No, I killed 1 of them. Saturn because of bugs and mushrooms/fungus growing. The others don't seem to have fungus as far as I can tell from poking around, but still a few gnats in the tent which would mean A LOT more to come soon. Hopefully this slow them down or just stops them entirely. They really don't seem to be doing well growing wise. Sure they haven't wilted, but I mean how long have those lil grubs been digging in there and eating away. Probably as long as I first mentioned that they suddenly seem stunted. So I mean, it's anything goes now IMO. Thanks.
you killed 2 plants because of mushrooms ? sorry if i read that wrong,i know you got bug problems.
good luck.
@jelly0 Oh yeah, I just read yours. All grow vibes accepted, thank you.
@jingo Yeah, I never realized the clay pebbles were also good for anti-bugs before. I had only read they were good for aeration, drainage and they hold some moisture etc... Definitely going to give them a go next grow. Or if these 2 survive the next week and actually start growing maybe I'll try and remove the sand and pop washed, pH'd pebbles on top. Somebody (in this journal in fact) said keeping a dome on the seedling area could harm/kill a seedling. So I waited 2 more days and then, only used it twice for 6-12 hours each time when they were really small and opening up their first set.
I will try your method of pebbles all around the top with a small patch where the seedling is protected by a cup/dome and after a few days remove the cup and move the pebbles in it's place around the stem (If that sounds correct). Will try Coco w/ pebbles next,
May even try out Mephisto's GBD super soil additive. Will also bake the coco I get @ 200 degrees for 1.5 hours while getting things ready to ensure no eggs are in here. I don't think these gnats came from outside as it's wicked cold, snowy still. No other house plants or anything in the house. There were no sign of bugs ever, literally unzipped it this morning and boom, gnats.
Thanks for all your advice and help guys, it means a lot.
