I'm sorry but I'm confused...are you referring to my plants ? It's been about 120hrs since the transplanting and they look to be thriving. If anything I should move the lights closer I think they might be stretching a little.The vermiculite probably will make the gnat problem worse. It is moisture holding and gnats like things wet. There are some pretty good products out there for gnats, mosquito dunk is one.
No, no, not I. The post was about a light schedule change and blooming. However I have a nutes problem I think. I haven't fed my plants yet. But it's only the start of week 4 so I felt it's to early. I'm doing more research and I think that may be important to try feeding them. Do you think a home remedy would be okay ? Ex. ' Grinding up banana peals, coffee grounds, egg shells in water and let ferment for a couple days. Making a natural fertilizer.
Sorry yup it was Hydro
. And no I don't think that's a good ideal lol. Most of what you mentioned would be great for a compost pile as they take time to break down but not as a tea I don't think. Can you not get any compost or even a liquid organic product? I use compost and bone, blood meal, and Alaskan fish nuetrients. I used to harvest sea bird compost (cormorant) but it's to hard to get for an old guy lol.
Lol okay I won't do make my own than. I ordered seaweed extract / kelp online and will feed them that for now, hopefully it solves my problem. I can't seem to find any stores that have low NPK numbers. It's driving me crazy, I've been reading form after form, looking multiple products in store, etc... I wish I could just buy this at my local home depot.Sorry yup it was Hydro
Well honestly when I first started out doing big gorilla grows we used time release nutes and had great luck but I'm small now so just keep it simple and try for organic but not sure it makes a big difference really. I do the outdoor thing because it's basically free and to hot indoors but love my hydro pot lol
The vermiculite seems to be working. They gnats don't want to lay eggs in just anything wet, they want to lay in wet soil. Of which there is none exposed. And the plants havnt been watered in a 3 or 4 days now, in addition to the nematodes I watered them with. I think the vermic works fine, I chose it over perlite because of its smaller size and thus better ability to cut off any access to the soil.The vermiculite probably will make the gnat problem worse
Yes please do, I just assumed it wouldn't be good but that's what it was, an assumption, which one should never do lol.
