Devastated bad fungus gnat invasion

What do I do at this point? I want to throw them both away the gnats destroyed them before I could get rid of them.

Never saw gnats do that.

I've had some pretty bad fungus gnat infestations. They don't have the ability to fuck your plants up like that. I'll be interested to find out what this actually is.

Looks like maybe they got nuked from bad nutrients or something since it's localized to newer leaves and the bottom branches look sort of ok.

they'll be fine once they grow out. diatomaceous earth sprinkled on top of your soil will take care of them as will letting the plants dry out more between watering.

I also have never seen that from fungus gnats, and I had them bad once. I used sand to cover the dirt COMPLETELY. Diatomaceous earth works too, but watering is tricky with it. Sand doesn't disappear with watering. Cover your dirt and give them a week or two, should grow out of it, unless there is something else going on.

If you cover the soil with diatomaceous earth and its a hassle for watering you can put a layer of lava rocks on top. Like an Arizona flower bed. And it will make watering easier. Won't wash away your DE as bad.

No way that's damage from fungus gnats.
You sure you don't have any other infestation cause gnats can't do that to your leaves.
Pretty sure gnat larvae are what do damage to your plants not the actual fly itself and when I say damage I use that term pretty loosely cause I have never actually seen any damage by gnats and I've had them bad a few years ago. They are just annoying really cause they will get stuck in your trichs and are just generally annoying flying about your head.
Maybe cause I grow in organic soil and the larvae have stuff to eat they leave my plants alone

This is what helped me get rid of them for good

I wonder if this is from broad mites? I've never had them, but they fuck up the tops of the plant.

This may sound like a stupid question and could be. How close and what is your light source

is that mold growing on the surface of the soil?
turn over pots and see if it’s white ish in the holes also?

Turn your light down to 50 %, you're giving too much for this stage of their lives.
