Damn Gnats!?
    #14739147 - 07/09/11 12:48 AM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Should i be worried about the gnats ruining my substrate? There are over 60 maggots from these gnats in my bulk right now. Will they eat my mycelium? I looked for a while but couldnt find any info.

They are eating everything.  however unless they are only eating very little bits.  They are more of a PITA than substrate ruiners.  However, I have a very bad case and have had small substrates become severely invested and the mycelium was severely weakened and ended up dying. (when throwing away it was basically uncolonized dirt).

thats not going to kill them.

one female can lay more than 10 eggs.  Think about how many fat females you can see (times that by at least 10). then subtract that number with how many you killed.


you are slowing the problem not stopping it. not to mention they grow in your substrate (so they will have to destroy the substrate before being killed in the no-surface tension trap)

I have a thread that was posted a little before yours you should use the search function next time :smile:

refine you search to those involving trusted cultivators and by date.  the search function is very powerful if you can use it correctly.

the info I gave you was stuff I found using the (advanced) search. almost all of those posts were +6 months old
