I have ran into multiple problems this grow with fungus gnats and underwatering and I am just getting to the point where things are improving. The problem is that I cant tell if the plant is healthy enough because as a result of my problems my plant never looked the same down to the leaf structure.

Purple stems never went away...However they were straight purple and now they are purple striped since the new growth.

A little closer so you can see what I see....

Well if their getting green again thats a good sign.

Yes its green new growth and it does seem to getting bigger...Im not sure!lol Ive never had to recover from so much damage.

I would mate there be to talk in min otherwise

Plus I need to leave room for the stretch because at this point its a nice size plant! I'll wait another week and see how it goes and if it's still showing signs I think I might have to trim it back some.

I was thinking that. Just didnt want problems during flower.

My cobs are about 20 inches away right now and I might be able to raise them six inches max at this point.

That plant looks great, I'd flip it right now. For the fungus gnats, consider getting some mosquito dunks, shave/break them so some of the powder is on top of your soil, and cover that with 1/8 to 1/4" soil. Every time you water, the dunk powder will inoculate your soil with BT, and those fuckers will be history.

Why not flower it!! What do you have to lose? Maybe some wisdom!!

I "flipped" it...as for the fungus gnats I used nematodes and a neem/cedar oil mix but Ill keep that method in mind next time Zero.
