I probably went overboard...but ive not saw any in a few weeks now.

I got some gnat off and added it to my water/feed at 1.5ml per litre. On the bottle it said 1ml p/l though.
Got a bunch of sticky fly traps and placed them on drainage trays and round the edges of top of pots.
I also sprayed raid fly killer round base of pots and base of stem soon as light came on and same again before a went to bed.
I also waterd less often to let soil dry out more.

My plants didnt like me for doing this lol...but av not got gnats now.

You will get gnat off in hydro shop or off ebay or something m8. Its only used to suffocate the larvae...if u dont get the flyers wiv fly spray then they will just lay more eggs in soil. So you will deffo need some fly spray and yellow sticky traps as well.
Stratigecly place traps about room...they are attracted to yellow allegedly.
Dont give the wee bastards a minutes rest. As they have a short life span but multiply like fuck.

Oh n murdock on here said he used a product called cannacure or something.

But saying all that....all u gotta do is kill flyers wiv fly spray before they lay eggs in soil.

Fly spray?? Like as in rid? Not trying to be rude but there is no,way i would spray my plant stem with fly spray. Once again,im not trying to be rude RFG but that cant be too good for the plant or smoker, some of the spray has to be absorbed by the stem, not to mention the fine mist that will land on the soil and be absorbed by the roots on the next watering.
