I'll check it out, thanksI’ve always used 420 Bully as a general anti fungal and pesticide
Fingers crossed I think j I just ended my bout with em by removing the top layer of media and trashing it, the a dusting of diox and I have only seen like 1-2 since still have my sticky traps up thoughThe Topper:
Probably my favorite of the three main. I just like the way it looks...sturdy, bendy, happy.. I'm wondering if I should give it's tops a topping too, and get four way going? (Anyone experienced in that, feel free to leave me some advice on that, it would be much appreciated.).

(notice the staggered nodes..is this normal? The other side is the same..)
View attachment 943940 (the 'other' side)
All in all, I'm happy with its progress so far.. Its not as tall as the others, but that's understandable, its been topped.. But I feel this is going to be better yielder with the split top.
Being that the nodes are staggering, I'm wondering if I should avoid a second top...again, any advice is appreciated.

-Current troubles:
•Fungal Gnats.. Nothing fun about them.. And I suspect these "gi's* have something to do with it..

Good thing its only in this planter, but the gnats... If you have a natural remedy, I'm all ears.. It seems almost every 3 days, a group pops up.. Is it my potting mix, or just the room condition.. Both?.. I don't fear the mushrooms, I understand that it means good medium, but again.. The gnats.
Theyve had a thorough watering 1½weeks ago, I think I'll lightly water them tomorrow, top two inches are loosely moist.. .
End rant~
Good idea! Makes sense too, that's where they live.. I'll give that a try before I go pesticidal..Fingers crossed I think j I just ended my bout with em by removing the top layer of media and trashing it, the a dusting of diox and I have only seen like 1-2 since still have my sticky traps up though
I use these for fungus gnats along with yellow sticky traps and increased air ventilation on the floorLegs:
She's got em'.. Like her other sister(before the great bend).. She's getting tall..

I wanted to let this one be free, although the odd heights might become problematic.. (Which is why I worked the other, taller twin over)
She's been trimmed a couple times giving her odd node spacing, but the cut leaves just weren't progressing, so I fired them.. The plant hasn't skipped a beat without em'..

(Notice the skipped node..)
I rather like the thinner fingers of this one.. Her sister has a broader set, but they both run about the same length..

Problems:
I feel like princess Peach in the toadstool kingdom, because this one has em'.. Better than the big shrooms, but still, gnat food :( again, I don't mind them, I like mushrooms and their vast varieties.. But them gnats!

-same water schedule goes for all-
Ive defeated the fungi gnats with sticky traps, worked better than expected..however, I now have little white gnats(thrips?) They look like gnat sized moths.. They're not as bad as the gnats were, but I'm afraid they're leaving droppings on my leaves.. I'm currently looking into foliage spray- any recommendations?I use these for fungus gnats along with yellow sticky traps and increased air ventilation on the floor

Sounds like whiteflies? search it and if you have them come back and let us know cuz you're going to need to get after them asap.

Ill look into it right away~Sounds like whiteflies? search it and if you have them come back and let us know cuz you're going to need to get after them asap. I had don't have experience with them but I think I know someone who may
So I'm not sure if they're whiteflies, there's only a few, and they're not as bad what I've came across. I'll keep looking into, but for now, here's a pic of one I was able to find- (bad phone cam). You can see the droppings on the leaves.(piece of dirt on one leaf)Sounds like whiteflies? search it and if you have them come back and let us know cuz you're going to need to get after them asap.

That's white flies; I don't have experience with them, I would ask @Seraphine and @DirtbagSo I'm not sure if they're whiteflies, there's only a few, and they're not as bad what I've came across.

-some of the leaf damage...Hard to tell, can you take a better close up pic of the leaf with the damage? Kinda looks like thrips trails. But could be whitefly. If whitefly something like azamax or neem, or an insecticidal soap like safers end all or Scott's bug b gone should work. If thrips, a spinosad product is your best bet.
