Can any one help me save my crop?

[bugarit]

Hi, sorry, me again, i'm pretty skint & without transport for a few days..
Is there anything that i may have around the home that i may use to feck them up in the mean time?
I have done the paper plate thing, got carnivourus plants in there too, i read about garlic plants repelling them?..
don't think i'll get them under a tap & not got a hose!...
I'm not sure how serious it is, have had a good look with my naked
eye & with a micrscope & still not seen any lavae or adults...
Now i'm all itchy! Brrrr!

Not sure how to get pictures up for you to see without leaving the sight! A couple of days ago i noticed these tiny black dots on a couple of leaves, it looks like something has eaten away the top layer of the Rating: 5

lol @ overrun by teenagers; we were for a bit there and then the admin decided to go 18+ and it has been a breath of fresh air ever since.

Well since you can't get to the shop, your best bet for the moment is to manually remove any of the tiny larvae that you find on the leaves. Carnivorous plants won't help, since the bugs really stay right there on the plant rather than flying all about the room.

As SOON as you can, try to get to the shop- bombs are pretty cheap compared to the hassle of dealing with home-brewed bug sprays, that often contain stuff like garlic that will make your buds taste filthy. Plus thrips can be tough to kill.

Brrr!
Had another look & found.. one little yellow/white thing..
I should've sulphur bombed the room before i started but
we had nowhere to go while it did it's buisness!

Yuck, i gotta shower, the thought of them is making me itch
like crazy!

Thanks again, you must get bored with the same old probs all
the time!

I found a spray today with Pyrethin. Everywhere I searched I could not find any bombs. Home Depot or Lowes has none nor does Ace Hardware. I have little gnats that are bothersome so I sprayed around the pots and on the soil. I also used a very little of the pond donuts that someone mentioned on the forum. I haven't sprayed the plants themselves and don't think I should. Looks like about 2 weeks to harvest. Would this hurt the plants if I lightly sprayed them if I can't erradicate those gnats?

Yeah, don't spray the plants that close to harvest. They look nice btw.
Bomb the room before you put your next crop in there. If there's no plants in the room, you can use pretty much any bomb from home dePOT.

Been looking on the net all day & the closest thing i can find to these bomb are something that says its 13% pyrethrin.. but it says not be used when plants are present?!,..
It' a pain, internet shoping is taking over but you don't know what your getting!, don't know
what else as in these bombs so i'm now waiting for the place to get back to me..
There're no grow shops for miles around us now, the last one got busted for blatantly dealing!

(wish i'd knownthey were dealing at the time!!!)
