Hey all,
My veg side is looking a little rough. A few weeks ago i had a little run in with some insects. I'm not sure what they were...all the pictures i searched through led me to believe it was soil/fungus gnats but i'm not sure. I cleaned up any standing water in the medium by putting the plants in 6" net pots with rocks instead of just a huge tub of rocks. I also cleaned the res and tub with h202 and water. I know that wouldn't necessarily kill bugs, but it was worth a shot and it seemed to work.
Now a few weeks later and the plants look like this. I've searched high and low with a 10x magnifier and i couldn't find a single bug.
What is going on? Should i fog/bomb just to be safe?
thanks
Skeet
