Thanks man, this gnats shit is the reason I never wanted to grow in soil but after buying the amount I did then may aswell have a steep learning curve.
Hydroponics after thus grow for sure

Nematodes work great too and pot poppers are cheap

I'm never using soil again... I so hope I get away with atleast 1 doob from this grow.
I have a layer of mold on top of the soil and I just can't get the humidity down to less than 84_96. Even i know that's way to high.

I dont think its the soil. As far as the pests, yeah. Thats soil. But humidity wise thats a whole seperate issue.

If your room has nowhere to vent or get rid of excess humidity its gonna build up as plants get bigger and transpire more water, healthy plamts are humidifires. I have to run a small dehumidifier in the summer no matter what because where I live, during this time of year the humidity outside is between 60-80% thats gonna effect humidity indoors. Growing in a confined space is going to create extra humidity regardless off the medium. It just needs somewhere to go. Amazon has some great dehumidifiers for under 120 bucks that can do 1000sq with continuous drain if you have a drain available. It will really help keep the humidity down and will help in drying too to keep the humidity more stable while drying. Mine is for 4000sq feet, it does my whole room but it sits by my tent and had really helped in the summer months.

If you decide to try coco for a grow you might want to try an autopot or tray2grow. No pests, no hand feeding, no waste water removal. If that sounds good check out the link in my signature. I love em!

Thanks for the reply. I recently bought a 2 litre dehumidifier and have it running 24/7.
I switched to 12/12 earlier than I wanted to by 2 weeks...So only 4 week VEG now.

I take on board what you say totally as I've got the room sealed and have just been venting into said room. So I'd say it's time for a change and to vent the shit out of room along with every appliance running...
Yeah?

Thanks everyone for the help but I did not account for my greed and have had to abandon this grow due to such.

I just couldn't get the RH down enough to a fine level without mold.

So new grow soon using only SAWNEYS
