I think the title is pretty self-explanatory for today's Patreon reupload! This will be a 2 part video, with this being part 1. In the second part, I will discuss and reflect upon why this method worked so well, and how it can be applied to those facing fungus gnat infestations.

I also show updates on how the Fridge TEK tubs are doing! Plus discuss some upcoming outdoor grow experiments in September.

I hope you are all having a great day or night!
