    • @LifeWithQueenii
      @LifeWithQueenii  3 місяці тому +2

      No sand when they move outside, the sand is just for inside when I start them. There is a whole ecosystem outside and unfortunately fungus gnats are apart of it but I don’t have issues with them outside even though they are out there. The sand is to allow the seedlings to grow large healthy roots systems in the first part of their lives so that when they move outside some fungus gnats nibbling on their roots won’t bother them much

      @LifeWithQueenii  3 місяці тому

      If you have an infestation I recommend a flush with mosquito bits , just add it in a gallon of water and let it sit over night and water your plants like normal and add a 1/4 inch or 1/2 layer of sand ontop. You will no longer water from above moving forward only bottom watering. This will keep the sand in place and the plants will get the water where they need it, the roots.

    • @LifeWithQueenii
      @LifeWithQueenii  Місяць тому +1

      All seedlings that are started indoors get this mix and if I can find earth worm castings I add that too to give the mix some nutrients. Please check the video on how I feed my plants. Coco coir has almost no nutrients in it for proper plant development so I do feed them weekly. Once they’re hardened off they move out into the garden
