Are you feeding with nutrients yet or still just the soil? Because too much peroxide will kill the beneficial bacteria in soil. CL🍀

I diluted 2 tea spoons on peroxide in half a liter of water, Wednesday week 4 started and I did a very low dose to test the waters I did a bit of bio bloom and bio grow I think the plant was slightly overwhelmed but it still grew I think I’m gonna think if I should do it next week again or not

So are you saying that if I do the peroxide it will clear nutrients from the soil and I should do them? Because if that’s true it’s perfect then as I will tomorrow water with peroxide and next week give nutrients and the plant won’t be overwhelmed by the pre existing ones on the soil

It won’t remove the nutrients from the soil but the amounts you’re adding it should be fine as far as bacteria/ fungus goes. Just don’t use too much peroxide. CL🍀

If you can find a product with Bti it works best. Its the same ingredient as what is in the dunks. The gnats are a common problem.
"Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), which have an effect on the larvae of various mosquito species. While the larvae are feeding, the active ingredients get into the intestines and prevent nutrient absorption there. Bti acts specifically on mosquito larvae (sciarid gnats and related species). Other organisms in the soil or water are not harmed."

I'm glad your solution is working, but I don't think those are fungus gnats. My main reason being that you have leaf damage. (Fungus gnats eat fungus, ie, that stuff growing in your soil - or they eat fine roots as larvae, they don't eat leaves). Secondly, they are pretty big, fungus gnats are small.

My eyes must be getting bad because I didn’t see the leaf damage you were talking about? CL🍀

@johnlx , what stinker says about the bacteria. There are products containing Bt which is meant for caterpillars on leaves of many vegetables but will not work on insect larvae in water or below the soil surface. Look for the products that contain Bti which is a related bacteria but will work on the larvae in the soil or in water.

The product can be a small object that will float on the water while it is releasing the bacteria over several days. Or it can be loose particles that have been impregnated with the Bti and can be put in water or sprinkled on the surface of the soil.

I have seen both versions in gardening stores and in many hardware stores. Most likely it will be available in your country and easy to find once you get used to seeing what it looks like.
