What ratio of each to make the mix mrs b and how many dishes would you suggest in the tent?

Do you just place them on the floor in between the pots or in the pots?

Thanks

There was no ratio hun I glugged in some wash up liquid and a good couple of glugs of apple cider vinegar and gave it a stir the more the merrier I reckon , it can’t hurt having a couple of little dishes around the tent

@Tom1974
The thing is, you actually have to fight fungus gnats effectively. The yellow sticky traps actually only help to catch the last foothills or to check how the population is.
The main problem is in the soil, the larvae themselves. They are said to feed on the plant roots. However, there are over 2500 species of fungus gnats and only about every fourth species feeds on the roots. If you have one, it's not so good. If not, the flies are merely a cosmetic issue, albeit very annoying.

So I got mine under control with SF-Nematodes :)
