Brain Damage Growers Choice

I am posting a day early. It’s because these Air Pots are fugus gnat motels. I opened the tent yesterday and there were baby gnats everywhere I didn’t even think to prepare for them because I have not had gnats in my last 5 grows now a full infestation I don’t over water (learned the hard way) and actually I probably underwater because of my frustration with gnats in the past. They sent big flat folded mesh with them and didn’t even think to line the pot with them. All mistakes are welcome because it only strengthens my growing knowledge. I switched to Air Pots from a recommendation from a friend and over a couple days a gnat bloom I would be pissed if I paid for them they are not cheap. My on the fly solution was I made a: Mosquito bits tea and soaked the soil with it. Filled every hole with DE (diatomaceous earth) yes every hole, maybe overkill but better safe than sorry, with a Harris Diatomaceous Earth Powder Duster I got off Amazon 3 years ago. Got neem oil & yellow bug sticky pads on the way. I am not watering till almost dry and pots are very light to pick up then when oil & traps arrive I will flush in the bathtub and use pads, neem & DE for gnat control. Other than the gnat outbreak, snapping a couple of fan leafs and a broken and fixed branch it’s going great The branch I taped last week is stronger than than the others. I Check the plant every day and make LST adjustments on the fly. I like growing a few different plants in a tent during winter to see how much production I can force and that tells me what strain I am planting outside for my summer Photos. Happy growing.
