I won't buy Root's products anymore for indoor growing, I like the product itself, but the last 3 times i used it i got gnats, and I'm fairly confident they came in the soil. All 3 purchases were through different retailers, so I know it wasn't bad storage by just one retailer, maybe whoever the wholesaler is isn't storing it correctly and then distributing to my area, IDK? I do know that I've mentioned the gnat problem twice to 2 different grow shops, and both times they asked if i was running Roots..I never mentioned the brand..so.take that for what it's worth.
Aurora (roots) doesn't cook their soil and in my aspect its much better. I compost with it tho. They have Oregon gnat larva but if you're a true organic grower gnats shouldn't be a problem. But roots 100% hands down.

I used sticky traps, sand on the surface of the soil and Diatomaceous earth. but I was never able to completely eliminate them. I'm going full hydro on anything indoors..no more dirt will go into my new sealed, environmentally controlled room.
