Got gnats?Is this a sign of early stage root rot? I’m really hoping it’s not. Plant appears to be healthy. Very minor curling up of the leaves. I moved the light to 24 inches away and pointed my fan towards the wall instead of blowing in the plants direction to hopefully mitigate wind burn. Had the fan on it to help the stem gain some strength. I’m hoping all of this time and money didn’t go to waste.. This is my first grow. Also the plant has been leaning to the side for about a week and a half maybe 2 weeks now. Which is before I pointed the fan towards it. It seems to be centered under the light as well. I was thinking about tying the string to a tooth pick on one side and then around the stem but decided not to. Right now I have it propped up with a tooth pick.
If I do I haven’t really noticed any. I just got some neem oil earlier today and will spray. You think it’s too late at this point?Got gnats?
Don't do anything drastic here. The plant will straighten up on its own, as it is already doing (see the stem starting to curve upward?).I haven’t started feeding as of yet because I’m using ffof and I’ve read/been told that I don’t need to start feeding until about 5 weeks? I do have big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom, and cal mag though. I’m waiting to use them. I’ve seen a few tiny black flies flying around along with ants as well. I sprinkled a light dusting of cinnamon on the top soil and I am going to water tomorrow. It will be day 3 since last watering. I just don’t know why she fell over about a week 1/2-2 weeks ago? She basically did tonight too. I agree, it appears I don’t have any nutrient deficiencies from the looks of things. So that’s why I’m confused and want to make sure I’m mitigating any other problems that could be going on.
I was looking at pro mix! I think on the next run I’ll go with that. Or maybe start off with happy frog?? Is that decent or more neutral to provide better control?I personally bend mine with a mix of high and low stress training the falling over because of stretching with weak stems for now I have 2 going now that lay across the soil from falling over and they will grow fine.
Yes don't feed any extra with ffoh I don't personally like it I need more control over the feed so I only use non fertilized pro mix
still go by the method of only watering when needed. days are irrelevant unless you're noticing a drastic change in consumption and are worried.Ok thank you! I have sticky traps on the way. just ordered them. They’ll be here tomorrow. I sprayed a little bit of neem on the top of the soil. I haven’t watered today either. Should I hold off on watering? This will be day 4 of no water. I hope this doesn’t ruin everything.. I’m low key stressed out now haha.
Got gnats?
I’m going to get some of that as well and do as you recommend. I just got the sticky traps today and also sprayed neem last night. I’m going to do the lift test and potentially water today as it’s been 4 days now. I raised my light to 24 inches as well! I’m still seeing new growth so I don’t think she’s dead in the water!! Time to get this girl back healthy and do what I can to ward off the pests and any other problems! I’ll post some pics when I can after the lights turn back on later on this afternoon!Diamas us earth is something I also use especially good for crawling bugs. For gnats I prevent them buy putting a layer of play sand about 3/4 inces thick on top to cover soil then gnats can't get into soil to leave eggs I mix the sand with a good helping of food grade diamascus earth I do this during the veg stage at least to prevent bugs.
Gnats are a nuisance for sure but unless they are so many it blocks out the light (ha) they will slow growth for a bit but the plant will over come as they don't damage it that much and if you do get bugs be thankfull it's not pretty much any other bug like mites or something gnats are very easy to catch he'll you may have even brought one in on your clothes
