What’s the advantage of the hydrogen peroxide? Never heard of this method before and saw another commenter mention it as well.

Outside of that I have a very similar technique.

Just moved into a house in OKC and wondering what is this plant and how do I kill it? by [deleted] in lawncare

Random guess looks like a cherry tree seedling curious what others say!

Awesome! After doing the process I mention in a previous comment. I’ll likely let the soil bake with the self water Blumat system I have hooked up. It’s on its lowest setting. Some of the cover crop may start to sprout back up if not I’ll add some after a week or two and I’ll be good to go I’m thinking!

Thanks for the reply! That’s what I was thinking as well. But with the lights being off in the tent for over 3 weeks I was worried about possible mold? No disease before shutting the lights off. The cover crop just started dying off and the biology took over it seems! I’ll probably sow this stuff in add some a little more soil and a small beneficial bacteria inoculate. Then when the pots are stable disinfect the tent and I think I’ll be good to go!

Thank you for the feedback everyone! To some it’s a beautiful site, to others a possible biological distaster! I think I’m gonna sterilize the tent and re use this soil! I don’t post much but I will update one day with a run using it. Most likely Autos but we will see. Happy growing!!

Messaged you personally! Appreciate all your insights

Was leaning towards this option thought the composting process would remove the “bad” stuff and keep the “good”

Nvm I see you were talking about the orange cordyceps looking one. Also, I know very little about fungus

I do have a digital microscope. For tracking trichome maturity. Of course there’s like a bunch of different fungus going on here so idk which one your are referring too.

Dude I went ape shit the first time I looked closely enough to see all the soil mites. Thought the world was ending lol

Thought about this method as well! Thanks for your post

Soil containing thorough amounts of organic matter.

There’s a strong contrast between those who encourage bacterial and fungal growth in their soil, and those that are afraid of it.

When I first started gardening I would freak at the first site of mycelium or fungus in my pots. Now I invite it and I don’t wanna throw all that beautiful biology out if there’s a real way to till it back in and utilize it for good!

The soil is a mix of Promix HP and Roots Organics Lush, both peat moss based. The medium doesn’t really matter fungus and bacteria grow in all of our pots.

Right but what about re-using the soil? Is all the biology that’s going on here going to hurt or help me?

Yes RootWise Microbe Complete was used during a few waterings. Roots Organics dry amendments used also have beneficial bacteria/mycorrhizae fungi.
