Fox Farm Ocean Forest

[Bobby]

Bought a bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest from Amazon recently for my winter indoor grow. Plants look healthy enough but i started noticing fungus gnats so I bought stickies from Amazon. I don't really want to just trap them. What do you guys do?
The bag i bought is loaded with them so I threw it out! I can't believe i didn't notice it right from the start.

I don't typically have gnats, but did recently.
I let soil dry on top and sprinkled diatomaceous earth completely covering surface. After a few days the gnat population was noticeably smaller. I watered again which ruins diatomaceous earth so I allowed to dry and after second application, didn't have gnats anymore.
Neem cake in soil mix helps kill the gnat larvae(nemetodes) too...which may be why i don't usually have gnats. I use living soil with neem meal incorporated.

Same here. I get coco in compressed bricks. Any bugs on my plants I brought them in with me.

Never tried it. Please let us know.
Did you try letting the soil dry at least an inch deep? Usually helps stifle reproduction.

Yup up to the point where my plants started looking starved for water

Don't bother with the mosquito pucks. Didn't work for me a bit.
