Are you guys using BTI bits? They work very well to knock down fungus gnats. This will kill the larvae in the soil, and sticky traps on/around the soil to catch the adults. Done deal. Not saying this is the only way, but it works (and you can pick up everything at Home Depot for $10).

Really? Remind me again what they look like?? Just shittin' ya.

Surprised also given the Chitin. The Chitin has been in the soil for a while so safe to say you have some good colonization of Chitin-munchers. You have any BTI?

Have any neem?
Yeah. I did some recent damage with neem oil. Things are almost recovered. Lessons learned.

I have never used the BTI bits. I will be buying some tomorrow. It's not terrible by any means but it's messing up my pictures. :eyesmoke: Anything to watch out for with the BTI bits?

Tastes awful. Other than that, break it up on top. I soak mine overnight, then pour in. I also like predatory nematodes. Wish someone in Michigan grew and sold them.

Nothing that I've found. Fire away. You can either soak them in water, then apply ... or just top-dress, then lay down a layer of mulch/soil/ewc and then water. I use 2 tablespoons per 5 gallon container.

Thanks st0w. I will do exactly that. I really appreciate it. Here is a link where a gage tester is running some Grape Puff. It's pretty cool. He had the plants in the fridge in "stasis" then pulled them and decided to run them really small for a structure and flavor profile. I learn something new everyday. He grows really well and knows what he is doing. Should show you what to expect with yours.

Keep me in the loop. Patience goes a long way when dealing with such issues.

Hell yeah. BB is the real deal. I will always be a fan of BB and have their gear in my garden. I can't wait to see you run them.

Show me your favorite piece.

You are only allowed to show one. It doesn't have to be your wildest or newest. It has to be your favorite and you need to tell us why.

Here is my Jerome Baker from 2000. This is my favorite piece because I bought matching ones for my brother and best friends.

You are making me sad over my 10 year old Jerome baker camping bong that broke last year. I still have my heavy glass (same company)

Super Blue Dream x Harlequin Jo aka Freedom Baby. #13.

Medium height. Very frosty. Smells like citrus, lemons, hints of blueberries, and sweet tea. It's like a Lemon Snapple tea with a little berry in it. It really looks like top shelf flowers.
