Michelle P. — Indoor Grow Room Spotlight

Michelle runs a year-round indoor hydroponic grow in a climate-controlled sunroom in Show Low, Arizona. After working with Heber Hall, she went from a “black thumb” overrun with spider mites, aphids, mealybugs, and pill bugs to a fully plumbed, automated flood-and-drain system producing dense, nutrient-rich greens, herbs, and fruiting crops.

I have a climate-controlled indoor sunroom here in Arizona, and for a few years I tried to grow my own lettuce, greens, and vegetables in raised beds. Honestly, I had a black thumb. Nothing really worked. My plants were weak, constantly struggling, and I was completely overrun with pests. Spider mites everywhere, along with aphids, mealybugs, millipedes and even pill bugs. It felt like no matter what I did, I was always fighting a losing battle.

Everything changed when I met Heber Hall.

Through his consultation, he didn’t just give me tips, he completely reworked my approach. He helped me design and build a fully plumbed, automated indoor flood-and-drain hydroponic system. We set it up with a mix of rockwool, coco coir and hydroton across different zones so I could grow a wide range of crops: lettuce mixes, herbs, leafy greens, and fruiting plants like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, peas, carrots, radishes, and even strawberries.

But the biggest shift wasn’t just the system, it was understanding biology.

Heber helped me rebuild the microbiome in my system and showed me how to actually balance and dial in my nutrient solution. He used tools like photometers and other testing methods to fine-tune everything, and that level of precision made a huge difference. Instead of guessing, everything is intentional.

Once I started using the Mycogasm products as part of that system, things really took off. The biostimulant brought my system to life, and the foliar spray noticeably improved plant vigor and resilience. My plants went from weak and pest-prone to strong, structured, and thriving. The constant pest issues I used to deal with are no longer a problem in the same way. My plants can actually resist and handle stress now.

I’m vegetarian, so the quality of what I grow really matters to me. The difference in nutrient density and how satiating the food is now is something I didn’t expect but immediately noticed. The greens are richer, more flavorful, and actually filling in a way store-bought produce never was.

Now my garden is something I’m genuinely proud of. It’s productive, healthy, and consistent. It finally feels like things are working with nature instead of against it.

I’m really grateful to have Heber guiding me through this. He’s been there every step of the way, and it’s made all the difference in turning something I struggled with for years into something that actually works.

Randy J. — Pepper Seedling Spotlight

Randy J. (Indianapolis, Indiana) shared side-by-side photos and progress notes from his indoor pepper seedlings — plus what surprised him most.

Set 1 The first side-by-side that changed his mind

MA Wart / S. Hot peppers — ‘Without’ (left) vs. ‘With Mycogasm’ (right). Same variety, same conditions.

Randy started by treating only part of his seedlings to run a quick comparison. That plan didn’t last long because the difference showed up fast.

“Two weeks ago I took your advice on trying your Myco on the seedlings doing about half for a side by side. Well that only lasted a few days when I noticed a difference… so I did the rest.”

Set 2 “Huge difference in just 2 weeks”

Cayenne Long (Med Heat) — ‘Without’ Mycogasm vs. ‘With Mycogasm’ at two weeks. Tape measure shows the height gap directly.

Even in a steady, cooler indoor basement environment, Randy described a jump in growth over a short window. The measuring tape between the two pots tells the story.

Set 3 Sweet & mild peppers vs. super hots (realistic expectations)

MA Wart / S. Hot super hots — ‘Without’ vs. ‘With Mycogasm.’ Super hots grow slower than sweet peppers, but the treated plant still pulls visibly ahead.

Randy noted that his sweet/mild peppers surged ahead, while super hots stayed slower (which is normal)-but still looked lush and full.

“The mild sweet peppers are all 7-8″ tall, super hots just grow slower but very lush.”

Set 4 Root development (his strongest “wow” moment)

Side angle of the MA Wart super hots comparison — Mycogasm-treated plant showing the fuller canopy that ties to the root structure Randy described.

When it came time to up-pot, Randy said the root structure was unlike anything he’d seen in past seasons.

Set 5 Growth with minimal extra feeding

Randy’s note here is valuable because it ties growth to a real behavior change: he became hesitant to push fertilizer because the plants were already moving.

Randy’s note here is valuable because it ties growth to a real behavior change: he became hesitant to push fertilizer because the plants were already moving.

“I’ve only given them fish fertilizer twice in the last 50 or so days which is amazing with the growth. I’ve only given them the myco once, and nothing else—I’m almost afraid to give them any fish fertilizer.”

Set 6 The big-picture result (ready for the next stage)

Randy’s full pepper grow — multiple varieties developing together under lights, heading toward hardening off and transplant.

Randy began cautious (as most growers are with seedlings), then quickly shifted into planning mode—beds, transplant timing, and hardening off—because the plants were advancing fast.
