here’s a good article on this topic:

I guess my question on neem meal in the soil would be, is there any azadirachtin in Neem meal? If so, some of it will end up in the plants, you’re basically using systemic Neem, right?

btw, the old advice “let the soil dry out” is bullshit! The gnats seem to thrive just as well if you wait longer between waterings. The soil must be kept wet or the plant dies, I’ve never seen any helpful effect from letting the soil get dry, except that it lets you apply DE and have it work for a day or two.

Amen brother! Boycott Monsanto and the cannabis industry companies they have acquired. Gavita lights, General Hydro, and Botanicare!

Monsanto, ruining lives through modern genetic manipulation and hideous chemicals.

Don’t care how many jobs, this company needs to go away!

The first product is like to give some rep to is a lesser known tent company. Green Qube tents rock! They’re premium quality but far more affordable than gorilla tents. They have features that I haven’t seen from other tent companies too. They don’t sell in the States yet so I contacted them directly and they were very friendly and accommodated with shipping so I didn’t have to pay anything over their price. Awesome product, awesome support.

The second product I’d like to shout out is oxygen pot systems. It’s an ebb and grow bucket system using buckets with smart pots so you can use any medium with the ease and advantage of ebb & flow. I’m loving it.

The Grow Commander system. Not seen this one in person, but it is completely back ordered in the US. Seems a knockoff of the popular C.A.P. system EBB and Grow, or the all new Activa Aqua system. Set up properly, very easy to run.

If anyone is tempted to buy Gavita HPS check out P.L. Light instead. Much better quality and they serve 75% of the professional horticulture lighting market. Gavita was always a PL wannabe for the cannabis black market, PL fixtures are much better build quality.

I believe the P.L. Light is a double ended HPS. :grin:

yep, I’ve got the 600w HSE HPS they make and it’s a thing of beauty, you could display it in the living room as a piece of mechanical artwork! Maybe I will! :smile:

Gavita actually uses shitty plastic bulb sockets in all their $400 and $500 HPS units. I couldn’t believe when I saw that. The first one I had I tore the inside apart just trying to screw the bulb in. A thin metal wire like a paper clip holds the burning hot bulb in place, it’s unbelievable how flimsy it is.

The HPS I used as a youngster was from P.L. Light Systems, loved it. If I still had that fixture and its giant magnetic ballast, I’d probably be using it instead of the CMH I have now (though I do love my CMH).

Anyway, sounds like they’ve been a reliable brand for the 21st century thus far.

they still make a durable magnetic HPS and they also have a really nice 315 CMH unit, although it is pricey, the HPS are more competitive with other companies.

Urban-Gro in Colorado is a big P.L. Light dealer, they also offer their own CMH light “Soleil” that looks really nice, I saw it at a convention last year:
