Mulch the top of the pots 2-3 inches of coco husks, keeps them beat back, as they struggle to get through that stuff.
Of course bottom wateringās also help a bunch.
I use that 10 gallon planter to hold my mulch, as it gets recycled over and over, and all I do is water rinse it down, allow it to drain off, and itās ready for action.
But that is just my way.

Poop transplants can even help depression.
Evidence suggest that monkeys fling poo with a ābe like meā intention, since our gut biome seems to dictate a considerable ammount of āhow we feelā
I donāt know what that says about marquis de sade, plumbers, or pornhub, but for now Iām appreciative of the poo you monkeys keep hand delivering. Apes too.
I kinda forgot about this thread, but then I got some gnats on some clones Iāve been neglecting because of life stuff, luckily they finally got roots, so now I have good airflow. I gave a weak ish bti drench last week, and when the soil was dry on top after that ~3 days later, I sprayed everything again.
I noticed a bunch of dead gnats in my dehumidifier bucket, so I keep a booger of mosquito dunk in there from now on too.
Sometimes when thereās an imbalance in the force, you can search if mr Dawson has any posts, it might not be the answer youāre looking for, but it will always help balance the force and make finding the answer less like a chore and more like an adventure.

Thank you for recommending these traps I also soaked with bt and now in control and I stopped losing seedlings.
These are great and kind of cute

Just wanted to say besides sticky traps, neem cake and seed is a great way to control them while also adding some nutritional benefit. Just need to mix into the medium
Not sure if anyoneās gonna read this, but back when I was managing greenhouses, I trialed just about every product labeled for fungus gnat control, including beneficial nematodes during my first year on the job. After consulting a local research entomologist, I found out fungus gnats pupate in lower pH media. I ended up spraying flowable lime over the soil surface to increase the pH. That pretty much eliminated them from the greenhouses over a 2 - 3 week period and those greenhouses didnāt have any outbreaks for the remaining 5 years I worked there.

And unfortunately most soil mixes contain organic amendments which break down and lower pH so itās a constant battle along with warmth and moisture. Good old-fashioned sticky traps and BT seem to be the only thing that work for meseem to be the only thing that work for me

I tried mosquito bits, h2o2 and even ipa spray over the surface of the pots but gnats persisted so i put the pots in bags and sealed gnats in/out
The ones that donāt get stuck in the moisture film and die get squished, Iāve been unable to find one gnat between 5 pots in the last week+ thatās been around a month now.
You can feed/water coco and soil from a saucer no problem.

Sticky traps and pred.mites are always up as IPM.
BT helps also really good. I water with it over a period of two weeks if there are problematic numbers of gnats.
What helped in long term against the gnats, was switching to fabric-pots. I also ad a 1" thick layer of fine sand on top of the earth. That seals the earth but keeps everything open for air/evaporation.

Yeah man Iāve seen quite a few people use sand to basically prevent them from moving aroundā¦ unfortunately used grow bags for many years and fungus gnat donāt discriminate against those containers either haha. Heavy organic materials just bring them in at least in my area with tons of animals and the outdoors around
