[Captain_Oveur]

Howdy community ,

here is a small grow project in a 4x2 tent (1,2m x 0,6m) with a 320W FC 4000 EVO LED lamp.

Substrate is soil, fertilized with nutrient salt, Hakaphos Soft Ultra 18-12-18, dosage 5g per 10 Liter = 0,5 ‰ / 0,72 EC (later additionally with MKP).

Each plant was topped 7 times and in about 2 weeks the plants are repotted into 11 liter pots.

The nutrient salt is for normal and soft irrigation water.

Total nitrogen
10.3% nitrate nitrogen
7.7% ammonium nitrogen.

NO3 : NH4 ratio 57 : 43

NPK 18-12-18
NPK ratio 1 : 0.7 : 1

Soil temperature is 20 degrees.

I am currently fighting fungus gnats with the bacillus thuringiensis, as well as neem oil and nematodes.

 

[Captain_Oveur]

Today I released the nematodes to control the fungus gnat larvae.
These fungus gnat larvae can be seen in the soil with the naked eye.
I caught a fungus gnat larva for a photo shoot.
A double magnification macro objective was used.

As a preventive measure, you can cover the soil surface with sand or perlite or pebbles and it will deter them from laying eggs. If you already have them this will also help lower their numbers.
Also, your water is a bit too high EC, you might encounter some random deficiencies because of it. If posible, use reverse osmosys or rainwater.
