Slugums Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Its been a while since I posted - hope all is very well with folk! Wee bit of advice please! I'm around 2wks, maybe 3, from harvesting a girlscout cookie plant - sensi seeds... Its been growing just fine in coco with good stable temps (until two nights ago, when it dipped to 18c!) Today, when feeding I noticed a ton of fungus gnat larvae in the run-off!! No sign of damage on the plant as yet - as it s the first time I've seen them, I reckon, at best, I have about 10 - 14 days to kill them, or pull the GSC early! So, I know I can't spray neem on the plant at this stage, but, it is cool to nuke the fuckers with neem oil by passing it through the coco at this stage? Cheers!

Never had to use neem before, so I'm happy to leave that lesson for another time! Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yeah literally ignore them , easiest way to deal with them that close to chop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 You could maybe let the pots get a wee bit dryer than normal for before watering a few times, should help keep the numbers down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, but with coco, there isn't too much scope for that! Still, I let them dry up after they showed up in a cactus a few years back! I did the opposite tonight - I put extra liquid with feed and drained the drip trays fast, soaking up the larvae as they were flushed into the trays... Its a small, hand fed grow, so it has that flexibility. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'd still get some yellow sticky pads out so more of em stick to them rather than your buds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping she'll be done before they pop out of the coco, but I'll pop a few in anyway - much nicer than the thought of smoking fungus gnats glued to ma'buds!!
