Hello

[whatsaforest]

Gonna start a grow diary, thought I might as well introduce myself here too. Gonna be starting up in a 1.5m x 1.5m grow room, hopefully growing in soil (I like a challenge and that good feeling you get once you've sorted out the kinks) but maybe due to time and lack of research I'll end up using non-organics for this run. First timer, have read a few threads and diaries on SE lately, looking forward to learning a lot more as I go along, and sharing any progress or cool shit I find out from elsewhere.

Whenever ive done a soil run i always have greenhouse seeds powder feeding the hybrid mix on hand, because when i fuck the soil up i just finish with that it can be used in Hydro or soil

Soil inside ay?

Been there done that...

I would suggest you layer

Some sorta gnat barrier to top of pots... https://www.bunnings.com.au/yates-4-5l-gnat-barrier_p0170990

Will save you a headache done the
Track....

Mate I've found a half shovel full of yard soil inoculated every soil mix I've ever ran and lately I haven't even needed that. I reckon soil mites do a better job than any of the methods i tried when I was in Coco which was a surprise. I tried mozzie dunks, peroxide, barriers and Neem flushes to no avail.

I'm lucky enough that no matter what I do, all me mixes are absolutely choc full of hypoaspis before I even consider potting.

No gnats here for years now.

never used the gnat barrier stuff but a top dressing of mustard seed meal will do the trick , as well as feeding the soil & activating soil life , $10 1kg
oh & don't use plastic pots because trying to stick the meal in drainage holes to stop the gnats is difficult , go with fabric pots instead , no drainage holes

Fuck I saw this post too late hahaha

Do ya reckon that it requires the full 3cm depth per the bag directions? Cos by my calcs I'd need about four bags. Thanks for the info btw, definitely doing this next grow, will see how the neem, mustard seed meal and stick traps go for this one.

I would try both ways just for comparison..
Couple with gnat barrier
And a couple with mustard seed meal,
See which one suits you for $$ and effectiveness...
