Plant are not eating at all

[rkymtnman]

Hi all
Just wanted to give you small update so far nothing is changed they still not eating BUT i found out that i have a tiny blackish insects in my buckets when i opened up one of them 2-3 started to fly around , any idea how to get rid of them ? i have feeling they are part of my problem

damn, man that's 2 problems i've never had in my growing:
1. not eating after a flush
2. bugs in the buckets. (i've had spider mites once but you can't see them with the naked eye)

got me on that one. just be careful whatever you use is not toxic. don't want that to get in your buds.

are they still drinking I hope?

Nope water level goes down really slow but i think thats just evaporation

after i harvested my spider mite plants, i used whole room foggers. i would NOT use them in your situation.

i guess you need to figure out what they are first. wish i could help you more.

Yup
I added filter sock to catch all the crap in system after h2o2 dip , and i cleaned it already like 5 times , it catches lot of maggots

so the question is , do i leave those 2 trees to see if they recover or i get rid of them now ?

i'm guessing all of them had the gnats?
i always try to save mine; you'll never know what you'll learn in doing so.

maybe start the next batch of seeds and get them ready?

 

[rkymtnman]

did you figure out how you got them?

like i said, i had spider mites once and i got them from one clone that i bought and added to my system that already had healthy plants.

Yup
So since its a tent i cant really use AC so i added 6 inch air duct to pull air form outside (so im pulling air form outside and pushing inside air with another 6 inch carbon filter )and didn't cover the intake with mesh or some type of filter also couple of times when it was too hot i left tent open for couple of hours with ac on in the room .

i would fumigate the heck out of your tent and bleach everything in the tent too. try to get it as sterile as possilbe befrore the next round starts.
