Growing in Mother Earth coco. Came in a bag, seems it came with fungus gnats because i have no idea how they would have gotten into my house in March. A little under a week and i spotted one, squished it and was hoping it was a one off... i knew better. Saw another small one today on one of my white widow autos.
Squished it and flushed all the plants with 3% hydrogen peroxide 1 to 4 ratio. I used a gallon and a half but here lies the other problem. How much do you need to water a 3 gallon pot with at LEAST 30% perlite mix, before you see runoff? Iv'e put nearly 2 gallons into one pot that was only up to 2 gallons full and still got barely ANY runoff. I'm using Vivosun fabric pots. How much water am i going to have to dump into these to get runoff?
Do i need runoff every watering? If so, my nutes, when it comes time to use them, aren't going to last very long. Why aren't these draining properly? Coco, perlite, AND FABRIC pots. They are staying heavy for days and don't appear to be letting go of enough water.
Oh and for the record, i know excess moisture causes gnats, these little BASTARDS started before i began watering to try and get runoff. I was only watering a small area around the seedlings, the rest of the medium was only using moisture out of the bag.
S.O.S!!!!!!
