Panama if I could give you anymore advice it would be to listen to what HeartlandHank is telling you. The guy walks the walk, so many people just talk and talk and talk. I learned that root aphid/fungus gnat test from a grower buddy in Seattle, he's also the guy that sold me on the Bayer tree and shrub. They also make a citrus and fruit but the tree and shrub is supposebly just a more concentrated version. When our circle first got root aphids I didn't even know the fuckers existed. I had once got a bad pallet of Happy Frog soil that sat outside of the shop before I picked it up and they were full of gnats. Wouldn't have been a problem but I was behind schedule and got halfway thru the pallet before I realized. Fucking sucks to start out with problems but that comes with the territory I guess. If you haven't contracted pests of some sort, disease of some sort, or severely fucked up you haven't been growing long enough. I once had a float stick in a large res inside of a house that was mostly a grow op. I had left in the morning and wasn't set to come back until late that evenin when I got a call from my neighbors claiming water was coming out the front door. That was a big fuck up. Remember that feeling like it was yesterday. Anyways I'm rambling about absolutely nothing to do with this thread so I'll shut the fuck up now...
