Next grow try simplifying the process. Instead of Happy Frog, use Kellogg's Raised Bed soil (H. Depot), and for nutes, go with non-organic Jack's, veg, bloom, and finisher @ half-strength for the entire grow (1 tsp/gal H2o). Never need to pH ever. If the garden hose water won't kill you when you drink it, then Jack's will do it's own pH' ing if it needs it.
Pest control:
•
EcoVia 3-In-One, no need for PPE protection, not even a mask. Organic as all git out.
Kills everything that
walks, crawls or fly's or fungate's. Use
3-N-1 for veg through 2nd week of flower.
• Use
Kontos as a drench before you upcan to 1-gal plastic. Systemic.
Kontos will prepare the upcan soil by killing everything plus nematodes.
• In flower, use one app. of
TetraSan (spray) to kill everything for
4-5 weeks (that's
4-5 weeks you don't have to babysit your plants)
PPE suit and mask, etc. required.
• In flower,
alternate the TetraSan at the end of the 4th week, by drenching with Kontos, twice, to ensure soil saturation.
Note: Whenever you use TetraSan or BT, or Spinodad, or MilStop, they can always be combined and sprayed together since they're water-based.
• In flower, use
TetraSan after the end of the 4th additional week of
Kontos drench.
• In
finish flower, use
Kontos again for the
final 4-5 weeks of finish.
Use nothing else. No Silica, No nothing, amendment-wise.

The chems will cost about $500. or less, but you have several seasons worth of poison, so do the division math. Beats wasting man-hours chasing bugs, imo.
