This is from one of the first sites that popped up.
Live Beneficial Nematodes
Beneficial Nematodes are microscopic warriors. Our Nematodes will eat soil boring pests in your garden such as flea larvae, cutworms, weevils, whitegrubs, moth larvae, rootworms, borers, and much much more. Beneficial Nematodes do not harm other beneficial insects, worms, plants, pets, or people. They are very effective, and easy to use.
Storage
These Beneficial Nematodes can be stored in a refrigerator at 38F (4C) for at least 20 months with full potency. After it is applied to the soil, these Nematodes can survive two summers and one winter with temperatures below 0F (-17C).
Use
1 pint contains 7 million nematodes.
For use in soil: mix nematodes with soil, or peat moss, etc. For use on boring insects: dilute with water.
For pests spending all or part of their life in, or on soil, apply Nematodes as a mulch, as a top dressing, in seed furrows, or in transplant holes at planting. No expensive equipment needed.
For lawn insects use as a topdressing, then water in. Use 1 pint to spot treat 370 sq. ft. infested with white grubs.
For boring insects mix Nematodes with water, pour or spray the mixture.
Sprayers are also suitable to use. These Nematodes will hunt down and kill pests in their burrows as no chemical can.
These Nematodes are compatible with botanical and biological insecticides and can be applied during the fall, spring, or summer, any time soil is not frozen. They work on overwintering pest insects while they are in soil, bark, or ground litter.
Indoors: use these Nematodes to fight pests like black vine weevils, fungus gnats and their larvae on houseplants or hot house vegetables. Spread it on top of the soil, or use it in potting soil.

Whoda... your journal is AWESOME man!
I read through the whole thing and its been by far the most visualy jaw dropping to say the least. Theres alot of info and great grows on this site but after seeing yours it makes most of the others look kinda amateur... no offence to the others.
Im kinda new to this so im obsorbing info like a sponge right now. I was hoping you could help me with some info that im pretty sure you've posted already just cant find it. Could you give me some details on your wet system you have there.(not even sure the name of it) lol? How high the water level is in the bucket and What nuts you use again and how often you replace them etc. Its an amazing job you've done with it and im thinking of trying it myself thanks to you.
Also im curious if you run your CO2 when the lights are off and if there is any advantage to it?
Keep up the great work man!
Thanks for the kind words SN.
I dont run co2 at night.
Its an rdwc system.
The water level is about 2 inches up into the bottome of the net pot.
Used rubber grommets for all fittings.
Bottom infeed is 1/2"
Drain set to the level described abouve^
three 1" drains on each res. 2 res' by the way. Not including the main res.
3" main drain.
something like 476 gph pump for each res.
LOTS of air through stones... Air pump is set outside the room because I want o2 not co2 in my water.
Look'n real good, Whodat seems to get better with each chop my brother!!
Thanks Stank! These seem to be working out
Right on look what type of purple strain are you running in the pic and what is the ratio of plants that actually turn purple?
lol idk anymore
everything in my room is turning purple. I did slightly turn the ac down to 73 from 86-87 a few days ago to kinda hint to em that its closing time haha. Seems natural
Haha! You've fucked yourself, you are going to be trimming until September! I hope you have friends that are suckers for scissor hash. Man oh man does that BnS look danky stanky, and fatter than any nugs I have seen on RIU in a while. But doesn't look like a hash making plant, those leaves look pretty smooth. Or is it just because all the trichs on the leaves have been gobbled up by those massively fat Kongers?
I'm bummed out by this gap in my garden, I have at least 4-5 weeks until my next crop. And my last crop was only a few plants. I accidentally put a bunch of male clones in the garden I was saving for a breeding project, and then a few clones got mixed up with a strain I was throwing away, so now I have to throw away those plants because they are mold whores. Sucks.
But I'm finally growing outside. When are you going to throw some beans outside? You got to get into the spirit of the season!
Thanks
Im getting pretty good at trimming and am not daunted by the task ahead at all
All of the sample buds Iv taken have been realatively easy to trim.
Im sure BnS buds will make some amazing hash. It reeks and the smells have carried over to the taste in the sample quite nicely
so it should make some bomb hash.
Iv never grown outside before, I cant do it here really.
Holly cow!
stanks
I feel like im in no posistion to say this man but I noticed on a couple pics that there is some duct tubing hanging down and in a few pics it almost looks like its shading some of those nugs. Not that those things need any more light...there allready mutant! Im sure you know but just incase i figured ide be the dum ass to point it out.
No biggie SN,
the ducting is a little long because I had it lower at one point. I might need to drop it again so I'll keep it just incase.
The pic does kinda make it look like its in the way but from my point of view its as close to the wall as it can get lol
It gives perspective in the pics though so never mind...lol
That a 6" duct btw
used some older cloning solution.
