I'd say its a mild infestation. I have put the DE in all pots, and hydrogen peroxide in all plants (they seem to like it, it dissolves blockages and turns into oxygen in the soil).

Baby AK doing well!
The DE is for the Larva, it is sharp and they burst when trying to crawl past, I think you should just relax a bit and keep up what your doing, your likely putting a huge dent in the population, short of using an insecticide I think your doing fine, give what your doing a chance, make life for the knats inhospitable eventually they will be gone. But as long as your using soil there is a good chance things are going to come alive in it.

May I offer some advice?
In the bottle, remove about an inch of soil.
The reason I suggest this is because in my experience, soil or coir that is moist and pressed up against the curves has a tendency to become humid and can trigger a mould.
My experience was with a baby's feed bottle (as plant pot)
Just a suggestion though. Great idea for a plant pot. I'll probably try it myself.

Thanks for the positive words!
I have decided, for now, not to clone my seedlings, because;
1) I don't know their sex yet
2) I have SOOO many seeds and they shoot up so fast, why wait for clone roots?
Once I start a legit female plant, then I might clone

You can see how many adult gnats I've killed. Still every few days I wake up and loads are crawling out of the soil so I give em some hydrogen peroxide and kill 90% of them. A constant battle I suppose... keeps life spicy lol.
