Swak mate, had spider mites that developed an immunity to the insecticide I was using, they become so hard to get rid off :cuss:

Think obz was on the right track with the new medium I've been trying. Seems to attract a crap load of bugs. Gonna get that Margaret Roberts organic insecticide it's got garlic as a deterrent, canola oil for suffocation and pyrethrum for contact killing :-) everything in veg has perked up after the mosquito wise application. Gnat numbers are dropping, everything else is getting worse.

Hey guys just so you know the vectobac mosquito wise or margaret roberts biological mosquito insecticide, same thing, really does the trick at taking out fungus gnat larvae, and once they are gone, no more problem. The margaret roberts organic insecticide does well to capture the adults but leaves thick residue on the plant due to the canola oil.

Can you wash the reside of with some soup, and would it do something with the leaves that's bad for someone that wants to make some hash of it later?

It will rinse off with plain water. Plants left outside in the dew have no more residue whereas the plants that spend the night inside still have some. Shouldn't affect hash if you don't use it during flowering.
