Mid-Flower Feeding

[@bobthebricklayer]

Hey guys I’m on day 21 of flowering my first grow, Northern Lights photoperiods in soil. The place I got the seeds from (ILGM) mentions a flowering time of 7-9 weeks, so I was wondering when I should top dress for the last time, in order for the plants to be able to use up the nutrients before harvest. I last fed them a week before flipping them.

On a side note, I also have had fungus gnats pop up in the last couple weeks. I’m using a combination of yellow sticky traps, neem oil and a fan blowing across the top of the pots and they seem to be reducing the population but they’re definitely still present. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks!

I wouldnt suggest neem oil during flower, but im not a pro. I also have a couple gnats using sticky pads n fan. The dont eat the leaves or anything so as long as i keep the population down i dont see them harming anything. Also have plants cleared a good 6 inches from top of soil to bottom of canopy

Do your top dress now.. Microbe Lift for fungus gnats.

I've been using this stuff for a few months, but it hasn't seemed to phase the gnats whatsoever.

How much and how often? I use a "squirt" every time I water or feed.. Gnats are gone!

I was using 4 drops per 30 gallons, but I bumped it up to 5 the last few weeks. Maybe I'll double that and see what happens.
