I meant to update about the gnats.
Tomorrow is 2 weeks of treatment. Although i only began saturating the pots about 10 days ago with the infused mosquito dunk (BTi) water.
And in conjunction with the yellow sticky cards hung at the bottom of the plants right over the soil I had only 2 little annoying flyers visible last night during work in there.
Maybe 20 or 30 total gnats caught this week.
Last few weeks more than a few flyers emerged from the top of the pot and drain holes and were increasing in numbers each watering.
I will continue treatment and use the yellow sticky cards regularly from now on for control.
I understand it takes 30 days to be sure all gnats and eggs and larvae are gone.
I will use up the rest of the soil and keep treating till its gone and i see no gnats. Then buy soil at a trusted inside climate controlled source where i have had no problems.
Learned my lesson. How the bags of soil are stored is even more important than what brand of mix we use.
