Rootz apparently has gnats this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-d3YhjMuM

 

[Samwell Seed Well]

just going to use some diatomaceous earth( cant spell anything) on top to stop that, but i have also been, on another forum, hearing that 707 is for outdoor because it retains water better and the pot mix RO is better drainage, soils have to drain well i guess? the gnats are always in RO as i hear

bee carefull diatomaceous earth is very acid

 

[gotthat]

think they fixed the gnat issue.

Not true. It has a pH of 8, which is basic

 

[gotthat]

so has this issue been fixed? anybody know.

I'm using it after a Nematode and BTI dunk. Couple gnats only, as one would expect. So I have no idea if they came with gnats

If your going to use the 707 make sure to check the ph!...I just had a bag of Roots with ph of 5.0. My plants locked out shorty after tranplanting into it.

 

[Rrog]

If the soil is really soil, and it's up and running with active microbes, then adjusting pH is futile and measuring pH is a waste of time

I use it and I don't have any problems. I use it rom seed/ clones all the way thru...

No burn or anything. My plants love them
