This is take two of this diary. In the first one, I fungus gnats from hell in the lightmix I used as base soil.
Usually, gnats are easy to deal with, but these fuckers were something else. Neither neem nor nematodes affected them.
I also had a stunted plant, which the gnats might have caused.
In any case, I dumped the tiny plant and soil in a garbage bag and threw everything in a dumpster. Good riddance.
I cleaned the tent, bought a different light mix, and even used a different pot. I’m not giving the gnats a second chance!
I’m going with Mephisto - 4 Assed Monkey for this grow.

Bio Tabs are sponsoring me with their full range of products, and it will be fun to test it out.
I started by soaking the seed overnight and then putting it in a folded paper towel inside an old CD case, and finally placing the case on a heat mat.
I used an organic light mix from Terra Aquatica for my growing substrate and mixed in additional pumice to increase aeration.
I added Startrex and Silicium Flash to this base mix, as this will be a water-only grow, and finished off with four Bio Tabs.
The seed showed a tap root after 24 hours, and I transferred it into a solo cup, using a bit of Mycotrex at the bottom of the hole.
Another 24 hours later, she poked out of the soil.
We’re on the way!
