Pandy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi Guys My plant is 7 weeks into flower and I've just noticed a gnat infestation,think they have been there for a while. Will it be advisable to do a neem oil or peroxide soil drench this late into flower? I still have about about 2 weeks till harvest as buds aren't looking that ready. Thanks.

420SA Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I would suggest a spray of neem on top of the soil or perhaps even a layer of diatomaceous earth. Other than that keep the top layer dry for the last two weeks and you shouldnt have anything to worry about. Stick a whole bunch of sticky traps in the pot too.

Pandy Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Iv Been doing the mild neem spray on the top of the soil it helps for the day but when I check up the next morning there are still one or two gnats flying about. I shall continue with the spray. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourStonedBuddy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 diatomaceous earth has helped me slow the gnats down. If i could let the coco dry out it would possibly get rid of them, but afraid to do that in flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
