I use the bricks. 2.5 cu ft for $5 and a little time rehydrating and rinsing is well worth it. Have yet to see a aphid or gnat in my coco plants or in my soil blend.
Man this makes me afraid 2 buy anything..
Roots 707 came chucked full of fungus gnats for me:help: RB
I got a few gnats from black gold coco b4.. At the time I was super mad & changed 2 B'Cuzz coco 4 like $11 more cuz there coco is steamed & clam 2 b low in salt.. I got the same gnats in B'Cuzz coco plus the ppm rite out the bag is almost 2000 & u got 2 super rinse it 2 lower the ppm's.. I'm gunna go back 2 black gold it's cheaper.. I was really thinking of trying out Canna Coco but I read Logics post & changed my mind.. Good lookin out Logic I'm juss afraid 2 get anything at this point.. I think from now on I'm gunna pre-Treat the coco by adding some Met52 in2 the coco.. But that's gunna b pretty expensive but better safe then sorryStraight up right? Anyone have any problems with Black Gold comin with any bugs? Been lookin' at that brand lately, seems pretty legit and organic!
I'd bet the hitchhiker bugs aren't likely to go for the compressed and shrinkwrapped coco bricks..
I will admit that when I switched over to roots organic potting soil the number of fungus gnats I saw went up dramatically. But they were easily controlled by pre treating the soil with a little granular azomite. Once I started doing this I didn't see anymore gnats. But at the end of the day, if fungus gnats kick your ass, you probably shouldn't grow. .
Specially after you bake the bricks in the oven. Or so I read somewhere.
Yeah you can bake that shit in YOUR oven! Those things are super dry and maybe a fire hazard if you forget it's in there? Which I probably would..
I've always wanted to use one of these: :banana1sv6:
Yeah, I had never heard of azomite being used for pest control either until I heard subcool emphasize it at school of dank. I gave it a shot and I'll be damned if it didn't work.Huh? Azomite killed off your gnats. Interesting. I use azomite as a source for minerals and trace elements to aid in primary nute up take. I have never heard of it used to combat pests. I could see maybe mixing diatomaceous earth to beat down the buggars. You maybe on to something.
