There is a hack out there to make your own clear rez on the web or YouTube. Then you can run the cloner a couple weeks if it’s a larger one that runs cooler and ph maintained.

Do you have a list of ingredients for Clear Rez? I thought it was the same as UC Roots but it might be different. UC roots DIY is just pool shock. There was a guy on the web that went by Bill Farthing. He might be the owner of Mr Fulvic but regardless he had a site called open salts that listed many DIY solutions for expensive products you can make easily at home. I sometimes still use his homemade AN Hammerhead formula. Guy had some really cool DIY stuff.

I dont think that will kill gnats… that bacteria is to prevent other bacterial and fungal infections. That specific brand is probably the best bang for the buck though. Very high counts and much more concentrated than hydrogaurd

It works for me. I used to have problems with gnats but this cleared it up. I add it to all my new dirt.

No Anthem I don’t. I just remember seeing it so know it’s out there.

I tried lots of stuff to get rid of gnats, D.E, mosquito dunks for about a year or more, Einstein oil, lost coast plant therapy. None got rid of them, just slowed them down a bit.
I used a product called aquabac that's also bti. I just sprinkle anywhere I put dry amendments and it got rid of my fungus gnats for good.

Yes anytime and can use it as a preventative for the whole grow

Thank goodness lol

Mosquito bits FTW.

Had them bad on this grow, got them eradicated while still in veg. Takes about a week to see them all disappear.

Honestly IMO they should be used in any media as a preventative…. There is no downside. I know if i ever do coco, peat or soil again it should be part of the planning but knowing my arrogance towards growing stuff i will in all likelihood forgo this if i have to go out and make a purchase… yeah im that lazy lol

So I've used the mosquito bits for 2 weeks. they love the bits they're even landing in my 5gallon buckets and possibly drinking it for fun lmao

Try the nematodes they worked for me. I didn't have much luck with the bits either. I think mabey I had to much biology in the soil already for the bacteria in the bits to dominate.

Your sure these are fungus gnats and not root aphids? I’ve never had bt fail. Maybe it’s been stored improperly or is old? Just thinking out loud really. Good luck

 

[Rootsruler]

Not sure what it is but I barely get gnats in my grows. I hang sticky traps and usually ,by the end of the grow, there's more of my hair stuck on there than gnats.

I mix my soil with perlite that has diatomaceous earth in it and that seems to be keeping gnats down.
Ive never had more than a few gnats buzzing around tho cause i let my stuff dry out pretty well before watering again.

I’ll check when I get home . I’ve never seen a mature root aphid . They do look quite similar tho

Be glad you still have hair....

Easy way to distinguish is how they fly. Gnats buzz all around, root aphids fly in straight lines like they are on a mission to fuck things up

I save my traps and use them like a toupe'.........

Yea I can't tell to be honest i've looked at quite a few. They fly around very randomly and kinda fast.

Now I can tell my wife I’m related to root aphids. Thanks for that posting. I didn’t have an excuse till now, lol.

Try the aquabac like I mentioned above!!
It might work. It worked for me when the bits didn't.
