ive got a few plant that seem to have fung gnats. Tricomes are about 2/3 clear still but her Health seems to be declining rapidly. right Now I’m thinking either harvest, put her in the dark for a couple days then harvest, treat the soil with neem and harvest her with the rest or just let her be and see what happens. What would you guys do?

If the gnats are only in the soil, I’d chop the whole plant and hang it up in a dark place, toss the soil out, if they are in the bud you could wash it in water before drying it, gently dunk it somehow. Thc isn’t water soluble.

I’m not seeing any gnats in the air or in the buds. Just wondering if it was a harvest now, treat now or it’s too fucking late let it go. now that i know what is going on I’m not too worried about the other plants. This one just seems to be going down hill fast.

Ya, I hate the gnats, I’d get that soil out of the grow room, but that’s just me. Especially if the trich’s are turning amber, or are they just milky?

Still 50/50 milky clear. I see a few amber on the colas but they get more and more transparent further down.

Cutting all your leaves off sure didn't help. Why did you cut all your leaves off? Harvesting that early will give you subpar weed for sure. Live and learn. This grow will not have a good outcome.

I didn’t cut all the leaves off I defoliated a little heavy about 6 or 7 weeks ago but all of the other plants look Ok. She did too until a couple weeks ago.

If you harvest it now it's basically trash. Only option is to try and ride it out until it's done.
You can get spinosad spray if you think pests are the problem. It's safe to spray on flowering plants.

im definitely learning but this is what the others look like. She just took a wild turn.

If you think that the sick plant is suffering from pests all the other plants would have the pest if they are in the same area. Leads me to believe that something else is wrong with the sick plant.

Sorry, thought I mentioned it already but this one and another are in plastic pots the rest are in fabric. I don’t think the fungus gnats are a problem in the fabric because they dry out so quick.the other plant in the same style pot is declining as well but nowhere near as bad as this one. I think she will make it to harvest. I realize they will be stressed and won’t fulfill their potential. What I’m asking is will this plant keep ripening to the best of “it’s” potential or should I cut my losses and see what she is.

It will keep ripening as long as it is alive. It might herm though. Only you can decide to cut your losses. Keep in mind if it does herm its going to seed all your other plants.
