Try 0.5ml a liter every 2 weeks. They say to use 1 ml+ when fertigating but for threating infested water and swamps they use about 0.2 to 0.4 ml a sq meter, even when sprayed from airplane. And each mg of the stuff supposed to have 1300 kill strenght. I suspect it will work even at lower dosages, and you might try for that once you start controlling them, slow and steady drop the dose till you see them, and when you do see any of them, go back to the dose used 2 weeks before.
Be aware that they say flooding is the way to use it, and that other fertigation techniques might result in uneven distribution of the stuff in the media. Which I personally think is bs since they will go where the moisture is, and also roots tend to be where water is given, as well. I think they just want to say better spray it or flood it so you know whole area is treated, than have a few bad emitters or sprinklers leave some area untreated. In your case, you'd have dead plants if water would not reach them, so it shouldn't get to be a problem.

Btw spraying just the tops and bottoms of pots would work same and use less, if you ever do sprays like that and want to use less of this. But it might not make sense to add the work, unless it fits with other treatments/sprays you do.
Also, forgot to say that all insects have faster life cycles in hot periods, so you might find the need to spray like every 10 days instead of 14 when you are nearing 30C or over.

Does anyone calibrate their EC meter.. I never have. Found out a few weeks back I should. Got a new meter and readings were out 200ppm +/-.. and even weirder giving altogether different readings again when testing runoff..

Yo @exploziv @Itsmychoice I have been at the gnats with the vectobac.. not before they sucked the roots clean off 2 Bubba D seed plants. I had been seeing odd deficiencies too, probably explains it. I've given about 3 drenches this week. From 1-3ml/L and hand squishing adults + sticky traps.. 💀
Thank you dudes mucho

Yo @unnamedmike this mother tent is single 240w led board in 1m x 1m. I want to trial some clone/veg periods, if things go well I could faze out a MH lamp.. or two.

Mango Sapphire x SGSB let's go #1 2 3 4 51

Bottom right is the only female from the @DoubleTripleOG seeds. I never kept a male but I was very nearly going to, selecting leaf shape most similar to Sour G. The female seedplant was a bit finicky and showed deficiency but cloned fine

Dtog#2 in the middle and Mango Sapphires x #1 #5. These are seed plants that sexed under the canopy so they got flower nutes looking pepped up on goofballs.
Topped them and put them back to the nursery after sexing, half expected them to spaz out but they look OK..

Looking good as usual @............. :tiphat: :joint:

Which Gorilla Bubble did you run? I have a few packs of each version from @Tonygreen and can't wait to go through em. :tiphat:

Yo @asher1er . The GB were a mix pack medley.. I just realised the other day I still have 2 or 3 beans remaining.. felt like Xmas came early. Good luck!

Thanks @............. Im pretty sure i got one of them mixed packs too.

If you still having issue with gnats see if you can get your hands on Gnat Knix its made by Growstone.
Put a layer of it on the top of the cups and it should help out. It seems that BTI is hit or miss these days. I like using BMC from microbe-lift every soo often too.

That's the company that recycled glass beer bottles into grow stones? Are they still around? I may have my names mixed up, but I thought they went out of business.

That is them and they did go out of business unfortunately. You can still find gnat Knix here and there online. Granted its old stock but its a product that does not go bad, A lot of people swear DE and Gnat Knix is the same stuff but it definitely isn't. Gnat Knix still works when watered :tiphat:
