Are you running those fabric pots? And even with the yellowing they still looking happy =} gnats suck, they y I quit using fox farms ocean forest. But if they in the soil a layer of black sand on top the soil will take care of them. Happy growing

Yeah the fabric pots seemed the shortest and they are flexable best pot for this I think. I bought some 3% hydrogen peroxide just in case it gets out of control. I think the fan maybe sucking up the adults, hard for the adults to fly around if the containers air supply gets vacuumed out like 70 times a min LOL. Will post a picture update today or tomor.

Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and then they already had some kind of soil i bought the clones in, and thats prolly where i got the little fungus gnats from. And feeding ph'd water for now, i kinda want them to absorb some of the nutes in the soil first, the FF line up for nutes.

What your seeing is shadows cast from the lights inside the box. As it is now, it will block out most light coming from the outside. That being said, I have it in a room with the window covered as best as i can for now. In the day time with out the grow box lights on. I cant see inside the box. Hard to even see with the top of the box off, so i use a little cfl light as a flash light when i take the top half off
