Hi Nerds, maybe some of you can offer some assistance.
I JUST had a major mite issue due to what I call "summer neglect" and have made the decision to press the reset button.
My garden is stripped and cleaned and will be non operational for a month or so. I culled all my strains as well which was hard for me to do as I feel very connected to those pants. However, I do not want bugs in my garden making a special appearance again. It seems easier to grow from seed again than to try and save a infested strain IMO. I'd rather not take chances and I'm not in a hurry.
So, I am Making my first batch of Super Soil during this downtime as a fun project. I've grown TGA in DWC for over a year with HnG nutes, but now I want to do the real deal and just add water.
Due to my recent experience with bug issues and watching the weednerd and hearing of Thrips and Gnats from Roots here is my question:
As a preventative step, would be a good idea to do a soil drench with azomax to the Roots Organic BEFORE I even begin mixing my supersoil. Would that help get rid or at least supress the bugs to a degree that when my soil is ready to be used I could potentially avoid these common bug issues associated with Roots?
Or should I just mix it normally and hope that Roots has made a better batch than in the past and deal with the issues as they arise? Hope this isn't considered a stupid question.
