have it,apparently i wasn't using enough...it's going to be cold at night here so i'm hoping freezing will kill off the eggs...

at least it wasn't root aphids...and all the rootballs were robust and white
I had root aphids once. I alternated using BotaniGard 22WP and Azamax for a couple weeks and that got rid of them. I added nematodes too after that stuff just for a little extra. Still using the same soil.

i usually add the BAS BB powder to my teas just in case...and some soil critters are on the list for re-amending,probably via worm castings from the colorado company

Hi there, amazing growing my friend.
So 'build a soil' is a bit like 'pick and mix' shopping for organic matter? (might be a UK thing) And they all have fancy names? Edit - sorry if I sound stupid I'm not sure if it's a joke or not 😐

I got some fungus gnats right now in my grow. Used some nematodes and thought i got rid of um, then they came back when i went into flower. Thought nematodes would just last in the soil. Ima get some more and try again.

The nematodes completely killed my fungus gnats off. They are Steinernema feltiae. Would recommend. Build a soil has good products and soil with n p k values info and tests including heavy metal.

Plants look excellent

Looks fire! So how you like the organic build a soil compared to previous grow methods? Im on mh second organic soil run now, results are pretty good for me, using more top dressing and a few teas this round. Buds seem to express more it seems with organic for me in regards to look, think my dtw coco system had them looking a little better bag appeal wise but not by much.

i actually haven't smoked any yet,still working on trimming...but looks and smell wise it's fantastic weed...i just trimmed up that stuff for samples to see if i can push my price up a bit for it...
but over all it was much easier as far as watering and caring for the plants,the vigor was crazy,the plants really dug it
yeah,i see plenty of legal athena grown weed,looks fantastic,always sort of bland...like it's the everclear of bud,it's hella potent,but a nice glass of single malt scotch is sooooo much better

a little update...
so just about to have a space i can set the 2x4 fabric bed up in,i've gathered just about everything to re-amend the 3.0....some craft blend,dolomite lime,insect frass,rice hulls,pumice, and i'll be ordering worm castings from colorado that should have worms and nemitodes already,got the clover cover crop seed and box of rootwise charged barley straw...
the soil has been in a 55 gallon drum with lid sitting outside during the cold snap so i figure i'll use a 30 gallon barrel,shovel 5-10 gallons worth in that,add the stuff to it,seal the barrel,roll it around a bit to mix,dump in fabric bed...
also will be picking up a 3x3 fabric bed for another tent...got enough 1/2 and 1/2 hp pro mix/3.0 rootballs to add some compost to and craft blend and such to make some home brewed 3.0..
