Ahhhh, the fungus gnats! That's what happens when soil is packaged too wet & stored improperly. Probably not sterilized/pasteurized well either. Fox farm products are quality. Never had or heard of that problem with them. Just don't use ocean forest untill plants are no longer in seedling stage, use happy frog (gentle enough to start seeds in) untill they're in rapid veg growth, then transplant to ocean forest. I don't use nutes untill the plants show signs they need them. These soils are very well ballanced. Big Bloom occasionally, light on the nutes. It was good timing for me to find a store where fox farms is always available, since I can't turn a compost heap anymore. But I Do want another earthworm farm. The ones you can buy now require very little labor!
