Hey Kelley. There are off the shelf bug sprays you can buy for gnats, but most people don't like to use them during flowering as that's going directly onto your smoke!
Lots of people use neem oil for gnats. Or you can try a homemade spray of water/garlic/chilli. It works and is totally organic.Comment

Kelly, one of the things about gnats, they like moist soil near the surface. So leaving the soil to actually get dried out on the surface cuts down on them. One of the advantages of soilless growing or flood tables, the surface of your medium stays dry and is far less prone to gnats because of that. That has been my most effective/organic method of ridding gnats, simply let the soil dry out and get caked and cracked. Even do a some bottom feeding, just setting the plant in a bucket of water to soak from the bottom up for one or two feedings, in order to allow that first 2 or 3 inches of soil to completely dry out. Not to worry, there are not really any roots in that first few inches anyway... I try to grow without any pesticides at all, the only things I use are Dawn dish soap in a spray bottle, 20 mule team borax as a ground treatment and Lavender essential oils. I am about to start growing marigold outdoors to cut down on some of the outdoor pests. THATS IT! Nothing toxic goes anywhere near my plants as I grow organic veggies for sale. I have used this for mites as well, the dish soap, mites live up on the top of the plant underside of the leaves so the soil dryout method has no effect on them. That's where the dawn dish soap gets sprayed, underside of the canopy leaves. Be careful and remember to rinse the leaves off completely after treating with soap. Spray on, wait 10 seconds, rinse off, early in the morning or late in the evening if outdoors, never under direct light for any foliar treatments.Comment
