Actually damnit they were fungus gnats, which they did not look like fungus gnat larvae but rather the springtails, but when i went back there was big ass fungus gnat flyers! UGH!
I just bought and added Sulfur And Cottonseed Meal to my soil mix and took that fungus gnat shit outside to mix with it.! Hopefully now with the sulfur and cottonseed the pH will be Lowered correctly and it and the neem meal will get rid of the fungus gnats.! This organic soil making is bull shit, i should have just listened! Should have just got promix, and amended.!
man talkin shit about organics again?, if you would have listened to us, you wouldn't be doing radical stuff like adjusting your soil's ph with sulfur and cottonseed meal.
I've read countless threads about your issues and you overthink it each and every time.
paralyzation from analyzation is what we call it.
Organics is simple you are trying too much.
its tough love man, don't take offense.
For the record my organic soil has all kinds of crawling writhing creatures, that's what you want.
If you made your soil with neem, and crab meal, you shouldn't have bugs anyways.
the safest thing to do is cover the toplayer of soil with dm and horticultural sand.
