I would recommend to use another soil, certified for horticulture. Or if you really want to reuse your coco, you can pour boiling water to kill everything, let it dry, and then start your seeds with some mychorizae, trichodermas.

Thrip control?So I have a small case of thrips. At first I was thinking the white bite marks in the leaves was some sort of deficiency until I saw one of the little buggers! Luckily it doesn't look bad so I'm just going to Finnish the run. Are there any mid flower treatments? ThanksWeek 9

Should I wash the potting soil mix before sowing?Going ahead with my first grow. Should I wash the potting mix before to remove impurities and dust particles, before I sow the sprouted seeds inside? The potting mix contains Coco Peat, Perlite, Organic Manure, Seaweed, and other beneficial microbes. Advice would be appreciated!Other. General questions

Watering seedlings queryHi there,
How much should I be letting the coco dry out for these seedlings?
I just had a failed grow due to overwatering the seedlings and I'm looking for some guidance.
I know there's many factors, but I'm just worried I'll either under or over water again.
Thank you!Setup. Seedling

StretchingBecause my seedling stretched a little during her first few days of life, is it safe to bury a small amount of her stem in the substrate when I transplant in a week or two? I'm using coco and perlite 70/30. Actually writing this down made me realize it's probably a stupid idea 🤣Week 1

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away.
