Thanks for your input. I transplanted to smaller pots this morning. I almost went the neem meal route in the top layer of soil this grow, didnt think of it till i had the gnat problem. I already had some gnat sand from the previous grow so i figured i would just use that. I think most of the...

I had some air stones in their for aeration, though nowhere near that level of churn haha
