Wow that is bad luck...
How come nematodes didn't get rid of them all ?
Would BTI work here ?
Found out yesterday that the critters were springtails. There's a mixed opinion about them. Some say they're harmless and I can concur that last grow I also had loads of them in the soil, as many of the time lapses can concur. But I do feel the seedling needs to be left alone for it to grow and prosper...Those first days it only has that one taproot and if this gets munched on by the springtails it's byebye...
What's BTI btw?
I'm gutted for you bob but in this growing game it's just a case of moving on and as I've said before bringing outside soil indoors your going to always have unwanted passengers
also I'm just due to pot my solo cups in the next day or 2 in the water only mix so am I ok tagging you in a while
Moved along brother. I felt really guilty in wasting so many of Sawney's seeds, but he's a swell guy and took my stupidity like a champ!! Sst...But I think he's sending some more over so I can get a third try on them Spawn of Sawney
To make sure I'm not screwing this up, I've cleaned out the tent and lungroom with the vacuum cleaner, then sprayed every surface with a hefty mix of water and Detol. Afterwards cleaning everything off with a damp towel...
The pots, tray and every other little thingmajig that could be removed was brought outside where it got a first cleaning, removing all the soil into the tub with the remaining soil. Then in a bucket with the same mix of water and Detol as I sprayed before to remove the soil and debris left on the surfaces. Then took everything inside the bathroom and gave them a nice scrub with a fresh mix, just as before. Then I let everything drip for an hour (ok, I was tired and needed a joint) and thén sprayed everything off with plain water, so that no residue of the Detol would be left behind.
I'm getting everything fresh btw!
A new (70L) mixing tub, 50L Lightmix with perlite, 10L perlite and 10L of dry worm castings. Into that will go 250gr Startrex and 250gr Silicium Flash and about 5L water with 5gr Bactrex and 20ml Orgatrex added to that, to wet things up a bit and to get it started brewing for a week or maybe longer...
So sorry buddy!!...
