Just tonight when i was watering the plants that we have in the flowering room i noticied that one plant had alot of small fungus gnat buggers in the soil well hundereds after looking closer, the only thing is that the plant in question only has a 2weeks left at the most, is this plant going to infect the others in flowering room? or will i have to chop it down.

p.s going to get gnat killer from the local garden shop tommorrow, or is it going to be to late for the plant in question?



many thanks Tuscan

The chances are mate that they will already be in the others

Just get some sticky traps and put them all round the base of the plant and shake the plants a couple of times a day,you'll catch a lot of them

2 weeks to go i wouldnt bother doing anything,thats if the other plants have only got two weeks too

Sticky traps are good mate, i also put a UV fly killer in my room when i had them n it worked great i got rid of them in about 2-3 weeks a think think i must hav got rid of the adults before they could lay more eggs kind of breaking the life cycle.

Only thing with the UV fly killer is u can of course only hav them on when the lights are on i just ran it on a timer to match my light cycle.

the other plants have only gone into flower and dont show any signs of the wee buggers, i will try the sticky trap, but only going to be able to get the traps tomorrow, thanks for the fast answers..
