Hello, My question has to do with a little mushroom I found growing in my soil under my plant. Is it a good sign or a bad sign?

It won't do to much harm, usually a sign of overwatering. Some spores probably landed in the soil and your conditions have made it thrive.

Mushrooms are an indication that your yard has a lot of organic material in the soil. Mushrooms help break down that organic material, and make your soil more productive.

Soilless PH window specific peat/coco/perlite mix
Ok I need the nail in the coffin guys. I’m using Fafard Root Factory RF C8. Picture shows ingredients. What is my ideal PH window for this type of mix? I’m also about to transplant. I normally just fill a pot, sprinkle Dynomyco, drop plant, fill in and water. Is this correct?

Clay pebbles at the bottom
I'm thinking using this like maybe an half inch in 4 gallon fabric pot - for better airflow for roots & to prevent overwatering. They absorb the excess well and give off slowly. Been doing this with my normal plants at home and it works well for them. Anyone with experience?

How do you wash your coco?
I'd like to reuse my coco, so just wondering how some of you that use it wash yours in prep for another grow. I had issues with gnats so I want to be sure the coco is pest free before I use it again. I don't have lots of gadgets so tips on how to physically wash it wd be helpful

Roaches in my new bag of Happy Frog soil.
New grower. Swapping out my promix for soil. I wanted to make a mix of Happy Frog, Ocean Forest and perlite. My Happy Frog soil received via Amazon is full of roaches! Dumb question but is this trash now? How in the world do I return an open bag of soil to AMZ?!

Manure in outdoor pots.
How much manure should I mix into my pro-mix. I have a pile of seasoned manure from last year and want to use it in my outdoor pots. I want to mix in some Gaia Green bloom into it also. Thinking of using 10 gallon fabric pots. My photo seedings just popped out of pure pro-mix.

Another Soil Question
Hello- Another soil question. Currently use Happy Frog. For Promix, do you need to add perlite or vermiculite? Has anyone used Commonwealth Canna soil? Looking to use something different. Thank you in advance

Do I need to add nutrients to a premixed soil?
I'm using Cost of Maine Grower's Blend (Silver Bag) and am coming into the 2nd week or so of flowering. Do I need to top dress with any nutrients or is the soil enough on its own? Growing autoflowers in 3 Gallon pots.
