well you can't win them all....

I woke up this morning to check the plants and found ficve dead clones and the others were pretty fried. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a gnat diving into the soil as I was trying to clear my half woken vision. Being half asleep I went into instant panic mode trying to figure out what kind of bugs I had in my sterilized tent.

Now mind you this is not my first grow but it is only my second attempt at indoor ever. The first was taken over by spider mites and fungus down in Arizona. Bugs are bad. I soon figured out these were fungus gnats and most every commercial soil has them. Anyway I bought a nicotene based pesticide and decided not to use it and  wwithinh nematodes instead. I bought enough to treat all my soil as well as the plants and that problem is solved I hope.

On to the next problem. I fired up the second light yesterday and my ventilation wasn't good enough. Anyway I just opened the tent up and left the vent system on high. I never thought about the clone cabinet. It must have been hot enough to cook an egg in that box.my solution was to move the clone  equipment out of the tent and create a new environment for them. I was given a used nano dome and bought a 10x20 tray to go under it. I put a nano t5 on it and the clones perked right up withing about 20 minutes.
