Okay, well like I said before may take flack for stuff that's not necessarily their fault, doesn't mean I didn't have gnats in my Fox Farms soil. And since they use worm castings, there could absolutely be gnat larvae in there when it is produced. Yes could have been the grow shop storage I'm aware. Just trying to point out that you can't just negate other people's experiences because yours has been different.

Same way that I can't say 100% that the gnats were in the soil when it was bagged, in order to prove your point that everyone who complains about these issues is a liar you would have to buy all of Fox Farms supply, open every damn bag and check them all for gnats.

But that was the purpose of my whole post that u jumped in kinda late to, you can't negate others experiences (in this case, mine) because yours is different.
The original conversation was about not starting in hydro for a new grower. Which led to me basically saying I think fox farms wouldn't be a bad first time medium even tho people here who I see have mad bugs are talking shit of fox farms for having bugs. Which again goes back to what you said..

I agree it's nota bad choice, at all but I will say for the full length of the grow (seed to harvest) I've found a good bag of Build a Soil 3.0 or light recipe and a bag a craft blend is much more cost effective and better end results.

I'll have to check that out. I just like that ff comes in a 3 gal bag very convenient I don't really have the room, space, or desire to store extra soil and im not planting a whole lot. Not yet at least.

Oooh..ooooh.....I have Never had any soil pest until I got worm castings.

Instrctions say you must cover it with a layer of ordinary compost because soil pests love it.

I followed the instructions....but still got massive vine weevils in all the pots I used it in....... ....I Blame the worm castings........

Which is a Shame...cost the plants Love it.....

They do sell 1/2 cu.ft bags which is a little over 3 gallons. Thing is, if you order delivery from them the shipping is $$$! I was stoked when the grow shop in town stated carrying their stuff
