So tired of pests...

Yep.... Have hit them with ECO oil... but didnt seem to phze them...

Will do DE tonight but Im going to go to straight coco..
Then maybe clay balls so I have less cost...

Fuckin bugs... only just got my soil mix sorted...

Little fucked springtails eating my seedling roots as they come up too...

So yeah... fuck em.. Will try hydro and see..
Also going full autos now...
So much easier than fucking with light cycles and non-interuption..

And... only doing fems from now on.. (Chucking and using)
Cuts down the fucking around..

Good advice. Have you used them? This is my 3rd year of using predatory insects with good results. Lacewings for caterpillars primarily. Also invested in Carpophilus beetle traps this year thanks to an invasion of them in 2023 (2024 no issue).

Yes, I use them in the hot house. Definitely good practice if you've had trouble before.

Yep mate, springtails they are. They are decomposers and will break down mould, fungi, bacterial and organic matter and shit it back out into your medium in a useable form.

I grow in potting mix so I have millions that come out into the tray when I water, and have had them in every mix for years now and have had them in most of my Coco grows as well. Some people will stress that they eat roots, but they will much on decomposing roots and turn them into a food source. Kinda like a natural zym.
