Re: New City Grower
I have been using a 2 Ft T-5 to Veg and 600 Watt HPS for flower. A friend gave me two 4 Ft T-8's. I have never used them and would like some feedback. Is it a waste of time?

Re: New City Grower
BAR here is a dupe of a question I'd like to throw at you guys, today was the 1st day I ever had "gnats flying in my face" never saw one until I bought guano & molasses, they dig it.
What are your thoughts on a layer of sand on top of coco, to deter my new found common black GNATS?
I heard they will go through holes on the bottom too, I'll deal with that next. Thanks, I hit LA w this minutes ago.
Hope the trespassing is allowed here! in the
may all gnats, moths and other plantdwellers

Re: New City Grower
For soil insects I use diatomaceous earth on top of the soil as a barrier, it cuts them as they move through it. I bought my diatomaceous earth from an animal feed store, do not use the type meant for pool filters. Mosquito dunks can also be used as a soil drench for fungus gnats. Sierra Natural Sciences also makes a soil drench called SNS-203 for fungus gnats and other soil insects.

Re: New City Grower
I agree I've used gnatrol, mosquito dunks, and mosquito bits, they all have the same thing I believe. I usually incorporate sticky traps for the fliers and D.E. for the ground. You got to get em fast and hard if you want to eradicate otherwise you can keep the population down with periodic use. It's easiest to also let you plants dry out as much as possible as rhe moisture keeps them in the soil. They feed on root matter usually when it dies as roots are always dying and growing so if you have conditions that are causing your roots to die off faster than normal it will be much harder to get rid of them. Over watering/poor drainage is the biggest cause of this. Covering the the top of your pot will really limit the amount of o2 your rootzone receives and is usually not recommended but I've heard alot of people do it. it's probably best for short periods of time.. hope this helps a little...GOOD LUCK!!

Re: New City Grower
Thanks BAR, RelaxedLes told me he likes that SNS to flush the soil. I asked him first, the other day, when I saw just one!
He is the bugmaster & he is (apparently) local.
I also like the idea of "cutting them" w diatomaceous earth.
to you & NotoriousBob!

There's a DIY somewhere on mildly rewiring & adding one lights ballasts to another to double or whatnot the lumens emitted on the one fixture. I tried to find it for you but I stink @ searches...end up reading thread after thread that interests me. As an example, I actually opened another window to look for it almost an hour ago lmfao.

Good Morning Reg
I noticed your light was still on.
I'm just starting my new day. It's going to be a busy weekend.
Hopefully get my SCROG box built. Also some lighting upgrades to do.
Happy weekend to you.

Re: New City Grower
Yeah, Came home from a Sports Bar after watching the Knicks get their nuts handed to them on a platter. Figured why not try to get these subbed threads down to zero. You're getting up & I haven't been to sleep.

I'm guilty of the same. Will have to find a few hours myself.
