Beginning of week: She seems to be doing quite well. Gave her a tea this morning. However, I am battling fungus gnats. Quite the infestation too. I have been watering in the AM and by noon, I sprinkle some Diatomaceous Earth over the medium and leave it till next AM. They just kinda exploded out of nowhere. As of right now, the floor of the tent looks like a battlefield. I even sprinkled a little on the floor of the tent. They dont seem as bad as they were about 3 or 4 days ago tho. I'm really hoping this does the trick. If not, I will more than likely have to order some nematodes. But the plant is growing perfectly. Not too much stretch, so far. Still expecting more. Mid week: I have been battling fungus gnats. I decided to apply some Diatomaceous Earth and only water from the bottom for a couple days. I also sprinkled a bunch on the floor of the tent. Checking the tent this morning, I didn't see 1 single fungus gnat that was moving. I think it worked. I am still going to apply some DE for another week or so, just to be sure. She is happy tho. Not stretching as I imagined, but that is perfectly fine with me. I'm happy with the way things are going with her. I will amend the soil one last time in about a week and half, maybe 3 more teas until harvest (every 14 days)

I'm trying to use Diatomaceous Earth to rid fungus gnats. It's working to an extent but there is still quite a few. I've been watering in the AM and applying DE by noon. Then leaving it till water next AM. How long till they are gone?

Hey there, Dealing with fungus gnats can be a real nuisance, but using Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a good step towards controlling them. It's great to hear that it's working to some extent, but it's not uncommon for it to take some time to completely eliminate the problem. Your approach of watering in the morning and applying DE by noon is a good strategy. DE works by dehydrating and ultimately killing the insects that come into contact with it, so it needs time to take effect. Typically, it may take a couple of weeks to see a significant reduction in the fungus gnat population, especially if they're already established in your grow space. Keep up with your current routine of watering and applying DE, and be patient. Over time, you should notice fewer and fewer fungus gnats as the population diminishes. In addition to DE, consider other methods to tackle the issue, such as improving drainage in your soil, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings, and using sticky traps to catch adult fungus gnats. With consistent effort and patience, you should be able to get the fungus gnat problem under control. Hang in there, and keep up the good work! Happy growing! 🌱
