I watered with Mosquito Bits today for the 2nd day, and used a Fly zapper with lights off, 99 percent of the population is wiped the fuck out. Any other tips on how to maintain the soil larvae free, will this affect my harvest, do I have to throw them in the garbage and start again. I’m into hydroponics so I never got this problem before. Are there precautions or something you water the plants with every time to prevent mast GNATS and larvae. Seems like the mosquito bits water is working effectively I also sprayed and mixed it with soil @MaryJaneUSA,

Hi budd! If you are looking for some "bio" ways against those nasty gnats or fruitflies, try out some left over RED wine in containers around your grow area. Another great one is: pour apple cider vinegar with a little soap in a jar and place it in the area you think is gnat overloaded. The vinegar attract the flies, when they hit the solution the soap prevents them from flying out! Happy growing/huntimg :)

hey Mate... whoever told you to use baking soda and soap.. don’t listen to that person anymore lol. If I were you, I’d flush the shit out of the SOIL AND PLANTS. If you sprayed baking soda and soap on the plants itself, certainly you’ll see direct consequences from the plants... but most of them look like they have root diseases as you have mentioned about the larvae..

Hey mate are my LED lights in week 4 too high? I feel like my plants could be way bigger, any tips? I have ropes should I use them ?! @drgreentips,

@drgreentips, Thank you for the support

I'll be watching mate

😈@Fast_Buds,

Hey there! Thanks so much for growing our genetics =) Good luck with your LSD-25 and Gorilla Glue 🙌🏼 Let us know if you need any assistance Happy Growing! 💚🌱

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks mate that was very helpful

@DILLIGAF. Thank you mate that was helpful

Hey there, hope I answered your question, anything else you need just let me know 👊🏻

@Michealangelo Hi mate i just popped in a solution to your grow question You should never use plastic bags to cure let alone store weed See above for more details 👆

@michealangelo, good catch on your ph. It needs to be between 6.2-6.4. Check your run off water with a ppm and ph reader and see what it truly is. Meaning, when you give water to your plant and the water drains from the pot, that’s the water you should check. You need a ppm reader mate. If you can invest in a a good ppm and ph reader it’ll be great for your future. Ppm at 126 is quite good for tap water. So ppm stands for parts per million and higher the number, higher the concentration = more minerals. But something about tap water is they have chloride and chloride is not good for plants (or so they say but I used to use tap water and it was fine). To increase the ppm you need to add nutrients like liquid fertilizers. Fertilizers have minerals. If you add them in the water, the ppm will go up. To know how much ppm you’re adding to the total output, you need a ppm reader. Also, should you see if you could add One Shot? For your first grow? In my opinion, absolutely. This grow is all about experiment and getting to know about the plants, knowing their symptoms, growing culture, every thing! Don’t worry too much because it will give you buds no matter what you do (unless you just straight f it up and that’s hard lol). I hope it helps mate.

Happy growing man... I personally don't suggest any "long-term" slow feed nutrients because look at its NPK ratio of Miracle-Gro Performance Organics: it's 9-2-7. The ratio is recommended for vegetation but cannabis has its specifics of NPK during vegetation and during flowering. slow releasing nutrients are good to a certain point but you really can't control the NPK ratio that cannabis needs versus Trio products such as micro, grow, bloom. You're also growing indoor and temperature is very high. With miracle grow, you won't be able to control its PPM either. Remember, during high heat, cannabis is more prone to heat burns and gets easy nute burn as well. Remember, during vegetation, you need high N, low P, high K. During flowering, you need low N, high P, high K. Of course, individual plant will ask for individual needs but that's why we have to assess our plants and implement its needs accordingly. Autoflowers are time sensitive and as a grower, you need to do your best to vegetate as much as you can. Generally, ruderalist vegetate for about 3-5 weeks before switching to flowering. If you mess up during vegetation, the outcome will be poor. Bigger the plant: bigger the buds. 700 PPM at week 1 will certainly destroy, if not, atomize your babies lol. And your temperature is high, imagine that? babies are more prone to stress, especially if the environment is not met! Soil has enough minerals to keep your babies going for about the first week. 700PPM is way too much. What's your PPM on the tap water? higher the PPM on the tap water, less room you have for your nutrients. PPM in the tap water accounts for all the natural minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Many growers use Reverse Osmosis water because PPM is usually less than 20 and in that sense, you have more room to add nutrients, therefore, a better control of what you're putting into. Lot of information but cannabis is very sensitive and specific to its needs. Take this grow as a learning lesson. We've all been there. Cheers mate :)
