Product Review

No matter where or what you grow, Sciarid Fly is a constant threat. It has threatened the viability of hydroponic growing all over the world. Until now, the only remedy has been toxic chemicals which are readily taken up by the plant. Not only does this threaten your own health, but it is also very tough on the plants, damaging the roots. As well, you can't use these chemicals as a preventative, only as a cure once you notice that the pest is attacking your crop. Don't take any risks with your crop. Use TANLIN throughout your growing cycle and protect your crop against Sciarid Fly forever. Fungus gnats, also known as Sciarid Fly, are one of the most crop devastating insect pest that any indoor grower is likely to encounter, equally as bad as spider mite. They can be even worse than spider mites because they do their damage well hidden amongst the roots. At least with spider mites, provided you are watching your crop, you can spot them as soon as they appear. However, the first sign Fungus Gnat is usually an abundance of small 3-5mm long flies on the surface of the root ball or medium in which the plants are growing and by this stage the plant will be suffering. Each Fungus Gnat female lays 200 eggs in warm conditions. The eggs hatch out into maggots which immediately start eating the plant's roots. These maggots, although they are small, are eating machines. They munch their way through the root system quicker than the plant can grow new roots. They damage the plant's ability to take up water and nutrients. The damage they cause also exposes the plant to infection to root diseases. In short, they can totally wreck the plant's root system without you being aware of what's going on amongst the roots.
