F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leaves
jeannoTapinstarted grow question 2y ago
Hey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?

Hi there fellow grower..With my outdoor grow, there was plenty of different bugs attacking my buds lol...especially during flowering..unfortunately we can't use pesticides or anything like that! But a hidden secret is...Coffee Grounds hehe...I know it sounds crazy! But it really works! ..try it...Or even grind up some fresh coffee beans and mix it into your top soil...You will thank me later 😉

Dozens would not take long to get off by hand with a nice pointed tweezer. It depends on how many dozens you’re talking about here obviously but a few dozen, pick what you can, smoke the rest.
Smoked my fair share of bugs stuck to my outdoor grows especially. Taste like chicken. Lol
Adding the risk to get mold far scarier than a flew bugs going up in flames.

Autoflowers with high humidity during night and rot, any solutions for high rh?Hello everyone, today I woke with a plant rot on some parts, that due to the high humidity it got during the night, 88% and 18 celsius.
What are the cheap and effective ways you do to prevent rot?
I was thinking of switching from 18/6 to 24/0 but I don´t want to stress them.

How long left until I can harvest or flush?Hey, first time grower here. It's been almost 9 weeks since she started, on the seed this one is supposed to be ready for harvest in about 8/9 weeks.
She is really small, didn't really grow well but I'm seeing a lot of brown pistils and the end of leaves is yellow.
Thanks!Week 8

Will she get fatter?Will the buds fatten up more or is this as thick as she’ll get? Perfectly content, just don’t wanna chop her too soon if there’s some time by the end of her life where the buds blow up. 😇 In week 11 flower - strain is supposed to be 9-10 weeks flower. Trichs not amber yet.5y ago
