Found something interesting out. Found little tiny bugs, microscopic white bugs w long antenna, crawling outa my roots organic original mix! Wtf!! They were running the rim of the pots after filling them. New unopened bags. Well i get a scope out, make few calls, finally get an answer from roots. They tell me its this, that they add it to the compost.

Hypoaspis miles is a small light brown mite that lives in the top ½ in layer of soil. As a natural predator of fungus gnat pupae and of the snail parasite Riccardoella aspersa it is used by gardeners and snail breeders for biological pest control. wiki.

So now i know where the fungus gnat are coming from lol... no more roots for me! They are adding beneficial bugs because its loaded w bugs.. bugs bugs more bugs.. nope!

what mixes do you guys use? bug free..lol thanks all!

I started using coco coir, from a brick. Botanicare, I think. I pasteurize when I hydrate it and am having great success with that. No bugs.

I go to a Tractor Supply farm hardware store and buy rolls like a scroll of yellow sticky tape. When full of bugs , just rip it off and roll more out.

Smart I like it, We do not have tractor supply in our area but I'll keep my eye out for the rolls, I bought a tube of tanglefoot for few bucks then laminate heavy paper yellow on one side blue on other, cover with tanglefoot been experimenting with different patterns on paper but seems the gnats could care less it's more about the shade of blue/yellow...

Raindance is the one you hear lots about, then the copper. JMHO Im curious what @Amos Otis thought of the Copper Chem buzz since he's used it a minute or two.

Mine was very heady ... a daydreamer and forget what I was gonna do kinda buzz, not a lot of body. I only got the one girl and four Benjamins, so I can only speak to the one plant. I wouldn't call it a 'flagship' buzz, but it's very worthwhile. A good amigo takes golf vacations in SEptember, and he successfully talked me into letting him have most of it, so I'm already out. But a clone is about a month from finished, and she'll yield a lot, and get a decent cure. I'll get back to you 'round the holidays. :)
