hey guys, I am new here but have been reading on this forum for some months and finaly decided to sign up.. I started growing for medicinal reasons and right now i could use some help from people with some more experience than me.


this is my 3rd grow, I am using 2x 600 watt hps lamps and Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect Line. i ordered different strains to choose the best that might suit best for me. these were:


- brothers grimm C99

- delicious seeds cotton candy

- bodhi seeds Lavender Aura

- Elemental seeds Mango Tango

- Dank Genetics Sour lemonade



My problem is that i found out last week that i have fungus gnats and i am allready in week 8 flower and the suckers allready did some damage to my plants.. i watered a 50/50% water/hydrogen peroxide mix 5 days ago but the pots are still very heavy and it seems to me the plants are not drinking water.

also i notice on some plants the leaves are very dark green and bud formation seems to have stopped. i also noticed today that i have spider mites... also the plants dont really smell, i dont even have installed my carbon filter and outside the tent smell is allnost non existent or maybe its just my nose LOL. I am really upset about this, 2 weeks ago i also got the news that my grandmother has cancer and i really was interested in doing some RSO to give her...

here are some pictures : i think they stopped blooming because they look the same as last week and are not really sweling up

Probably too many nutes

yes it could be possible as I was feeding full strenght.. maybe it was too much for some of them... what if I just water plain water from now on? would there still be a chance of them recovering?

No theyre burnt..yes use plain water at proper ph... Do what you did again but cut it all in half.

I am confused. they are burnt but I should keep watering with ph'd water instead of throwing them away or harvesting or whatever? I mean if they are allready screwed maybe there's no need to let it go much longer due to energy costs.. do you mean do the grow from the beginning again?

Why would you throw them away they can still recover burnt leaves wont be healthy again but what is there can be saved and you can get some decent smoke out of it, you are at week 8 of flowering wouldn’t throwing them away be a much bigger waste of energy?

Just use water till chop... Next time you grow use half the nutes

I have one more question, I saw spider mites in 2 or 3 plants.. should this be a concern now or am I to close to harvest for the mites to do some noticeable damage?
