I was curious what the PH of the rainwater was and bingo...right at 6.2...wow!!

All of the ladies now are showing strong bud development and really look happy and healthy. Still having a problem with the damn fungus gnats, dont want to go away. I decided that before watering I would steam the top 2" of soil to kill off any living larvae and eggs as well as after watering gave the top of the soil a good spray of neem/tobacco/peppermint/habenero tea... Tomorrow I am going to crush up some mosquito dunks and dust the top of each of the pots.
If this doesn't work then I will probably go ppick up some azatrol and more yellow sticky cards and stay vigilant. I noticed that very few are hatching and there are not many larvae in the soil compared to the untreated soil last grow.

Here are the photo's for today.

    Man, Dont waste your money on those "Gnat Stix", a waste...
    Here is a home remedy I use and it works somewhat..
    Het a bottle like a small water bottle.
    put a couple of inches of Apple Cider Vinegar in it
    Make a small paper funnel and place in the top
    Just enough so it is funnel shapes...
    Give it a shake to get the smell going and they will come...
    You'll see there little dead bodies floating....
    I dont have any but I will be putting these in my grow room
    I am serios man.

    Those "chemicals" I wrote about above are made from cedar oil and flowers....
