If you do end up seeing a fungus gnat at some point do not bother with things like bowls of apple cider vinegar.

I went nuclear yesterday, All substrates given a mist of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis as a larvacide. Does not seem to harm the sub but it will kill any larva. If you got a farm supply store around you they probably have some

Then I fogged my home with pyrethrin to kill any adults.
The only gnats I see are dead ones.

Now waiting 7 days to do it again.

Next year when the wet season hits I will be spraying the moist ground around the hose with BTI so they don't come back.

@ Trypt; Yep! Very sure, i do grow in a grow tent so definitely considering a thorough bleaching/cleaning. Have been wondering if stale air is an issue. I know it gets SOME air flow because the tops of the sub dries out, but that doesn't mean the O2/CO2 mixture could be out of whack.

@ Bones; Thank you for the heads up and i hope the BTI works out! I have been following your gnat drama, and man it has to be frustrating as all hell.

@ Aka; the APE culture maybe, but the SAT culture was 7 agar transfers from spores, cloned, then 4 more transfers. So that shouldn't be, but the cultures absolutely could have become intertwined with bacteria. My next run of agar is going to be black tea agar so i will see if that helps, since black tea is supposed to have antibacterial properties.

@ Camera; i saw a case of half gallons the other day, i should have nabbed them! But i thought nahhhh i have plenty of quarts.

I confess:

99.9% sure I am proposing Thursday. Its her bday and also with family not really getting together this year for thanksgiving it might just be us and the 3 kids. Nice intimate setting. We each had a daughter before getting together and they are 6 months apart. We just had our own little boy together back in June :heart:
My life is slowly weaving together something beautiful, a few years ago I was strung out on dope, away from my kid living in a car with 2 cats (kept the litter box in the trunk and the back seat folded down...fucking junkie)

today I have been employed for over 3 years at the same company, recently won custody of my daughter, signed a lease to move from a 2 bed apartment to a 4 bedroom house with a yard (and basement that has been claimed in the name of cult :mushroom2:) and have added another beautiful boy to this world I get to call my son.

you guys have been a part of my journey, and I thank you for that :chugbeer:

I'll be sure to update with the answer

:flowerchild:

I confess... I get triggered HARD when people don't cut off their stem butts or at least clean off the substrate before pictures, weighing, drying, or even storing. It's up there with not wiping your butt after a poo for me.

I’m telling ya.. after they’re dry, put them in a gallon ziplock and blow the bag up and then shake the hell out of it and knead all the loose shit to one corner.. the fruits come out clean.. acts like a rock tumbler.. some might have a little on them but it’s a lot easier than cleaning every fruit.  I can’t believe how much mush ppl leave on their sub.. it’s like the densest part of the fruit too

First congrats Camera that's awsome news :goodluck:


And now I confess. My myc work happens in sporadic powerful bursts. I procrastinate everything as much I can and then in the last minute I cram in 7 days of work into 2 sleepless nights, Idk that's just how the rythm goes these days, I'm kind of drifting effortlessly letting myself be carried away in any which direction but if I see an opportunity I can't miss then I'll make a heoroc effort to counter the current and I'll try to swim towards that goal until motivation finally dissipates but then I'll just try again or try to figure out how I can trick myself into accomplishing stuff without losing the focus/energy/motivation. Like my current success rate generally in life is 20-50% and that's when I really try to accomplish something. With all this said let it be known I'm not complaining in any complainy way, I'm just grateful that it isn't much worse. I'm sure I'm speaking for a few of us here, we all have our specific needs that need to be met and when those needs aren't met there are symptoms. This is general in life I believe, that's why it's important to get to the bottom of things and to learn to understand it/everything to resolve it instead of just treating the symptoms that araise from it.


Life is even more beautiful being depressed I shit you not guys, makes everything more special because it's worth remembering and savoring the good moments (now I sound like I'm an extreme case but that's really not the case at all) but I'll say "fuck winter" it doesn't make shit any better :lol: but the importantest thing and this message is about how fucking awsome life is and how many different things there are to discover daily :bongload:

As someone that tries to look at the good times and think "fuck man, I couldn't enjoy this if I have offed myself. I'm really glad I haven't done that yet" I totally get this.

Its just the bad times and when nothing is going your way that makes the prospect of ending it become more logical. That's what will probably get me eventually, I just hope it's not soon

It's hard for me to relate, I'm more of the kind 'everyone else knows I'm depressed but I dont' I swear my doctor tried to convince me I was depressed for 2 years and I laughed it off every time (sincerely) that's how I felt, only long time after did I begin to learn what depression could look like lol things make a little more sense now. I get asked often by my doctor if I'm thinking about checking out early but the thought never even struck me once in my life not even during the worst times so it's hard for me to understand what that's like, this week actually my good friend is on 24h watch in the hospital, but I trust him and he says it's not that serious he just needed to escape from home for a bit. But he has pulled the trigger before in his life only wasn't successful so I'm scared to death about this topic to even think about it, Im used to being there for friends as support in wet and dry but when it comes to this I feel so helpless and I just hope I never have to experience going through more of that (egoistic thinking of me but wth I got to learn to look after my self more I'm being told so) lol :bongload:
