First of all, if you're fighting fungus gnats, there's a really REALLY simple solution and I GUARANTEE will work... get yourself some Mosquito Bits (Amazon has them or any plant/garden center)... follow the instructions about soaking the granules in water for 30 minutes, skim off the granules and then use that water for your water/feed... This solved my problem almost instantly but if you've got a bigger problem, you may need to do this once a week for 3 weeks... BUT. IT. WORKS. I tried to look at your diary but it seems you've not kept it up so it's really hard to tell what's going on... so here are a couple of questions/suggestions: 1. Flush... Flush, flush, flush!! When in doubt, FLUSH! But be aware that if you're dealing with fungus gnats, this will only give them more steam - they love wet soil - just use the Mosquito Bits for your final gallon or two of flush and this will take care of them. 2. Have you ever checked your PH? Both input and run off? Checking the ph and making sure that both input and runoff is within acceptable levels is a must... 3. Your ladies are in flower... but your diary, since it's not up-to-date, does not say what you're feeding them. I am definitely leaning towards nitrogen toxicity - ladies in flower do not want loads of nitrogen... knock that back, give them only bloom nutes! Again, a really good flush will help this tremendously. They are definitely crying for help - but I think everything is manageable... Get yourself the Mosquito Bits, do a really good ph'd flush, knock back on your nitrogen levels in the nutes and I think they'll reward you with all kinds of love.... Good luck!

Sorry guys I should've included more info. This one isn't in my diary. This guy is just what I was growing from bag seeds. I have checked for seeds as I thought I was seeing them so I thought she went hermie. Can't find any seeds. I was overwatering for a while during veg as I was using a cheap moisture meter bought off amazon. Always said it was dry so I just kept watering. How I ended up with fungus gnats. My water is a 6.2 going in. I've never flushed to measure what's coming out but my soil pH meter reads 5.7. I'm gonna stop at my local grow shop on the way home to see if they have the mosquito bits and give that a try. The buds are getting fat and sticky and seem like they are still in good health so far. The remaining gnats are living in the basin at the bottom of the pot. I used the chemical pest killer and soaked the top two inches of soil and then let her dry out completely for a couple days and that seemed to kill everything in the soil. Now I'm just left with the ones under the pot. Gonna try raising the lights another couple inches as well. Thanks for your help everyone! Your all awesome!

Looks root bound to me and maybe a little over watering the leaves curling like that is a good sign of over watering. The hairs turning looks like your light might be a little too close to your plant hope that helps

Looks like over watering with nitrogen tox. Make sure it’s fungus gnats and not thrips
