They're all hanging in the garage now drying. I'll make a note of that for the future. Anything I start now will be indoors the whole time anyway. THanks for the offer though.

I use it as a preventative measure when I'm running soil indoors, along with some Southern Ag GFF to prevent root rot.
When I treat all my plants the same, some of them inevitably end up overwatered.
Yeah I'm lazy, but when you've got a bunch of little plants, picking them up every day to see if they need water is a pain... :eyesmoke:

I picked up a cheap little moisture meter, it has worked for me so far.

I got a lil bit of everything, but also have a bunch of predators. I'm watering with nematodes every 2-3 weeks until harvest to keep root aphids, fungus gnats, and fire ants at bay. I'm keeping a Marigold around as a trap crop for spidermites. One got trashed but the other is controllable so I'm keeping it. Keeps them away from the canna plants. Also ordered more green lacewing eggs.

Really? I thought you were going to say promix still.

There is a possibility that where you are getting your bags of coco from that they don’t store them under cover and the pallets got rained on. Can totally invite them bastards in that way.
Of course the main thing is to let the pots dry out longer than you’re doing. I’ve had fungus gnats quite a few time in coco when doing more of a hydro setup/watered more often.

Have you tried Diatomaceous earth yet?

Yeah, actually I have a DE Filter for my pool. First thing I tried was DE because I had it. Those fuckers just laughed at me.

I usually just follow along vicariously, mostly amazed at how much everyone accomplishes each day, baking pie even. Today though I'm worthy, installing an under sink water filter. It seems to work too. In a blind taste test folks (well, two people) said they couldn't smell the water anymore and picked the filtered water every time, well twice, but still, 2-out-of-2.

I'm tellin' ya, mosquito bits work in a pinch. You've gotta use a lot and it takes about a week, but they will definitely kill the shit out of fungus gnat larvae.
I soak 1/4 cup in a glass of water, then filter out the solids when adding to 10L of mixed nutes.
Everyone sells em and they are out of season now so you can pick them up cheap.
