If I see any fungus gnats, I top the soil off with 2 inches of pea rock then pour sand on top of that to fill the small voids between the pea rocks. Bottom water for 2 weeks and done. The soil bacteria can still grow but the gnat eggs are killed.So you are going back to soil for the whole run?
You probably know this, but "local garden center compost" is often not specified for "indoor" plants, and can come with bugs. I learned that the hard way. I've found when it comes right down to it Azamax in a watering/soil drench will put a fast end to gnats and aphids, but I don't know what it does to the other beneficial life in the soil. Some people don't concern themselves with that, but I'm a big fan of mycorrhizae. If you do start to see the flying pests around, what do you use?
The plants look as healthy as they can be. Nice!So some more pics for your viewing pleasure....
Getting bushy up in here lol

I am wondering if one of them blue cheese is gonna a be a boy. If it is I'm not overly worried. Will leave it in there to make some seeds as I love a free seed.
I'm thinking of changing the way I grow to do 12/12 from seed. I can squeeze 8 plants into my tent so thinking of a trying with 2 then adding 2 2 weeks later and another 2 2 weeks weeks after and so on. So I have a constant harvest instead of waiting for months in between. But will see if it's feasible.
I haven't even fed them yet. This is homebase value compost (2 x 65ltr bags for £6) which I microwaved so the fact they are as healthy as they are I'm shocked, I will be feeding the 2 kush this week and the cheeses over the weekend probably as I don't wanna starve themThe plants look as healthy as they can be. Nice!
Perpetual grows are definitely alluring, someday I'd like to go that route. I have some giant gaps in my knowledge, I really don't understand how "auto" seeds work, or how "12/12 from seed" plays out. I'll do some searches, see if I can find an overview. Even with the whole thing as a grey area in my knowledge, it does sound intriguing.
It's these veros man they are awesome. Never seen growth like this using so little light.damn! =) Good work going on there!
I'm already starting to realise that. I usually stick an ona block in my extraction which covers most of the smell.Just fo an insight... Kush will stink your house out. Make sure your carbon filter works well, particularly when you get closer to flower and through flower.
And when I say stink I mean stink!
ive had the smells get so strong that i started to get a sore throat and itchy eyes...gotta get that carbon scrubber!I'm already starting to realise that. I usually stthe ick an ona block in my extraction which covers most of the smell.
