Need some help please.
Good or bad fungus/mold?
This stuff is growing under my mulch/cover crop. Its mostly on the dirt but some on dead plant material.
I dont see any on the cover crop (clover)
I dont have any cannabis plants in there now as im gearing up to do a big clone run.
Best pics i could get.
Its white and looks a lot like trichs tbh, Stringy
Looks ok to me as far as I can see, if it’s between the mulch and soil, it’s breaking down the mulch. The worms usually eat it up in my pots, I deliberately grow it, for teas, dust some moistened compost with rock dust and leave in a cool dark place, with just a bit of a gap in the lid so they get a little air, and in a week, lovely fungal bacteria.
Couldnt tell you for sure but it may just be something thats like a slime mold commonly found in landscape mulch and not harmful to plants. Just breaking down the material that’s there would be my guess.
Does it look kinda like this?
I never identified what it was exactly but it never hurt anything.
I’d take it as a sign that you’ve got some healthy soil
Hmm i think it will look like that if it keeps growing.
Its doesnt look like tyoical mycelium or whatever but ive only seen mycelium a cpl times.
How quickly do you spray IPM after feeding? Have you considered combining the two in lower amounts than usual? I would also consider foliar feed one day then in 2-3 days spray IPM, just rotate. I dont think it is a waste per se, but I do think it may be over drenching the plants, which could be counter productive.
Hello people! I want to start doing aact for my planns. My conteiner is 8 liters total, but i’ll probably going to make 5 liters of tea. I want know if an air pump with 4 L/Min would make the job or if it’s too little for brew 5 liters of tea. Thanksss 
This is the greatest compost tea website of all time.
LoL, this link saved me a lot! Thank you so much for this! 
look like you learned alot would you share a simple organic soil recipe with me for auto flower genetics thanks?
Here is a great article and coots living soil recipe.
Mixing your own soil is alot of work, but I am finding it rewarding as well. I will mention that the ladies are loving it as well. Good luck!!
Edit: I first used this recipe on auto flowers and the grower was amazed at double yields over his organic fertilizer method.
I’ve used this simple water only mix with great results.
Base Mix (2 cubic feet)
7.5 gallons of peat moss
4.5 gallons of perlite
3 gallons of fresh EWC
2.5 cups of dolomite lime
Ammend with
2 cups bone meal
1 cup blood meal
1 cup kelp meal
1 cup greensand (optional)

Looks pretty solid to me! Not hard to mix that one up!
thanks for that info . the amendments or for each cf. yes
As I noted above that recipe makes 2 cubic feet, so 1/2 the amendments listed per cubic foot.
@reikox so you use ewc to replace a compost?
I use no compost just castings. Well…my compost goes to my worms then I use that. The purpose of both is to boost microbe life in the soil.
Yep. EWC is compost. In fact it’s also called vermicompost, but most people get confused when I call it that. My worms mostly eat cannabis leaves, coffee grounds, egg shells, hamster bedding, and veggie/fruit scraps.
Hey all, im looking for advice, its not no til but this is the most active relevent thread i could find. I want to ammend my indoor rols with my outdoor compost and was wondering if you all think i should do anything to kill off any pests in the compost(mostly fungus gnats) or just control them as they come? I pulled the ammount im going to use and sprinkled de on top and put it in the sun so far… Also i am running fresh cuttings with only a couple weeks of time between rooting and being flipped to 12 12. Would i be better off running 6 plants in 3 gallon pots or 9 in 1 gallon pots? They are all indica dominant hybrids.
Mosquito Dunk is a partial answer. I haven’t worked out the protocols yet but have had interesting results. My suggestion is to grate up 1/4 of a dunk doughnut into 4 gal of water, stir & let it sit for half an hour and water down your base soil mix. Fork it in.
Congratulations, you just released an apex fungus gnat predator.
Cheers
