Ya man all I'm saying is I didn't have gnats before the quick fill bags came into my flower room. And they're pretty bad, when I go in there I constantly have them flying in my face and see them all over strong the bases of my plants. I'm at war right now lol.
Yes they can do some serious damage around the base of the stem. I finally knocked my infestation out with the Microbe-Lift BMC soil soaks once a week and lots of yellow stickies. I still treat the media once every week or two to prevent any future infestations. I had a hard time knocking mine out because of the pots i was using ( Radicle bags). I finally was able to get a good media soak by lowering the pot into a 5 gallon bucket to get a good media soak with the BMC.

I'm using stickies and h202 to knock out the larvae. It's working ok, but could be better. I just looked up the microbe lift, it's for mosquito control in aquariums? If it worked for you I'll give it a go, just want to make sure I found the right stuff.

I am and I think between those and 100% coco it's not helping my situation lol. This is the last go with them though, I'm switching up to floraflex nutes and a floraflex feed system. Probably keep the bm's for mother plants in soil though.
Yea i have mine packed away for a while. I would not hesitate to use them if i had to leave the garden for a few days. I just did not like being able to pull the plants out of the room for inspections once a week. I was thinking the erratic watering and the PH spike might have been what caused my nanner issue but i was wrong it was alexa's blue light flashing during the dark period when it would lose a internet connection. I had a entire crop get seeded because of that bitch. Oh well blessing in disguise as i am learning how to make edibles. :)

Yes Mr. Red recommend this product to me and it works well. Just make sure you wash your hands good after handling that product

Looking forward to seeing the Flora- Flex system at work.
I was going to use their micro drip system. But I think I'm going to build a system similar to heisens, simple and effective. Probably won't see the caps right away, I want to if algae forms without them. Really looking forward to how clean their dry nutes seem to be.

Mac i think i would have ditched the Mega crop too if i continued use in a reservoir. Works fine in DTW system though. Mac were you able to establish rep status with the Flora-Flex nutes?
