Diametecous earth often works well for me. Preventative maintenance in a sense.
U use organics right? I had gnats when I tried a tea in COCO.
Why the switch? I like to see the growth and water by hand and burn a fatty before and after work

I currently use GH Flora series which is not considered organic.
I’ve been wanting to switch to coco. I feel it’s “cleaner” than soil and I would like to eventually run a DWC system and this is a good test for me to see if I can handle that level of maintenance. Also, based on what I’ve read, it’s a lot more resistant to soil pests (I’ve discovered what appears to be bulb mites in my soil) and that convinced me to switch ASAP.
I like canna coco but I agree with you, the bag stuff had gnats. The Canna compressed brick I used after the bag was gnat free.Coco grower for 18 years now, ummm be seen mostly fungus nats ...but I got one for you, I take paper towel an put around base of plant, stops gnats from coming up an stops them going down do to the fact that they have no access up or down, also weed fabric on surface...Canna Coco is the most worst coir to use IMO because I've used last two years and gnats in it the bag version not bricks...
