First grow

Not such a smooth week this week. Started off with a pretty apparent Mg deficiency in Candy Kush. I determined the cause of the issue after I had already watered on Monday morning, so I had to wait until Wednesday evening to water with the new CalMag nutes. Around Wednesday night I noticed a small insect flying around. By Thursday evening, it became apparent that I have fungus gnats in Speedy Chile. I see very few gnats flying around, so I think I may have caught it early. I rolled down the lip of my fabric pots to allow more airflow to dry the topsoil. I also needed to water this evening, so I used only 750mL instead of the 1L that I have used in the last few weeks and I watered from the bottom only to allow the topsoil to stay dry, hopefully killing any larvae. I'll follow the same procedure for the next week or so until I stop seeing adult gnats. In spite of these couple setbacks, the plants seem like they're doing ok. I noticed the first trichomes on Sunday on both plants and the buds are starting to grow together on Candy Kush, so I'm hoping for some nice fat buds off that one. Speedy Chile is pretty leggy with a lot of internodal space, so I'm curious to see how it will finish up. Fingers crossed that these little hiccups go away over the next week. I'm hoping for a mid-November harvest to be done curing by the holidays.
