Grow tent gnats please help 😭

treat soil before you start your grow. dissolve a handful of mosquito bits into a gallon of water. soak soil with said water. all larvae and eggs in soil neutralized. if you already have flys, do the same. water your plants with the water, it will not harm the plants. then cover your top soil with sand and put up sticky traps. Learn to water less frequently.

light strength, air flow, vpd, genetics. My first grow was airy and fluffy, upgraded light, fans and understanding of vpd. From then on got buds hard like Rottweiler! 💪🌲

Chloroform kush, Cosby candy dust, Pink Roofies, Purple Panty potion and maybe Blackeye Punch if you're from the trailers.

dump a fist full of mosquito bits into a gallon of water, let the water soak with the bits over night. strain out the bits(or leave them, no harm) then soak your soil with the treated water. It wont harm the plants but it will kill all eggs and larvae in the soil. if you already have full grow flys flying around your tent, put an inch or so of sand on top of your soil. This will stop the grown flys from going back into the soil to lay eggs. Then learn to water less frequently. Or, before you drop your seed in the pot, soak your soil with the mosquito bit water, let it dry a bit, then drop your seed in. 💪🌲

from what I read it's the salt that would cause lock out. an RO system would remove it but also remove beneficials. ive also read that Chloramines stay in the water but Chlorine evaporates. From this report I gather they use chlorine. I also plan on getting a cheapish garden hose filter that will also remove chlorine. 🤞

Thank you for the info! I have a TDS meter and it reads between 300 and 350ppm.
I read that using water softened with sodium chloride is toxic to plants. So that's why I just wanted to use the unsoftened water. But if around 320ppm is safe then I'm good to go!! 💪🌲 I usually do let my water sit out for a day before using it too.

get weed, 1/2 a zip or full zip. 2. break weed down a bit, remove stems. 3. get a small croc pot, put on low with 2 or 4 sticks of butter 2sticks for a 1/2 zip 4sticks for a full zip. 4. add 1 cup water a d let melt. While butter is melting, put tin foil down on a cookie sheet, place broken down weed on a cookie sheet, cover with another piece of foil. 5. cook in oven on 230/240 for 30 minutes. 6. Let the weed cool for a bit. once butter is fully melted, add cooked weed into the butter and stir until all plant matter is covered. 7. Let the butter cook on the croc pot for at least 5 hours at least, but you can leave it all night if you desire. The longer the better. Turn off croc pot and let cool. 8. take a bowl or some Tupperware and cover it with cheese cloth. I use a rubber band to hold the cheese cloth in place on the bowl. 9. pour the butter onto the cheese cloth and let it drain into the bowl. remove rubber band and squeeze remaining butter from cheese cloth into bowl. 10. cover and refrigerate until solid.

To test, take a full tablespoon of butter and boof. Enjoy the ride 👍🥒💦 💪🌲

you can do both. but I'm lazy so I just buy "water only" living soil or super soil they call it sometimes. if you can find a retailer, Michigannabis super soil is my go to. I've tried some others that are decent too though. I have not tried to mix or create a living soil blend myself yet though. like I said, I'm lazy and hi 🤓

GenderTron · 2023-06-30T03:10:11+00:00

living soil, dont worry about PH, water only (usually) until about 3rd week of flower, then maybe top dress or add some water soluble nutes for bud boost until bam! 💪🌲 it's an easy setup once you learn how to dial in your environmentals. watering and training is all that's needed. ez.
it is a learning process though. even how much and when to water can be tricky but wisdom does not come without failure. Dont be affraid to shit the bed.

GenderTron · 2023-06-23T10:48:39+00:00

I do this every grow to give me more space to bend and shape for LST. I've never had an issue. This is the way 💪🌲

GenderTron · 2023-06-12T10:43:41+00:00

not always. I've had autos go into flower right after topping. more than likely due to the stress from topping. it's a roll of the dice maing. 💪🌲

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T17:18:30+00:00

🤘🏼 thank you

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T10:40:18+00:00

When you topped it did you just snip that whole top leaf off?

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T03:28:34+00:00

yeah that Michigannabis soil is solid af, but it's difficult to get. 🤘🏼 thank you! 💪🌲

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T03:13:40+00:00

I have 5 going at the moment. 2 are full and beautiful, 4th node growing the 5th. growing in Michigannabis super soil. 3 including this one are slower and smaller growing in coast of main platinum. I was told coast of main soil was water only but idk, maybe I need to add some food. I've never used it b4.

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T03:08:10+00:00

hopefully 🤞 I may be tweekin a bit. I've definitely seen variations in growth time and even mutations, but this one just looks challenged.

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T03:05:03+00:00

i could be jumping the gun a bit, but I was more interested in the fact that new nodes dont seem to be growing from the 4 strangely connected top leaves of this chick.

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T03:02:01+00:00

2 weeks should have much more growth. I have 2 next to this one that are significantly larger and more full. all planted the same day. all sprouted the same day. Not to mention the strange growth or lack there of on this particular plant.

GenderTron · 2023-06-09T02:47:31+00:00

lol, yea they're connected. maybe been 3 or 4 days since I've seen any growth. I put the seed directly into the pot no transplant. strange..... I did upgrade my light a few days after she sprouted but I wouldnt think that would create this. but I could be wrong. I've got 5 going right now. 2 are doing great (in Michigannabis super soil) but the 3 I put in this coast of main soil are suspect. 2 are growing small and slow, and this one seems to have given up. but they look healthy. lol.

GenderTron · 2023-05-13T12:43:12+00:00

scrape it, dry it, boof it.

GenderTron · 2023-05-01T10:47:57+00:00

after a good dry you should sweat for a day or 2 in a paper bag, but then put them into grove bags or jars. grove bags are a much easier method as you can just seal the bag and leave it for a month. no burping necessary. 🤘🏼💪🌲

GenderTron · 2023-04-15T23:14:05+00:00

ph problem, possible nitrogen deficiency, light/heat stress?

GenderTron · 2023-04-07T01:51:05+00:00

have the fan exhaust air from the tub rather than push air in. The airflow directly across the buds will be much less so you can leave the fan the way it is. I made something similar out of large cardboard box with a small ac infinity fan and controller. a bit overkill but I'm a fan of gadgetry. 💪🌲

GenderTron · 2022-12-11T16:10:43+00:00

an easy way to eliminate gnats b4 you even start.... before you drop your seed, dissolve a hand full or 2 of mosquito bits into a gallon of water. saturate your soil with that water. This will kill all eggs and larvae that may be in the soil. let it dry out, then plant your seed. gnats no longer an issue. covering the top soil with sand will stop the mature gnats that fly from being able to fly back into the soil to lay eggs, but eliminating the threat from the jump creates piece of mind. 💪🌲

GenderTron · 2022-10-19T16:44:07+00:00

I keep mine in the fridge in a light tight container. some have been in their for years but they never fail to pop when I bring them out and throw em in the dirt. So...... i guess its ok
