i have these strange gnats in my grow room. they are new, but i did notice little worms crawling around in dirt once they dissapeared these gnats came.
before growing research everything, talk to local growers who you are friends with. buy books such as "closet cultivator", just keep researching well into your first grow. you will have so much fun, each time you find a new leaf you will get so excited that you have created something beautiful...
no i live in a small farm town, we dont even have a store. but everyone in town is either a botanist or a farmer. so ask for botanical help while growing in woods or on farmland.
