The little flies are gnats, they lay eggs in the top, moist, 1" of mediums like coir or soil. They don't specifically attack the cannabis but they will eat the roots to get to what they're actually looking for. Make sure the soil is drying out to an inch depth. If you can't get rid of them that way without making them too thirsty (bad during flower), try topdressing with diatomaceous earth, but be aware that it has very high pH and needs to be used sparingly. https://www.growweedeasy.com/fungus-gnats

@Jaindoh, Thanks for the info. I looked up fungus gnats, after reading the link you provided, and decided the first treatment I will try will be hydrogen peroxide. 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water. I'll try the diatomaceous earth if that doesn't work. Thanks.

Cloudy trichs are hit and miss, so don’t be concerned. Cap color is more indicative of maturity level, and remember they will continue to mature a bit after harvest. Only your GSC2 has begun ambering. They’re not ready by my criteria, but you may like it differently. Harvested mostly clear, your high will be energetic and of short duration, and there are times I enjoy that high. At half amber you will be very stoned. Enjoy

Check for the trichs on your buds not the sugar leaves. the ones on the leaf are more mature than the ones on the bud :)

@IronWeedLady, Thanks

Yeah a lot of times the intensity of the stretch growth will leave them a bit deficient. Should be good to go =)

Training doing great. Not sure about your nutrient line, but I add Potassium Silicate (Armor Si by GH) during these phases; the vigor in the stems and sturdiness for training goes through the roof. Also great for the roots and keeping insects, heat, cold from shocking the plant. Soil already has silica in it, which helps, but I'm not sure of the content in FFOF. Your line may already have potassium silicate in it, and you can definitely get away without it, but would definitely recommend if you want to train this heavily. Not sure if you will be able to add it, but it's worth looking into. Looking great =)

@Jaindoh, Thanks, I'll definitely look into Potassium Silicate.

The LST looks like it's working great. Looking forward to see how great this ends up.

@BucketBrigade, The plants really take to training. This is my first grow for cannabis, but not my first time training a plant. Trying this with my vegetable garden would be extremely frustrating. lol

@Jaindoh, Thanks for the welcome. I'm going to use 5-gallon fabric pots with FFOF with perlite added. My goal is to grow three of these lady's to completion. The only thing I'll a little concerned about is my Girl Scout Cookie #1. Unlike the others, all it has is its first leaves (cotyledons I think they're called) and no "true" leaves. Its the odd one out. Is it just delayed or is there something wrong with it?

What I gathered about more affordable dehumidifiers sadly was poor. I ended up dropping over 300 bucks on a 300w rated for like 400-500 sq feet. Thing is, it's worth it's weight in gold. The density you get from 45% over 65% is no joke. Not having to worry about mold to the same degree. It was a stretch on my budget but I haven't regretted it a bit.

Jaindohcommented6 years ago

@Legoman, amazing! SCORE!

Legomancommented6 years ago

@Jaindoh, I just got a 800w from craigslist for $25 😄 lol.

I have the same problem with tiny gnats. My friend also has had issues with them. We found that it was the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil mix they were coming from.... i hit them late evening with neem oil. Dont see quite so many after treatment

Newbie_Growercommented6 years ago

@Legoman, it will need to be pretty strong to work. Over the counter peroxide isn't really strong enough. And remember it will kill all of the good stuff in the soil too. I started using Natural Organics Soil, Perlite and Mushroom compost. I am hoping to get the rest of the pest as I harvest. I pulled one today and have it a hangin. Once my tent is clear i'll bleach wipe the entire surface.

Legomancommented6 years ago

@Newbie_Grower, I'm also using Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Seems to be a lot of options to deal with them. I'm starting with the hydrogen peroxide because I already have some on hand.
