Yeah, I'm going to effectively try a lot of strains now that I have some killer systems in place! Nice to see you swing through Yooper :aok:
trimmed... I also changed out my Mosquito Bits. Not entirely sure if they are helping with the larva, but we'll do this for a good while and see what happens.
And there it is... 10 minutes of work and a fully refreshed res with about 40 gal of nute soup.
Old readings before change:
PH - 6.1
PPM - 575 (started at 960 2 weeks prior)
New readings after change:
PH - 5.7
PPM - 1050

Cheers Sopappy :aok:
Summit Mosquito Bits is a highly selective microbial insecticide (BTI) effective against mosquitoes in a variety of habitats. Kills Mosquito larvae that transmit West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, Malaria, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. When spread uniformly over the surface of containerized water the BITS release a biological mosquito larvicide at the water's surface. This larvicide gradually settles in the water where it is eaten by mosquito larvae growing there. Summit Mosquito Bits may be used in all types of containerized standing water sites where mosquito larvae grow. The Bits will give a quick kill within 24 hours. For more residual long-term control please consider the use of Summit Mosquito Dunks after applying Summit Mosquito Bits. Summit Mosquito Bits can be applied to areas that contain aquatic life, fish and plants. Can be applied to areas used by or in contact with humans, animals, horses, livestock, pets, birds or wildlife. Apply to standing water found near the house such as water gardens, tree holes, stock tanks, animal watering troughs, rain barrels, bird baths, roof gutters, etc. May also be used to control Fungus Gnats. Sprinkle or spread the granules over the soil until the area is covered. Water will release the BTI into the soil where the larvae of the Fungus Gnats will feed on it and die. Repeat this process for a three week period for control. If Fungus Gnats reappear, repeat process for another three week period.
I have gnats.. I don't want gnats anymore hah
Doc, what is your flow path? I see the buckets connected at the bottom but no drip lines...??? RE THE GNATS: Take some panda paper, cut circles the size of your pots, a slit to the center where you make a hole bigger than the stem. Cover the medium. Also, every time I used my moisture probe, I would run it around the rim and rake the soil. I think it helped.
I am still calling the small 1/2" clay balls my favourite
