can i touch the pistils?

hi

ive been flowering for 3 weeks now - pistils are coming out lots of them, my question is, a couple annoying fungus gnats crawled, and died like "inside" the bud formation where all the pistils come out. i used a piece of paper to flick it out of there. i didnt damage anything but was it ok to do that?

if you didn't damage anything i'm sure it's fine, but keep in mind you try and prevent the gnats instead of fighting them

agreed - i put sand in the pot now. i just tore a tiny strip off a regular sheet and paper and just poked it out. nothing looked damaged externally

No damage?

Go Gnats works well too. Here they are almost impossible to keep away completely but with Go Gnats and fly paper it helps a lot. Just lay the flypaper over the plants pot where they like to hang out.The fly paper will tell you if you have any that the Go Gnats didn't take care of or they are new plus it kills them. If you get a significant infestation put slices of fresh potato on top of the grow medium and toss them daily. You will see larvae crawling around so you know you're doing some good.
