The mosquito bits worked for me in one application.
Just soak them in water as per directions and use the solution when watering.
Your yellow traps are pretty full so you may need more than one dose.
The adults live 5-7 days and eggs take 5 days to hatch.
So two applications @ 7 days apart should knock them out.

The cider vinegar with dish soap will knock down the adult flyers faster than sticky traps. for some reason they love cider vinegar.

OldCro, so a bowl of apple cider vinegar with how much dish soap? I was paying attention but can't remember how much I paid. Thanks in advance.

I put that on with some orca and put de back on top once dry. 2 days later only a few bugs on the new traps.

Got my bug zapper running in the lung room.

Nematodes arrived today. Have not used them yet

Readily available in canada too. You care looking for a product that contains Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis. It treats a ton of root pest but unfortunately not root aphids. The larvae feed on the bacteria and it its toxic to the larvae. Its what most cities have switched to using as a larvicide for mosquitoes. Its very effective and safe for human pets and aquatic life. Call it an organic pesticide of sorts

I need a “very interesting “ like button
 
@Moe.Red its treats more than just these listed but this is from your guys epa…. Who i dont trust but the info is correct. It kills a lot of pests larvae. Thats why you use the stickies and BTI. To get adult population down and as @smoke said treat multiple times because there is no harm to anything in using even as a precaution start to finish.

I been down this rabbit hole deeply when my neighbor had them for my grows there.

Do you think bti will kill the nematodes ?
 
i wonder if making a "modified" version of a type of "aerogel" for a substrate.

Why are you using what looks like coco and perlite above you're fogger/ and or cloner?

Suppose it doesn't matter when it grows through

It's probably negligible but what about any loose sediment that drops through?

No concern?

They stay in those netcups and plug into the big system later. Coco to try to keep it somewhat sealed for the O2.
 
Soil growers I could use a hand here.

There are 2 kinds of soil here. This one is the problem royal gold mendo mix.

I saw this going downhill and attempted a light top dress with this

On only the plant in the front left. Made it worse.

I added mosquito bits just prior to this for gnats that seems like they came from the mendo mix.

Currently low ppfd in recovery mode. But I’m not sure what to do here.
 
IMO, start at the beginning and go down the checklist of what could be wrong from easiest to hardest.

Easiest? Watering practices. You're using two different soils. Why did you pick them and what is their makeup that lends to watering issues? More perlite? More Coco? More peat? I suspect if it's watering practices your soil is holding more water than the other.
 
Using RO to fully saturate. It was a week between last watering took forever to dry back.

I feel like this problem is in the roots as well, but I can't see them. I hope they are not getting chewed on by gnats.
