i have 2 times already should i take the first layer of soil off and add a little more?

and what should i do about nats? there all over my clone and none on my mother plant (which is further into flowering)

your not letting your soil dry out enough, pluck any mushrooms in there out, remove the top inch of soil maybe even the top 2, depending on soil type and root size, if you see any roots stop right away and dont go any deeper, be very careful and remove small parts like archeologists do on digs so you know you dont go to deep, dont add more soil yet, wait till you've let the soil in there dry out pretty good, then add new soil. or just try letting your soil dry out better and the musrooms should all die, but since youve said they came back last time i dont know if it will be enough to stop em, cuz ive had this happen and so have others here and i just plucked em out and let the soil dry out pretty good and cut down on watering after that and they were gone and never came back.

I had both mushrooms and gnats once when I used Scotts soil in a pinch. The shrooms went away after awhile though. What kind of soil you got?

well the reason why i didn't let it dry was cause i read it needed to be humid in the dome so i'd spray once to twice a day trying to keep it moist but i may just get rid of the clone i don't think it'll be worth the trouble

knats and mold are caused from too much moisture. After 3 days only spray the dome not the plants ONE time a day. clones dont need to be soggy wet. After a week if they have rooted (tiny tug on plants) start with 15 minutes dome off and if they do well without droping 30 minutes tomorrow without dome. If they take well from there dome off until roots show enough to plant.

yeah i just threw it away to much trouble and i wouldn't have gotten as much of a yield out of it as the trouble was worth so it's all good and yeah it was hella rooty when i took it out and it had started rooting like about a week ago i was surprised how many roots it had already i was debating on keeping it and just resoiling it but i decided it wasn't worth it but this can be a good info guide for anyone else with the problem
