Purple Urkle Clones

Coming along.. Buds growing. I tried the Green Cleaner for the PM and it worked! The PM washes right off the leaves and doesn't appear to come back. I wish I could say the same for the gnats. The yellow sticky paper keeps collecting the little bugs. I even tried the diatomaceous earth in the soil. I learned that putting this on the soil within a day or two of watering will net you a white mud on top of your soil. After a couple days the soil is dry enough on top to keep the fresh layer of DE dry. Right away, I noticed the little black gnats crawling on the white DE so I was hopeful. After another couple days, I had to water which rendered the white DE to mud again. I also replaced the yellow sticky traps. Today is the day after watering and I noted there are a few bugs stuck to the traps. So, a few days with the DE on the soil did not kill all of them. I'll try again. I think I mitigated the problems from the plant growing into the light; I simply bent over the main stem from the tallest plant and have been sort of training it to bend over a bit. This has resulted in some clearance between the plant and the light. Plants do not seem to suffer from it so I think I'm good.
