Yea man, one application killed everything in the medium and my plants noticeably improved in vigor. There are absolutely no negative effects to the plants. Three days after the application my clones have doubled in size.

It won't hurt your plants directly, but it is systemic, so the plant absorbs it and it ends up in your final product. The rule is harvest no less than 90 days after applying the Tree & Shrub, even at only 1/2 strength. Some say wait longer. I did mine, vegged for 30 days, and flowered for 60, bud tasted fine and no headache. As far as other chemicals that made it in there, who knows, most of it ended up as bubble hash anyway!

What do you think?

Haven't heard of Sulfur Burners helping with fungus gnats but if you do burn sulphur make sure it isn't within 2 weeks of any oil treatment (neem included) or you will burn your plants!

If you are dealing with fungus gnats use Gnatrol or some other source of BTI that will kill the larvae and some kind of bomb to eliminate the fliers. Apply Gnatrol in 5-10 day intervals 2-3 times to break their life cycle.

I'm probably still gonna get the sulphur burners, I've heard nightmares about PM from other guys around here. I haven't had a trace of PM near any of my stuff, but it sounds like a good preventative for it, especially with strains prone to PM, such as the purples.

I second what he said about not burning sulfur within two weeks of oil-based spray. I lost an entire crop that way.

are u guys finding them real high up on ur plant on leaves and whatnot,,,i never noticed fungus gnats going up high in the main bud before?....peace

Yes the fliers will be all over everywhere, stuck to buds all over the plants. They are laying eggs.

Look as closely at your gnat-like pest, then look at the picture on the first page of the thread. Up close, they look distinctly different than a fungus gnat.

If you've got this pest, you need to get on the problem immediately. Your plants can be saved, but left untreated yer pooch is screwed.

so the bottom pic is the root aphid? the one with the round body not the longer body?,,,if so thats exactly what i got they are all dead when i find them,,,do they lay eggs then die?,,,because i had mites so i did a DE treatmeant on the flowerroom now i am finding them dead, but i never noticed them before seeing them dead,,so i was wondering if the DE was killig them or that was thier life cycle,,,peace
