no gnat issues so overwatering can lead to gnats.

Or too much insufficiently-decayed organic matter in the soil. Overwatering isn’t necessary for fungus gnats to thrive.

I sprinkle a few mosquito bits on top of my plants. I’ve only seen the little shits growing mushrooms before but am hoping to avoid them before they start with some good ol’ BTI that gets essentially watered into my pots. You can see the bits in this shot:

Overwatering definitely helps, but you are right any sustained moisture can be a great egg laying/hatching spot.

Good morning @OhNo555 and anyone else who stumbles upon this. Under severe thunderstorm warning till 6:40 today so we’ll see how that plays out. Looks like a band of weather from Mississippi to Maine all pushing through.

Is this good or bad thing. Do you need rain or is supposed to be bad possibly tornadoes?

Well it passed through huffing and puffing, some strong winds and a severe downpour for about 40 minutes and half hour later the sky opened up and the setting sun appeared. In the south in the summer you always need rain.

Check out a product called Gnatrol. I had great luck with it and looks like I may need to order a little.

I to use the mosquito dunk bits… problem is when they get wet they stop working in the soil… not sure I’m using them right either. lol. Gnatrol was about the only thing I found not to toxic that worked…

If you have to get up in the morning at least I’m waking up to a beautiful morning here! Happy Monday to everyone, hope you all have a blessed week. I’m contemplating a quick overnight fishing trip if I can get everything done I need to get done and the weather cooperates.
