I pushed a bit the soil to dry more because of the fungus gnats! So if they ddont find wet soil they cant put the eggs on the dry one! But with pyrethrin and traps and dry soil i keep the population very low!if you are looking at increasing the number of wet dry cycles she goes through add some areation typically those types of soil lack in the department. currently watering every 2 days in your situation is fine. some people drown their roots in full saturation for days on end, and this on advice..
are you still experiencing gnats even now?But with pyrethrin and traps and dry soil i keep the population very low!
you are not increasing n unless you have a def. who told you to increaseBtw on the bloom stage that i am now, how i can increase the amount of Nitrogen?
Very low population, maybe i see 2-3 every day.. and the traps mostly clear!are you still experiencing gnats even now?
Just a thought, that i did is to increase the frequency of feeding with the bloom nutrients that also have Nitrogen, is this correct?you are not increasing n unless you have a def. who told you to increase
I posted some pics a couple of days before, and @GNick55 also said that he sees N deficiencyyou are not increasing n unless you have a def. who told you to increase
cover your topsoil next grow bro, gnats cause damage at the rootsVery low population, maybe i see 2-3 every day.. and the traps mostly clear!
without knowing what nutrients you are feeding, i can confirm you definitely want to add n throughout the bloom phase, this isnt any more than you where feeding during later stages of vegJust a thought, that i did is to increase the frequency of feeding with the bloom nutrients that also have Nitrogen, is this correct?
i wasnt aware there is any n def as things stand, ill have to read the threadI posted some pics a couple of days before, and @GNick55 also said that he sees N deficiency
..for your gnat larvae
credit where it is due! you managed to get a plant to flower - with soil that doesn't drain so well. don't know how you did it. i've tried, didnt go well at all... pulled out most of my hair in the processCommon soil, nothing special, just ph around 6
I usually water my plant when the soil is almost fully dried! For that soil and all the conditions after 3-4 days and never had underwatering issues!
I checked though that with 3Lt of water i had a little bit of runoff just to take some measurements like ph and EC! So i usually water with 2.5Lt so no runoff at all
Last time i watered was 2 days ago, and due to signs of N deficiency, i fed today (after 2 days of pure watering), with 2Lt of water+nutes, and still no runoff, thats means that the plant drunk all the water (2,5Lt) in 2 days! I think i will keep watering after 2 days and i will use feed-feed-water-feed-feed-water schedule! Btw i dont have so much time to check things out because i already am at 70days, maybe i have 2-3 weeks until the end of the trip!
I feed with GHE liquid nutrients Grow-Micro-Bloom https://www.terraaquatica.com/mineral-fertiliser-solutions/tripart/ if you want to check the numberscover your topsoil next grow bro, gnats cause damage at the roots

ok for me its hard to establish from your photos because i cant tell whether they are light in color or if its your camera..I posted some pics a couple of days before, and @GNick55 also said that he sees N deficiency
Ok i will get some fresh pics i a while..ok for me its hard to establish from your photos because i cant tell whether they are light in color or if its your camera..
id move my plant into natural light to confirm colors
and i found your using gh, lots of people here running hydro nutes in soil with deficiencies. this is not where my experience lies so im gonna retreat a little and so what others are finding
This soil is a mix btw, it has also some peat moss for sure, and i have used the same in my previous crop with white widow, if you see at the 2nd page of this threads i have pictures!credit where it is due! you managed to get a plant to flower - with soil that doesn't drain so well. don't know how you did it. i've tried, didnt go well at all... pulled out most of my hair in the process
think there is a guideline for water retention being about 5-10% of pot volume. that's the guide I go by when testing water retention. much more than 15% then I found it is too heavy for the plant. mix in some stones, coco, peat moss next time if you can.
but that's just what I've learned in my short time growing. You are breaking all known natural laws here. you are like the bumble bee of growing. don't know how it works, but it does
peat has high water retention properties. coco will balance it outThis soil is a mix btw, it has also some peat
I follow the scheduleand your are feeding gh as per feeding chart?
