 Ravaged by fungus gnats???I started noticing gnats a while ago but didn't worry about them too much as it didn't look like they were actually damaging my plants. I was getting a lot of stunted growth but didn't connect the two. After a while the gnats got thicker and my plants started turning yellow, drying up and dying. Long story short, I read up a little on the gnats and went to war with them. First of all I keep two rooms. I've got one room for vegetative growth with a couple of t5s and a flowering room with some bigger lights and better fans. I've seen a few gnats in the flowering room but most of them have been in the vegetative room. So after a little research i put out a bunch of sticky traps and I watered all the plant in the v room with a solution of 4 parts water and one part hydrogen peroxide while I ordered and waited for nematodes and mosquito dunks. Three or four days later I put 5 million nematodes in about 7 gallons of water and watered everything in both rooms. I repeated that about 3 days later. In another 3 days I still wasn't seeing any progress so I crumbled up about a half dozen mosquito dunks and spread the dust over the soil in all the pots. I put a couple more dunks in a five gallon bucket and have been watering the plants from that ever since. About 3 days after that (2 or 3 days ago) I began noticing a big drop off in the number of gnats. Now I'm only seeing one or two when I water the plants. When I started out I had nearly 150 plants ranging from a week to probably two and a half months old in the v room. I've probably lost two thirds of them and the ones that are left range from healthy to very sick looking. They still seem to be dying off albeit at a much slower pace. I'm wondering if this is all due to the gnats or am I dealing with another problem in addition to the gnats? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I will put up a couple pics. Thanx.
