Soilless media (commonly used for growing marijuana) was actually a game changer in my apt for indoor plants during the pandemic. If you have any issues with fungus, gnats or any kind of negative root insects soilless media is the way to go. Fertilizers that incorporate beneficial endophytes are also fascinating. However, steer clear of nutrient blends like Noot though - they're watered down and urea derived which is a great way to stress and kill your house plants.

Yeah, though with the caveat that if your medium retains water very effectively (as e.g. rockwool does) and is exposed to light, then it may grow algae. The larvae then feed on that algae, and the problem is back. I spend a lot of time fighting fungus gnats. The best option is always to adjust growing conditions to create an inhospitable environment for them, but I also make recourse to Bti (a bacterial toxin, like mosquito dunks) or pyrethrin sometimes.

- chilling 5y agoI don't know how to make them out. My preferred solution (used in both soil and hydroponic) is GHE SubCulture[1] But any should work just fine [1] https://growx.ru/images/catalog/GHE/stimylatori_i_dobavki/subculture_ghe.jpg https://growx.ru/images/catalog/GHE/stimylatori_i_dobavki/su...
