I'm in the process of getting rid of fungal gnats, so my soil is a little dry. Are the weird spots fungas, nutrient issue or something else?
Specs:Prolly not from the gnats. Could be a few things. Please post a whole plant pic and give us some info. media, lighting, feeding regimen, etc.
Yes, I am. Here is a picture from this morning:Are you letting it dry down between waterings? 3 days for that size plant and pot, at least in my space(s) would be too much. The top is getting dry, but I really like for them to use most of the moisture in the pot before I soak them again. That dry cycle is really important in soil.
And I try to make the pot as dry as possible before the next watering tooAre you letting it dry down between waterings? 3 days for that size plant and pot, at least in my space(s) would be too much.

Yea also drying out your soil before using it helps a lotAre you letting it dry down between waterings? 3 days for that size plant and pot, at least in my space(s) would be too much.

That is so damn true! I've had my seedlings in soil for about a week and saw the first fungus gnat this morning. That means there will be more soon. I was hoping I wouldn't see any this time, but no, I was wrong.By the way, a bout of fungus gnats is part of the initiation into growing. Somehow, they are the world’s most perfect cannabis pest. If there is weed growing, sooner or later they will find it and visit you. Consider it a rite of passage
Most definitely. We all have our methods…because we all deal with them. I have found that crushed up mosquito bits or dunks sprinkled on top of the media, so it waters in easily keeps them down to almost nothing.That is so damn true!

The eggs typically hatch after watering. So, I spray some hydrogen peroxide on them when they're hatching. That'll kill a lot of them. After seeing one today, I put a sticky trap near the soil. These are just some of the things I've tried. There's plenty of information about combating fungus gnats on the web.
I’m not saying this is the problem, but want to mention that I made it two months of veg in roots organic lush soil before needing to add nutrients. I don’t know which roots organic soil you’re using though. Here’s a shot from the last time I took a pic (a couple days ago). I’m going to take another pic when lights come on in 1.5hrs.Specs:
Temp: 78-82°
Humidity: 62%
PPFD: 300-515
Light cycle: 18/6
Soil: Roots organic soil
Nutrients: Roots organic foundation and grow Watering about every 3 days
1 small oscillating fan
I'm using the regular green bag... the 1.5 one.I’m not saying this is the problem, but want to mention that I made it two months of veg in roots organic lush soil before needing to add nutrients.
