Looking a little better after cutting back on the watering. Grew about an inch this week. Cut off the first leaves, they looked poor and were not contributing to the health of the plant. Going to pot her up to her 7 gallon fabric pot home this week. Just had a big hatch out of fungus gnats in the past few days ( damn substrate had eggs in it ). Went from zero flies on the sticky traps to a hundred in a few days 😡. Have to eraticate these little buggers. I put down some diatom powder, but the flies are just having a dance party on it. Need to order some Bt. Man I really hate Efn Fungus Gnats!!!!! GRRRRRrrrrrrr.......

Grow Questions

DeaneRstarted grow question 5 years ago
My upper leaves? Is this light scald? Or a nutrient imbalance? This has been coming on over the last week. The older shaded fan leaves appear healthy. Also the one bud on the far leftside, furthest from the light is less affected. Her tent mate gets the same light and nutrients.😕

Hey dude, awesome photos and great grow to date👍. I’m seeing potentially 2, possibly 3 issues here but it depends on what your referring to and leads to a couple more questions. #1 - if ur talkn about the mild variation in leaf colouring it could be a slight light burn issue. given the height of your light though and the other thing I’m seeing, I doubt it. If top growth gets progressively paler and the edges and tips start to brown and crack yeah this is it but too early to tell at this point and height is good. I’m def. leaning towards a nutrient issue - lockout specifically. You’ve got minor initial signs of burnt tips. I think the fix (at least where you should start) could be simple too. Ur running your ph levels at 6.5 and have been for a number of weeks. In a coco medium this is an acceptable part of the range but definitely at the very top of it. I’d drop it back down to 6 and wait and see if the issue progresses. You recently added more nutes to the mix so it does make sense. A slight drop in ph might help the nute uptake and you may not need to dial back the concentration at all. Again, very early stages and either/or can be easily corrected at this point. Overall, the grow looks fantastic, really good call on the scrog nets attaching to the pots and best of luck through flower👍👊

Yes indeed. @CRiSPrGrow I'm hoping there is enough tissue still attached. No sign of leaf wilt yet so...fingers crossed. I broke a branch on this plant back in week 7. I wired it back in place with a pipe cleaner. You can see it in many of the photos, lol. It healed up fine.

I have heard neem oil is helpful. Hard to find in my area right now, all gardening stuff is put away for the winter. I'll have to find some online..

I like the addition of the VPD chart! It would definitely be helpful to track that info. My current grow had some fungus gnat issues as well. I did a few neem oil soil drenches to get at the larvae and tried a couple methods of covering the soil to keep the gnats from laying more eggs. (Clay pellets didn't work but plastic wrap did. I just wasn't comfortable leaving the wrap on long for fear of mould development) I think a layer of sand on the soil might have helped me. Apparently they can't burrow through the sand grains the way they do in soil. The diatomaceous earth should help break them down with time I believe?.. I didn't try it myself but will in the future if I experience gnat issues again. The methods I tried worked while I was using them but they are still around in small numbers because I didn't keep it up during the later flowering stages. Hopefully you can get it under control. They can be a bit frustrating. Best of luck with the grow!

@DeaneR, I'm not sure if it would have any influence, but I stopped using the neem when they reached flowering incase it might affect the smoke or flavor. But that was just a precaution. I did find the neem oil to work, but, it would really only slow things down cuz the adults would just lay more eggs. As you said, it best to have multiple measures for their different stages of life cycle or you will just go in circles. Maybe neem oil drench for soil and spray for foliage/surrounding, with covering of the soil if possible. And I'd personally still use the diatomaceous earth around the pots or anywhere they may land. Though perhaps a more experienced growers can offer a solution with more certainty. There's worse pests one could deal with, but they are a nuisance still. And it will delay my next grow because I want to do a thorough clean-up and wait after this run! It's all part of the learning experience for me at this point. I'm going to look into the BT-i you mentioned also.

@BigBudWolf, Thanks! Really need a two stage approach, kill the larvae in the soil, then the adults and prevent them from laying more eggs. Just when you think you got them, you open your tent and another fg enters from elsewhere in your home!👹 Thinking about trying Bt israelensis (Bt-i) – Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis. I've heard a 2" layer of play sand works well, but I top dress my soil with dry amendments...so that would be PITA. I guess I can be thankfull I"m far from flowering😦. Did the neem drench work well for you?

nice grow. love to see how the plants arw coming. i also have the same strain from crop king as was srruggling to find others on here that have good results with this strain. im at 11 weeks total with this being the flip week to 12/12 i think CKS or grow diary team should add the new releases from CKS to the menu. i saw ur post on another persons grow (same blue cookies) but to me they did a poor job in defoliation and the plant looks very weak to be so deep in flowering............u called BS on them promoting them to apprentice for 100 likes 😁😁😁

@Wadadli_Kush, I was saying that a promotion based on the number of likes is silly. Like a popularity contest. It was not directed towards anyone.

@DeaneR, ah okay i'm confusing him with an illuminated indian from a few hundred years ago, he used to confront local leaders non-violently in the name of social justice and if/when they responded he used to laugh in their face and pull on their earlobes, usually being successful in convincing them to change their ways like that. of course his earlobes were elongated from him pulling on his own earlobes (when in joy) . He traveled all over india, and they have statues of him that are absolutely massive especially in the South. 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, Actually his name was Quieci. But everyone called him “Budai”. He was supposedly a Buddhist Zen monk who lived in China over a thousand years ago. He was different from all other monks. Quieci was a jolly fellow. He often laughed whole heartily and reminded everyone to enjoy life and stay happy. He was very much loved. Budai always had a great big smile on his face. That is why he is best known by his nickname “Laughing Buddha”.

It is easy to overwater when they're young like that. They look healthy though. The problem I got into is that I was REALLY cautious with the water and probably underwatered for several weeks. Then I was root-bound and didn't realize it. Things are chugging along now.

@@Jondalar, I need to get accustomed to growing at these higher humidity levels. Normally I start my peppers from seed at this time of year, indoors (my house is about 20%RH), and they dry out much faster than the higher humidity levels in the tent. I see your girls are doing well!👍

Your plants look about right for that time period. I think you had some more vigorous pistol growth than I did. Maybe that means you will get bigger buds. The fan leaves on this strain smell different than the buds I would say. The fan leaves smell very much like citrus to me. The buds I don't know.

Looking good. Has anyone suggested NEEM oil to treat bugs?
