I think my dirt is a bit too dense as well, the roots could be thicker. But other then that they are doing very good.

If your root development is not what you want then increase the perlite or in your case clay gravel.

You can also have soil gnats in your home made soil\compost also. Just add some perlite or play sand to the top of the medium. This will dry the top of the medium out and it will prevent the adults from laving eggs. The larvae will not hatch in dry areas.

Nice looking plants.

What is an ACT?

What are the ingredients?

How often to you use the ACT?

dolomite lime (varies according to how the above mix tests for ph)
(all mixed thoroughly, very lightly watered and left to sit for a while)

I should add that it does seem true that all Mandala varieties can survive very well on basic rations...

I do vary the mix depending on availability of ingredients and whether outdoor growing or indoor.

Your plants are looking really good and healthy

This is very similar to mine. You must be in the UK using the John innes soil.

looking good.
I use miracle grow myself and they do great in it. Actually its one of the soils recommended by Mike and crew on their website. And everyone whose grown Mandala strains loves em.
