You know those statistics that tell you how many insects you eat on average in your sleep?
Well I've most likely had 3 years worth of flies during the past week. I've kept this little growing pad of mine close to my room, and as you can see one yuzu seedling has finally popped through.
What you may not notice are the tiny white specs in the soil, most of them being gnats larvae. That is the second generation of the bastards, there are dozens swarming around the pot as we speak. As you can see I've put down a few vinegar traps, and unfortunately had to toss my two other pots since the rot got to the seeds and was just a breeding ground for the gnats. I'm not all that happy with the traps however, I've yet to see any of them at the bottom.
I probably should have bought some bacillus like you guys had mentioned earlier, but I wasn't able to find it in any stores near me. For now, I'm just going to see if I can keep the soil not too wet for the gnats to feed, and not too dry for the yuzu seedling.
On a more positive note, I'm glad I was able to get one plant started. That bulb is working wonders, big thanks to the anon who recommended it before.
Even if this little project fails, I think the light will come in handy for what I want to grow this summer.
