Wait you DO like or DONT like? LolI personally like the ladybugs because they poop all over the plant...

lol that's what I figured. Ok so I should definitely be careful about how many I use. Do you have experience with them indoors??OOPS!
I just ordered 1500 ladybugs and 10 million nematodes to fuck these gnats up.... battle on the ground level
The best response I can offer is I have seen some studies, none of which I can vet or verify as valid indicate that the use of fungicides, pesticides or herbicides do Not affect soil microbial populations. However some studies do show that the use of some of these agents can affect VA Mychorrizae networks.I definitely agree prevention>maintenance lol and that's what I was going for.... oh well.
So spinsoad is cool to drench with in veg?? Next time I'll definitely give mine a hit before I flip next time regardless just to be safe. How does spinosad affect the microbes?
You think that's bad...lol...my girlfriend was in the grow room making sure her cat wasn't in there because I was high as fuck and left the door open. I heard her in there start groaning. "Baby what the hell are you doing..." her "I was pulling one of these damn sticky traps out of my hair!" Priceless. She laughed thank God. They don't really stick to hair too well unless you straight just mushed one into your hair. It really is something you have to do. You want to break the cycle of 3 to 4 generations. The sticky traps.i actually set them so they're at a 45 degree angle. The side facing more down towards the soil gets covered. Try to catch them as soon as they hit adult hood and come out to explore and the first thing they find a a certain death. Im just telling you the measures I had to take. Changed traps 3 different times and by the 4th I never saw 1 gnat on it.Ha awsome yes I will notice a huge decline in pest within a few days I havnt seen anything beside lady bugs and a few spiders in my garden ever since I added my lady bugs over a month ago. The only drawback is it's a lil weird having all those bugs crawling on you while your working in the garden lol
Unfortunately you can't just have faith that people are looking to find the truth and share it.

Here is a link for 1 of the studies................. My issue with studies is this, you have to be able to source and figure out the money trail and what interests are at work with any funded studies. I mean I am less likely to believe any study results that claim a chemical doesnt harm soil microbes if the funder of the study is say Monsanto for instance.

Atomizer is a mist style pump sprayer. Now I have a small secret look at this....Unfortunately you can't just have faith that people are looking to find the truth and share it. Oh well we're getting there that's why we have this forum... to get TO the real answers and not just be given them.
That is my white plastic lol. Its the floor. Here's what I have found to be a contact killer and it's all organic. I killed a damn millipede with it.What is the white part??
That is a friggn ingenious idea man. Very nice. The only downside I can see is it is a well known fact that as this industry grew we are seeing more and more infestations coming right out of the very bulk soil folks are buying. Damn eggs and critters already in the bag waiting to be let loose and create havoc in your gardens.I simply covered my lemon tree with paint strainer bags from Home Depot. If they can't get in to lay eggs problem solved.
Do you have any companion crops growing? Would the strainer prevent cover crops from growing?I simply covered my lemon tree with paint strainer bags from Home Depot. If they can't get in to lay eggs problem solved.
And if you really want to step up your game when your seasoning your biology outdoors with the strainer bags use a white clover or any decent cover crop and really keep that soil biology humming.I generally only grow one plant per pot. The strainer bags also work well for starting living soil outdoors in pots. Placing my pots Outdoors the prior season with good compost and watering lightly will grow biological media the strainer baskets will keep bugs from laying eggs in there.
