seedling struggling2wk old Strawberry Milk&Qookies in a 5g airpot. Been fighting fungus gnats for 3 months (they came in a bag of dirt I ordered) so I tried adding a layer of perlite and Diatomaceous Earth to try to keep them out & spraying with Monterey Garden Spray. Humidity maybe low? Help!

Recycling Soil between growsCan I get some opinions about recycling soil? I started off with a mix of FoxFarm Ocean Forest & Happy Frog Coco, Perlite, worm castings and a 1/4 cup of diatomaceous earth. Break up the old roots then soak it with Recharge & mycorrhizae and a new brick of coco.Other. General questions

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?Leaves. Too many

Veg / Flower switch?Listening to Kushman say that indoor growers switch a plant from veg to flower. Confused. I just waited for my plant to show hairs, then I changed FF bottles. Am I missing something? Did I leave her in veg too long so that's why she's over 40" at 6 weeks? First grow, don't knowPlant. Other

Plant stakes for heavy branches???Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.3 years ago

BEHEMOTH outgrowing DIY SpaceMy autoflower has become a BEHEMOTH. It is now over 34" at 37 days?? DIY space only 2x3 floor and 7 feet high. Is this normal? It's a race to keep the light 8+ inches away. Not a heat issue (GREAT LIGHT) but concerned that this may not be growing correctly.Week 5

Broken BranchMy 5 week old was getting a little too tall for the space she is in, so I went to see if I could lightly tie down the outer branches. I barely touched it. It didn't totally come off, but mostly. I wrapped it with surgical tape and supported it with a stick. Can she be saved?Plant. Stem - Weak
