OK, learning daily. Like I said, I have these pretty well sealed up and am watching carefully. If things aren looking better tomorrow this tub is gone, I do not want to risk my other tub.

I've had to switch to fruiting in fahtlocks until fall/winter time due to gnats.. once I did that, plus set traps and fly tape, they finally went away.. after these tubs are done, I'd recommend trying to fruit in Ziplocks at least until you get the gnats under control

Invest in tiny spiders. Then frogs for the spiders.

The teachers have retired. The flies did not seem to be in control and that tub was not producing much any way. After 18 hours of removing that tub I see no evidence of any more flies, but I am really hoping no eggs were laid in the room or the other tubs. I will be spraying the room with a pesticide while the other two tubs are soaking in another space.
I have also purchased my SAB bin, but have not yet modified it. Still need to purchase agar, though I need to do some research on which agar to purchase.
Wish me luck.

Eggs don't last more than a few days without humidity and the larvae would need a food source to mature into adults. Removing the food source for even a few days is usually enough to interrupt the life cycle.

Just make sure to spend extra attention on sink drains, I've noticed theyll retreat there if they dont have a tub to feed on anymore. Any drains with food scraps in them are prime real estate for those little fuckers.

SAB is complete!
I will also have all of my agar supplies by the end of this week, very excited for the next step in this journey. Also curious to see if the GT spores I got are viable after plating them. I pulled 57grams dry from the good tub (Cubensis Blue Meanie) not counting the 2 trays that were still on the dehydrator, pretty happy with that haul. Thinking those will be this weekends journey! I then soaked that tub and promptly got Trichoderma, pretty disappointed with that considering I had not gotten a print from the first flush. Not sure I am will keep trying to soak an entire tub, I see the videos of people that look like they have zero cleanliness and I cannot imaging how they get by like that. Maybe I am just doing it wrong or have bad water.
