Hi CHG, ya I'm expecting some males. I think one of the plants is dieing anyway as it looks very rough. I was hoping to have 4 girls to flower. I've heard of neem oil but never rosemary for stopping the gnats. I'll have to try the oil if they get worse, thanks. I'm using promix HP which always seems to have gnats, not a biggie imo.
Sorry- slang for beneficial bacteria/fungus/algae that makes happy roots
I suppose you could make your own. I've always just bought mine at the local grow store. Comes in a big pump spray bottle ready to go, and lasts forever for like $15. It's a weak solution of like 5-10% oils emulsified in "other ingredients" (water)... i guess gnats are really common, and not a big deal if managed to xmall numbers. It's only when there are crazy infestations where they can actually hurt your roots a significant amount to make a difference. Sticky traps and the occasional spray of the topsoil has worked perfect for me!ThanksSo would a person mix that Rosemary/Neem oil like, 50/50 or something? I like the Rosemary in there. Don't need it right now, but I have a section in my notes for "Recipes". The more you know...

judging by the growth overnight they are mostly happy campers. Perhaps there are other things I need to do for them but for now things are going ok, thanks Chg.Relax- you're doing fine! Those levels sounds good. They look okay, i was seeing a potential slight ph stress, but might not be. Sorry if i freaked you out! Lol If they're greening up, that's obviously a good thing! Keep the same approximate watering schedule, making sure to let them dry out pretty good between waterings.
Yeah, i noticed you're almost 90% rh lol. I think 65% during veg and 45-50% during flowering is the sweet spot. The plants probably don't mind it, but anything over 75-80% could create mold issues down the road. I also struggled with my rh for the first couple grows until i pulled the trigger on a bigger humidifier with a built in humidistat. Life changing, and was only like $80 on Amazon... your girls look super happy! Keep up the good work!!judging by the growth overnight they are mostly happy campers. Perhaps there are other things I need to do for them but for now things are going ok, thanks Chg.ps. I really need a proper controller for the humidity, manually adjusting it blows as it keeps changing.View attachment 4292044![]()
Hey Dayzt welcome abroad. Those yellow strips are for the tiny flies I get from the promix hp soil. Holy crop! Your plants look amazing, I might have to go hydro one of these grows.
Can they still live even if the bag was outside in this cold?I have a bag scared to use it now lol.
ya, I've got fans in the tent moving air gently around. Every bag of promix I've ever used (5 in total) had gnats...again, so great to be here! That's what I thought (yellow sticky tags) - looks like you maybe started with some older promix..? As you've mentioned, going hydro takes care of those sorts of issues - and also isn't quite as messy (not that yours is messy - just from my experience going from soil to water..) when setting up, repotting etc.. Do you have any fans running in your tent?
ya, I've got fans in the tent moving air gently around. Every bag of promix I've ever used (5 in total) had gnats.I let the humidity drop during the dark cycle in an attempt to prevent mold. The thing that worries me with going hydro is cleaning the system every week or two. That cleaning sounds hard on the back muscles.[/QUOTE
So putting bag outside in the cold doesn’t kill them? You could use the oven and bake them out. Haha.
