Loving that aquarium man! I’m actually a huge fan of bettas.

He’s a beaut! I’ve never seen a betta with so many different solid primary colors on it before like that. He looks like he has a few metalic scales too, I had a teal dragonscale betta that looked like it’s body was metal. Having to keep one male per container cause of their aggression is part of their charm.

They sure didn’t look like that when I was a kid! 
And back then they were primarily usually known as Siamese Fighting fish.
Yeah, I’m old …

The Good, Bad & the Ugly, But right now heart breakingly disappointed 
…
Let’s see some photos …
All the plants are suffering hard & diying off at random… FUCK ;( can see the damage here in these photos.
Only have 2 BOG Sour Strawberry 
left, the rest died Inc the male ;( 
However I did manage to collect some Pollen on a Qtip and dusted both Fem BOG plants main cola & seriously praying to get at the minimum get enough seeds to simply replace the seeds from the Orginal sources back to the people who trusted me so much to pull off this seed run, that so far as failed Badly…
Here is the dusted BOG females ( Pray 
)
If At the minimum, I want to return the seeds back to these 2 people who trusted me with this mission… I’m so upset & disappointed with this whole thing right now…
Whole tent.
I’m unable to pin point the actual cause so when this Is finished I’m literally cooking the soil in my oven to “sterilize” everything possible…
Fuk my life…

water changed and tannins added ready for the fish tomorrow…
That was such a wild ride and actual roller coaster of a catch-up and I totally feel for you as the shit is hitting the fan. 
Your aquarium is really nice and i’m hoping you’re able to focus on that success versus the issues in your tent. I JUST defeated some flies infesting my tank; which is part of my humidity/temperature regulating system for my upstairs growing space… turns out they were breeding IN my waterfall filters! I added a couple of shakes of aquabac and within a week later all dead ;D (aquabac is a larvae killer I use for my ponds, planted pots as a tea, and now aquarium! :D)
Big love that things perk up for you!!!

Well, I know what the actual issue for these plants are now. At first I seen a few flies in my tent , no big deal yea. . Well yesterday there was SHIT LOADS suddenly 
… F sakes, my soil is riddled with Gnate larva… THANK GOD I already had some diatomaceous earth on hand. I dusted the living crap out of everything ( in which I mean I made a 1/2" thick layer across all soil ) in the tent & letting everything dry out … also getting sticky paper traps tomorrow… wish me luck…
Also, after a few stressful days hoping my new fish that spent 12hrs in a cold box on a truck would actually live…
Here is " Samurai " my son named him lol
I personally just call him Fish 
🤷 
The cats seem to " Like " him too lol

Think of plants growing healthy, they need your encouragement. So they can tell you what’s wrong. It’s easy to talk, just wanting to help.

RE: GNATS
LOOK FOR THIS:
Get make a tea with it like you would with worm castings but don’t soak for more than 24hrs. Use this tea to water the soil and it’ll fuck those gnats up real good!
I also use this in my aquarium filters for the same reason! I had gnats a the weather cooled and 2 days after a sprinkle or two and nothing survived but the fish and water plants

@Taiga just posted a local source yesterday if you have trouble locating that product.
I’ve been using Mosquito Dunks, but they can be rather “hit or miss” in quality.
