Awesome, thanks for the info! I definitely will look into smartpots (they are the material pots correct?). How much mycorrhizae should I add into the coco? Anything you would recommend for the prevention of knats? I much rather be proactive. How about Hot Shot Pest strips?Only suggestion I would have if I went to buy new pots, is that I would probably go for Smart pots (I think that's what they are called, they create increased root branching)
I personally would use mycorrhizae in my coco as well (your roots will love you for it). And if using coco get something for gnats as they always seem to turn up.
Nice pics Sup!!!! What is it? Looks kind of super model -ish.
These do work for most pests but are toxic so most people will recommend only using them in veg and only if your veg area is separate from flower.Awesome, thanks for the info!

Hot shot pest strips work ok but they aren't proactive technically speaking. Buy some diatomaceous earth and mix it in with the soil, or sprinkle a layer on top like you'd powder sugar a French toast. I was having a hell of a time keeping them under control without the DE. It's sold as a pest killer and also a pool filter supplement.Awesome, thanks for the info! I definitely will look into smartpots (they are the material pots correct?).

Thanks for that tip Chaka. I'm guessing it's organic friendly? Maybe a dumb question but I would like to know anyway lol. How much should you sprinkle on top? And are you to water after applying?Hot shot pest strips work ok but they aren't proactive technically speaking.

Yes it's OMRI compliant/approved if that's the word I'm looking for. I use a spoon to sprinkle a layer tapping as I go, where you still see the soil through it. Yes you water as normal afterwards. It will eventually dissipate into the soil but it's still working. I've not had to add it twice before.Thanks for that tip Chaka. I'm guessing it's organic friendly?

I bougtht some dunks...lil round donut shaped dunks. How do I use that to combat fungus gnats? I tried to dissolve it, but they break into pieces and float instead....Lady J you may wish to consider mosquito dunk the are organic.

Edit:
You'll also find bacillus thuringiensis -the main ingredient to those dunks, packaged along with those spores like great white, myko madness, mycogrow etc. I think it's safe to say it's ok.
