Budget Auto Grow

I really struggled over the past couple weeks with fungus gnats and some small white aphids invading my soil. I’m pretty sure they came in with some hay I tried to use as water retention top dressing. I tried organic pesticides, diatomaceous earth, and sticky traps to no avail. I let the pots dry up til the plants nearly died, which is why they look like shit. In the end, a wolf spider actually moved into my tent and I believe her and her offspring have eaten most of the pests. It’s the circle of life baby. Either way, learned a lesson there. These plants still have a ton of clear trichomes and we’re working on week 12 now. Hoping they’ll mature over the next week or two because the leaves are starting to die off. If it comes to an early chop, I’ll have to either have some middy flower, or make some sort of concentrate from them.
