Full metal jacket? The movie. That's what that gif was from. That's Animal saying 'better you then me'. The quote I reference is from that movie. Nothing do do with your balls.

Well that’s not exactly how it works.

And I missed most the fun here but just wanted to point out those are not fungus gnat. Likely root aphid. You in for a battle

Just cut off like 80% of the roots you'll be fine, clean everything hose em off back off and stick it in water while you clean your set up and put it all back together they'll be fine as long as your not in flower. If you got bugs on the roots you gotta get them all off and there really isn't another way besides starting over. Or cleaning the roots and system out.

Can't really tell from those pics but I'm gonna second the recommendation to make sure they're fungus gnats and not root aphids. This is a fungus gnat larvae, is this what's crawling all over the side of your pots?

As for the flying ones, it can be hard to tell them apart from example pics on the internet, but root aphids hold their wings up vertically when they're sitting still, like a sail. Fungus gnats lay their wings flat/horizontally when at rest.

And I've heard spinosad can have some nasty side-effects when the residual is combusted and inhaled. I think many health-conscious gardeners are recommending against using it on cannabis these days...

29 to for fiddy lmao I work for a finance company used to work at cannabis production facility in Canada. All these growers claiming they don't need a chiller where are all the ones with a chiller? Not on here asking about what there problem is most of them can figure it out because everything they need for their setup is available. The ones that do have a chiller don't have bad things to say about them you can go search it here though just the ones that can't afford them, the ones that buy them just to see if they work and no it even run a cycle just to pack it away for it to collect dust, and the ones that can't afford the power seem to be the ones that don't agree with it. Setups are not cheap but a chiller is one of the easiest things to build and you save a ton of money time and headaches keeping all factors of the environment in check at all times, some one should be able to ask what's the water temp of your res and you should be able to say exactly where it's at. It should all be logged and recorded along with all the environment and feeding schedule so problems like this are easier to track contain and control.

I see why you used to work for a cannabis company with your wealth of awful information you give daily.

I can tell you what my res temp is. The thing is, I don't care what it is. I don't have to, because it's not a concern.
