Ah I can't wait to see how these babies grow.
I'm chowing down on some carne Asada burritos and I start thinking about what I can feed my plants to get them a little healthier.

I'm still trying to kill the gnats.

So much fruit in the house I might just nuke the plants with soap in every feeding.


Smoking on some diablo og too...

molasses will feed the soil and keep it happy. Just make sure it's unsulphured, organic molasses.

But if you are having gnat problems I'd wait it out a week or to make sure they were gone for good

thing is gnats don't stay dead. ill nuke the whole room with soap and azamax(azamax doesnt do shit really soap work better). then those fuckers will fly in because of oxygen and carbon levels and take over if i dont feed soap every time.

I flushed them with soap and washed the outside of pots and drain trays then changed everything inside and nukes walls with soap and azamax too and let dry then put them back in.

i successfully killed them for about 4 days then went on vacation and they took over but they plants were twice the size so i wasnt surprised. now im dealing wth these fucks ill prob just use soap every watering...

Gnats eat fungus. Mulch the top of your soil heavy with sand, or something else that's hard for the buggers to penetrate.

back when I was running synthetics I would spread Cinnamon all over the tops of my pots when I seen gnats first appear. Cinnamon is a cheap natural fungicide and kills the fungus on top of your soil dead so the gnats don't have easy food to eat. Do those two things with your other treatments add some sticky traps, and I've heard a bowl of cider vinegar can also attract them to drown to death.

There's actually discussion going on in another thread about this topic. I will link what St0w says on the matter and I'll link the thread cause BigWorm knows his shit and you can learn a lot.

Mosquito bits and sticky traps will do the trick worm. I use about a tablespoon or so in 7-10 gallon containers sprinkled on the soil, then watered in. Give that a week or two and the gnat larvae will be toast. Those sticky traps will catch the majority of the adults

Moving forward, if you use neem seed cake in your soil when you make it you will really deter any pests period. About a 1/2 cup per cubic foot. The good news is gnats are mostly just an annoying pest and don't do much to harm the plant. The larvae will snack on all of the organic goodness in your soil before they will touch the roots

Hey if I added more n then p would it extend flowering time?

Last grow I found myself using 10ml of grow and 10ml of bloom to keep them from eating themselves...

I'm not sure if I should use less grow even if they eat themselves because they are flowering.

Anyone new that hasn't posted feel free to post.



Could a plant complete the flower cycle completely even with light leaks?

Well the soap has been slowly fucking them up so i nuked them all with cinnamon and paprika. Who knows what it will do but I put maybe 2 tbsp sprinkled all over top soil.

Ended up using hot tap water to kill the gnat larva and it worked like a charm. Gotta remember to use hot water next time gnats give me a problem.

Tons of dead worms floated to the top of the soil after being cooked in hot tap water lol.
Wish I could of killed them sooner.

Took the scrog screen off too, I don't know if I'll put it back on

Heard so much stupid stuff on how to kill gnat larvae.
1:4 hydrogen peroxide and water.
1:4 alcohol and water
Tabacco tea juice.
Man people were suggesting a whole bunch of shit...

All it needed was hot tap water...
Jezz

Think I burnt the shit outta my crop too with the tabacco had to flush today and just used hot water...

Could u imagine almost killing a plant with 1/10 of a cigarette sprinkled in each plant?
