PTJ's 4-gallon pot R&D thread

Thank you for the thorough response. I recognize this is directed at the beginner but was just curious what you were putting into everything. I will keep an eye out here to see how you progress in terms of participation... In case you still have need closer to September. Basically what Roz said lol.

Ps. Fungus gnats don't scare me. I use Coast of Maine which comes with 1000 free fungus gnats with every purchase. Fungus gnats are my bitch, I crush their asses.

There's a local store that sells Coast of Maine. I was in there looking around and there were a bunch of fungus gnats flying around the outside of the bags, which may have had small rips in them here or there. What a turn-off. But looks like they are no match for you @Hitch !

Yeah one of the local hydro stores stopped carrying it because of that. I feel like at some point I'll be forced to switch, but I hate FFOF so...

Mosquito bits are the fix. They work better than dunks. Half teaspoon per gallon of water, soaked overnight. Then I filter out the bits, make my solution and voila. I do not skip this, ever. I also bury the old bits in my soil when planting FWIW. The only time I have issues is when I have things like autos, planted in their final pots from giddyup. Because the entire pots don't get watered for awhile, it takes more time to kill their larve.

In the fungus gnat post office, they got my mugshot on the wall lol.

I appreciate it @Frimpong.
I'll DM you.
I still need to get the first 10 out, in addition to figuring out how I'm going to come up with a couple thousand for advertising. I'm still moving forward and planning on "going live" early next year regardless of whether testing is finished.
I feel like the timing of all this is off a bit but also that there will never be a "good" time to get it started.

Everyone I've hit up on Facebook has the same problem, they all want to grow but don't have adequate means to do so(poor light, no actual grow space, no horticultural knowledge, etc) so perfect candidates, just ill equipped.
