In the soil book, I read that I'd get fungus gnats and I did. Also to not worry one little bit when it happened because he was giving me the cure. I put that information in the humorous section of important things to remember that I didn't believe. Here's how it went.
I saw a gnat. That's all i need to see. I got out the Safers Garden Dust. As directed. I put a triangle of 3 lines on the soil on the 10 gal pot and sprayed it in a little with water. He says it takes about 10 days to kill all the maggots and they'd be a non issue.
Well I'm here to tell you it happened to me. All of the above worked.
The problem started in the 2 x 4 tent so I did too, dust and a yellow sticky sheet. Then I thought I better protect the 4 x 4 tent so I put a painters 5 gal bucket filter over the intake to it. I was finding them stuck there unable to fly away against the air current a dozen at a time. I crush them before I open the tent and lose suction. It feels a lot better than it should.
. I inoculated the 4 x 4 earlier so it never got inundated with them. I have a yellow sheet in there with 2 dead ones on it forever. Probably a prophylactic positive action to consider in the future.
The first sheet was in for the 10 days or 11
Then I spritzed with this
And got this
Here's the inlet end

Nice, gnats are pain in the butt.

They almost broke my first grow and I was fanatical about it until this grow. Nervous until yesterday. Hehe it worked.

The tea's I've used have only been in the flower mode of tea giving starting two weeks before I flipped the lights. Then given no less than ten days apart. I should have tea'd up in veg too but they were growing too fast for my tent. Messed up but oh well. I bubble it for 36 hours with a pump and an air stone(s), strain it through a 5 gal paint strainer and use it.
Here's what's in it per gallon. Edit: this should be diluted in half!
3/4 TBSP (max) molasses natural unsulfered
1 tsp alfalfa meal
2TBSP Fox Farm Big Bloom liquid (optional)
1tsp Humes Gardening Blend (optional but highly recommended)
1tsp insect frass (optional)
1/2 tsp Bee Pollen (optional)
1/8 tsp azomite powder (optional but highly recommended)
1tsp kelp meal
1tsp feather meal
1/2 tsp dry all natural bloom fertilizer (example OrganicarePure Bloom)
1/2 tsp balanced high N bat/bird guano (example 12-8-2 for NPK)
1/4 tsp high P bat/bird guano ( example 0-10-0)
1/2 tsp fish meal or dried fish ( example 11-5-1)
1/4 cup earth worm castings ( or compost, or 1tsp worm leachate)
Here's the rig
I've used this tea 3 times and have most of it's ingredients. I can't say I saw a burst of growth when I did. I did see a good steady progress through time. I'm happy with it's microbial richness. They're my new friends, I have them over for rocks on Fridays and they stay forever. Enjoy the week, It's Monday right?

Your tea should keep the herd going strong.

Whatever goes on in there it made them ramp up steady. Next is a finishing tea in a couple days. Only time for one or two applications of that.
EWC adds a lot of bennies to the soil.

While I'm at it here's the finishing tea./gallon. Then as with the flowering tea it needs to be diluted in half.
1 tsp kelp meal
1/4 tsp high P bat/bird guano (0-10-0) or bone meal as a sub)
1/2 tsp(max) molasses unsulphered
1/8 tsp azamax powder
1/4 tsp bee pollen (optional)
1/2 tsp Humes gardening blend (optional)
1/4 tsp dry bloom fertilizer (Organicare Pure Bloom for example)
1/4 cup earth worm castings
Again a 36 hour bubble and sift, thin it by half and in their pots. One or two times for this one I think. We'll see. I'm mixing it tomorrow first time.

I think it's the work horse of the bunch. There's a bunch of things with npk ratings in there too. A Hybrid of sorts maybe.
We’ll see how it works

That's the one thing I wanted to make myself but I'd be killing my worms every winter with no room to keep them inside.
You can buy good castings so no biggie.

I guess so. That's what the hydro store guys tell me. Seems to work so far. Maybe I don't need to micro manage everything. 
Not as closely as we usually do!
Highya SO,
Very interesting things you're talking about and doing. I have come to the conclusion that microbiota are the biggest thing I've been missing. Last winter I studied about Dr Cho's Korean Natural Farming methods. And that's a lot about growing more microbes to turn natural nutrients into a form the plant wants. The other part is about getting the nutrients from an indigenous source. So far, the seedlings have had a better root system at transplant, adapted to soil quicker, and have been better looking plants in general. Win/win for me. I do want to do the AACT though, but may try that on my tomatoes. The AACT grows microbes and provides nutrients, so it's very similar, but totally different, lol. Anyways, We finally get some nice weather. Our second day in the 70's. Yay!! So fun experimenting with new promising things!! Cheers

Hi Bode, I'm having a lot of fun, as you are I see. I found Dr Cho's methods and am thrilled to know it's there for me to learn later. I'm still wet behind the ears in the LOS way and I want to get more grows learning about it. We 're having the same down here too. Cold and wet almost every day. It won't last.
