Just wondering if nematodes survive in the soil when watered with nutrients that I normally give my plants? Any help thanks.

Bummer alright, so I can't use the rest of my jungle juice 3 part ? Luckily I have 3 part all organic Humboldt nutrients left.

Are your nematodes "predatory"?

If so I haven't read anything about them having issues with chem vs organic.

They reproduce by infecting soil pests and using them as hosts.

[h=3]Beneficial Nematodes for Organic Pest Control[/h]Beneficial Nematodes (Steinernema Feltiae) are microscopic warriors that kill soil borne pests such as flea larvae, spidermites, fungus gnat, weevils, grubs, rootworms, cutworms, and many more. These Nematodes search, find, and kill pests living in the soil. They are extremely effective, and will reproduce and spread to provide you with long lasting organic pest control.
