Well I have finally figured out the cause of Gnats....
I have 3" net pots that are holding the current flower girls. The hole that was made for them is proabably 1/16" smaller than the pots. Well all but 1 of the pots has fallen into the root chamber allowing light and water to sit and make a mess. I found it yesterday when I was doing some cleaning.
I have no idea how to fix it without fucking up the grow. I wadded up a white trashbag and stuffed it into the exposed hole but this is only a band aid.
Anybody have any ideas on how to seal 4 gap of a hole? I am in full flower and it is way to late to try and pick the net pots up and put them back. Pretty sure I will break the stem since I heard some creaking when i tried it.
I'll pics up tomorrow but any and all ideas are welcome. i do not want to fight these damn gnats again.

So Yesterday I posted about getting gnats.
They are there for sure. I have set up a few sticky traps and took desperate measures.....
Went over to Homedepot got some 1" ***expanding foam sealer. Took some Tyvek and stuffed it into the exposed gaps (thinking this will protect my plants) and then emptied the entire contents of the can onto clay pebbles and area underneath the light guard (foam thing with reflective material).
***I didn't know it would expand until the can was empty and I waited for 15 minutes. You can see in the last picture
Here are the pictures I am only hoping that it doesn't affect the girls negatively.
Desperate times call for desperate measures:

Well now on to the good news!!!
Day 20 = 5.20.2014
Strain = SWOG (Skywalker OG)
Nutes = GH Series Gro, Micro, Bloom, Flora Nectar, Kool Bloom, Floralicous Plus, + Non GH, Zone, H2O2, and Crystal Burst
I am currently using the crystal burst 50/50 with Kool Bloom. Nute Strength = 7:10
PPM = 1100 - 1400 (I add water if it hits 1400)
PH = 5.6 - 5.8
I could not be happier with how everything looks. Only wish I can destroy these damn gnats. I think I caught it early enough that they can be removed. We shall see.
Here are the pictures of the happy gals:
Oh yeah can't forget about the baby SNOG over in the veg tent. They have had quite the rough life so far. Surviving an attack of gnats and sludge inside the rez (NEVER, EVER, EVER use clear tubing). They are on the road to recovery though and have all of their issues corrected.

Flower Day 34 = 5.27.2014
The girls have survived the foam explosion. So that is good news.
Bad news for gnats = They are all dead
Just a quick update today.
PH = 5.78
PPM = 1100 - 1400
Quick side not on my nutes. I started using Humboldts County Own "Crystal Burst" two weeks ago. I can't say that I see a significant difference at this time in the grow. I am assuming I should see a difference in the next two weeks because that is when this strain starts going to work.
Same Nutes as last post.
Strain = Skywalker OG (SWOG)
Aftermath Pictures of Foam:
We finally get a little trich porn:

Yeah I have made it few times. I follow frenchy.
I actually have a bag full of trim in my freezer (I know frenchy doesn't like that, but I don't always get to it right away). Since I don't have much to do this weekend maybe I'll pull my bags out and do a run. I want to get some of those special boldt bags but can't really spend $50+ a bag right now.
I use a knock off brand 220, 170, 120, 73, and 45. The left over water and stuff goes into the garden and man do they love it!!!. Everything is so happy after being watered with the leftovers.
Here is the last coupe of runs:

Beach Sand! Green Crack hash! I want to go to there!
You can just dry the trim with the bud and then you can cure it in a container until you are ready to run it.
I have started drying the buds with the sugar leaves. Then I final trim when I am done curing. I ended up with a giant pile of cured sugar trim and the buds are super frosty.

Made some ICE Water Extract last night. Will be chopping it up and starting the cure tonight. Also will be doing a water change and Making QWISO.
Very exciting night ahead of me, lol. New pics will be up tomorrow. Will also have some pictures of the IWE and QWISO process and finished products.

WooHooo Made some Hash Last Night.
I won't get to much into my process but the pictures basically tell it all.
It is a combination of Frenchy's tek and Matt Rize. Although this time I will press in Frenchy style. Hopefully tonight depending on how lazy I get once I get home from work.
Here are the pics:

Just as I thought... One more week and I see a huge difference in the flower trich development. I love this Crystal Burst/ Kool Bloom combo.
Day 41 = 6.3.2014
Strain = SWOG (Skywalker OG)
Nutes = GH Series; Micro, Bloom, Flora Nectar, Kool Bloom, Floralicous Plus, + Non GH, Zone, H2O2, and Crystal Burst
I am currently using the crystal burst 50/50 with Kool Bloom. Nute Strength = 7/10
PPM = 1150 - 1450 add water if it hits 1400)
PH = 5.6 - 5.8
Here are the pictures. Something yummy look at now
. There are trichs along the stems and branches nearest the buds. Couldn't really get a clean shot of it though.

Hey Beech thanks for subbing.
Where you been at Jad? Did you get the next grow setup?
So here are my qwiso pictures. Thank you qwizoking and your thread, very simple process: http://rollitup.org/t/qwizos-qwiso.831286/page-2#post-10589976
Enough Chit Chat here are the pics (There will be three posts).
In the beginning there was Super Skunk #45 (45 Day strain. The smoke sucks and the high is mellow, Which is why it was chosen to be sacrificed).
Feel free to ask questions about the process I am going to let the pictures do the majority of the talking. Also check out the thread above for QwisoKing's easy tek.
Filtering and quick 30 sec wash.
