So despite the plants not needing much water right now and having fungus gnats I should feed regardless with potash and phosphate as well as neem?

with the gnat situation I suppose wait it out for the soil to dry , will lower their population

14ml of h202 per gallon also helps kill larvae but neem is the most organic

Strongest strength of h202 i can find is 3% would i still want to water that down per gallon or adjust since I cant get pure h202

but if you have any beneficial bacteria you WILL kill them with h202, not with neem

then ur back to bottle nutes

Just gonna hope for the neem and upping airflow with the drying out of pots to hopefully kill them or at least allow me to harvest before they do too much to my harvest

yea its hard to go non organic route with pests when they are huge population but small amounts are easy to deal with and you just have to break their food chain

Just topdressed and scratched the wetish surface placing the neem granules as well as potash and phosphorus underneath the top layer so it gets a little bit of moisture to break down without watering.

The problem doesn't seem too bad as in couldn't find larvae when top dressing. Decent amount of adults but the sticky traps seem to be working and I only just put it in.

Hopefully doesn't have a huge toll on my harvest I guess ill know whether I need to ditch the organics in a week or 2 if the problem doesn't correct its self

Day 32 flower 53 days total from clone.
Currently got 9 different strains going not sure what they are but got given them and wondering how my grows going. Plants look super healthy imo but wondering if they are on track to finish by week 8-9.
All soil organics grow using slow release and blood+bone.

2nd grow ever but first time putting effort in :)
They look great. Just keep doing what you're doing. And don't expect them to be done at the breeders time. An 8 week strain usually takes about 10 weeks or so for me. So I kinda say add a couple weeks to it, give or take.

Was only putting them underneath where the wet soil was so the microbes could start to break the stuff down until next watering to avoid needing to water to give the medium some time to dry out. I watch Mr Canucks grow and he says usually takes 2-3 waterings for any of the nutrients to be available to the plants. So I imagine its the same situation right?

Thanks! Yeah I got them from a mate that has grown the strains for ages. They were pre sexed clones meaning they showed pistils before flipping to 12/12. He said sometimes i can get it as early as 8-9 weeks but since its a first run I wouldn't mind going a few weeks over :)

You should post pics when you think they're close. I'd bet if you wait until 10 weeks you'll be able to teach your friend something. He might be harvesting too early. Lots of people make that mistake.

Day 42 week 6
Looking good?

Noticed some foxtailing so I tried lifting the light but its still happening so might need to lift it a little more.

Still got fungus gnats but watering every 8 days or so might push it to 10 as they are multiplying pretty fast. Everytime I water it definitely picks up. Can barely see any right now as they were watered about 6 days ago but hoping to fully dry them out.
