Plus of living in a tropical climate I guess. You wouldnt need much, couple plants should suffice. They would grow fine indoors as well in the winter but you prolly know that.

@Afgan King does the hay help with fungus gnats ?
I just raked & aerated the pot surfaces , I get a build up of solids kelp & ganou , ect , that I want mixed in better just a 1/2 " down rake but I do use a hand claw to sink it's tines into the surface 3" & give a slight tug , there a mass of tiny furry roots everywhere that I gotta open up for oxigen & keep from pooling . the mat of roots is that thick it holds back water so to get quickest adsorption i open up the surface , i do this every week

I use Natrol once aweek . it a BT product has the same shit as a mosquito dunk
some Hydro on-line stores have small amounts of 4 sale it's a general AG product
small pint jar has lasted 2 years & i'm still got 2/3 of it it's granular like corn meal & it sinks fast
use much like Great white soak the top dress area with a gallon mix of 1/4 tsp + glug molasses in a gallon of R/O
I add to my water storage bbls as well for the mosquitoes

How is it you run high EC salt nutes in a medium containing compost? Isn't that a waste? Or is this whole thing of non-organic nutes killing micro life just another garden myth?

I nute to all hell but no burn lol my ppm last run was 2210 on 500 scale week 6-8 with no burn we hit em hard never really let off but tupur kills it no issues never salt buildup

You only kill microbe life if u build up too much salt for one, second why wouldn't it work even if it did I mean it would still be a medium of coco perlite and organic matter. There's something different with it I an tell you that for sure because I've seen side by sides of coco and tupur and Coco with perlite and tupur and tupur wins every time the root balls that build up I'm there are massive

I actually think its a great idea. Being a mostly organic grower, I don't think of compost as soil structure, even though it is, so I wasn't looking at it as such.

I'm running auto pots and I may well try some Tupur in them!

You'll be very happy with it. I run kinda a mix of synthetic and organic right now I'm setting up compost teas that a buddy has for like every 3rd or 4th watering along with I inoculate every other feeding with mycos. The plants seem to absolutely love it I know as of right now @ttystikk is seeing how well it works and I've seen mushrooms and little cloves and all sorts of goodies pop up in this tupur before which proves it can hold microbial life even with using synthetic. It's all about finding the balance

I'm using GrowMore Seagrow and I'm loving it in coco. Its mostly organic, derived from seaweed, with just micro nutrients added. Growth an color has been outstanding. I've even run the 16-16-16 grow formula through an entire grow. I have nothing really for or against any form of plant nutrient, I just others having great results with it. And its a fairly priced granular like dry nutrient. Not as cheap as Jack's but possibly worth the difference.

Tupur seems to be the missing link between the nutes, the plants and the environment. Nothing is struggling, they're all leaping upwards. Same nutrients, same ratios, pH is close and EC is higher.
