So Iam currently at my first grow.(Week 6) I need someone with experince to take a look at some picture, and then guide me from there. So i have a few Things that seems of.

Btw. Iam growing 9 Shishkaberry plants in biobizz all star mix in a 5x5 with a lumatek zues 600w pro LED 2.9 at 50% power. I have good airflow. Temp and hymidithy is 24 celcius and 60%.

1. i have a bit of yellowing in the new growth. Look the pictures.

2. I have noticed very dark leafes an leaves curling mostly down. I think i might be nitrogen toxicty. any guides on this aspriciated! I seems to get lost in this nutrients deficiancies

3. I started to deal with fungus gnats with neem oil and it help, but there seems to be somthing hiding eating a littlebit every day and i can´t find it XD it making me go nuts.

Overall I think they look pretty good.

1. New growth is almost always a lighter green color than mature growth. Completely normal and expected.

2. Yep, sounds like Nitrogen toxicity. Back off the nutes for a bit

3. Bah! Critters!!! Death to them all!!! Buy some lady bugs?

Neem oil doesn’t do much against gnats. Get some diatomaceous earth and sprinkle it in the top layer of soil; that’ll kill any larvea. Get yellow sticky traps to catch the flying fuckers. Brew up an aactea for your plants; they will be praying to you. Plants look ok to me but aacts will fix pretty much anything before it becomes a problem …even if there’s nothing wrong

thanks for your reply.

Allright i will try out since using the neem oil only reduces the amount of gnats. i guess its because it only kill the knats not the larvea.

will it have any effect on ph or any thing i have to be aware when using diatomaceous earth? Does it work on other pests?

Thanks for your reply. I can relax a little bit more know

When staying off nutes, by that you mean completely cut of any nutrients? or is there any specific nutrient that causes this excess nitrogen i can cut out. I use a complete series A, B, X, Y and Z from Big Plant Science.

Another question i forgot to put in there.
Those side branches on the colas, some poeple call them blood suckers. Same branches you make clones from. When do i stop removing them?

Thanks for your reply and help

If you are suffering from N toxicity, it doesn't really look like it in your pics. To me they look fine.

I don't know anything about Big Plant Science nutes, but if you do in fact have too much N, I would probably just cut out all the nutes until the problem subsided. Water + 1/2 strength CalMag until they bounce back, but again, I think they look fine. Any pics of specific leaves that are too dark and curling?

What side branches? lol, All I see is tops in your pics. At this point I'd just let them grow out, and then remove lowers as you see fit during the first 1/2 of flowering, roughly speaking. Also, IMO, lowers are not the best for taking cuts. I much prefer to take cuts from the tops where the growth is soft and pliable. You can definitely take cuts anywhere, but I've found those scrawny lowers, that also tend to harden off, aren't the best place to take cuts.

Plants look fine, stop looking so closely

Here is a picture of those iam talking about Those to small ones right under the top. I saw a few youtuber reefer to them as blodsuckers. Do i keep removing them all the way thruogh or do i at any point let them grow out?

Also you can use cinnamon to control fungus gnats, just turn your fan(s) off sprinkle and scratch into the soil and it will end your gnat issues.
