20 plants dieing leaves curling down HELP ASAP

Hey JL, yes I do love hash. Never heard of soap bar. Do you mean hash with opium in it? I know that taste a little like soap.

but yea the place i order from just messed that up no biggie there giving me the macro for free so. Ill use the 3 blend on them when it comes in. there not due for a feeding for 2 weeks anyways

Two weeks huh? Are you watering once a week? How much are you giving them?

I water and feed per ur method. till water flows out the bottom. Ive never flushed them

How are you deciding when it is time for water? And how much nutes are you giving them?

i give them whats the bottle directs. 2tablespoons per gallon of water for each nute. I water them when the bucket is light and there dry. they only need watered once a week or so. the soil holds water pretty well, i will be using the foxfarms dirt most likely from now on. or this stuff ive used for seedlings that works great its got peat moss and some other things in it

What stage are you doing? The bottle says 2 teaspoons per gal? The watering sounds great. One week is the most I like to go between waterings. Any more than that I think they stay wet to long. I try for 3 to 4 days between, any less and the pot is to small. Any longer and the pot is to big. I try not to give mold and other bad shit time to start growing.

Check out these 2 programs. This would be more more like a soil application. Do you have the other GH stuff for one of their programs?

ok a few more our curling down and they haven't been watered for at least a week and our about needing a watering. 1 plant has the claw with a very slite yellow burn at the tips of the fan leaves

but its still only that one thats really bad with the claw

Now was that a typo or are you giving them 2 tablespoons per gallon??

2tsp per gallon of water is what they get

ohh and i saw 1 little nat flying around in the room. I checked every plant with a 10x loop on back sides of leaves and everything saw nothing. so i dunno

They get in the dirt and get at the roots.

The drain to waste program is 1 tsp per gallon. That is like soil. The bottle is the hydro mix. The leaf tips sound like nute burn. Not saying for sure but that is the start of it.

no shit how do i kill them then

Taken from the plant problem guide:

Fungus gnats like to feed on roots of the plants and organic matter. Adults and larvae live in moist, shady areas. The adults lay there eggs on top of the soil, near the base of the stem and takes about 4 days to hatch. The larvae will start by eating the root hairs of the plant then working their way up the plant, Fungus gnats like to eat organic matter so they will be stealing away nutrients from your plants, so its best to get rid of them completely.

If plants are outdoors, check the soil of plants before taking them back indoors for adult gnats or their larvae.

Prevent indoor entry of gnats by making sure there is no open windows open without screens on. Aug is a bad time for them as they are worst that time of the year.

Put sticky traps on the soil surface to trap the gnats

Put potato slices on the surface of the soil. The larvae like it and will be drawn to it.. After about 4 to 5 days, remove the potato slices with the larvae. To get rid of them you can do a lot of things like either use a NO pest strip, neem oil or putting sand on the surface of the soil will suffocate the eggs and get rid of them as well. Tobacco juice kills them, and works well for re-occurrences!

They can be in or on the soil and can fly. In order to get rid of them you can use neem oil, sand on the surface again kills them, and no pest strips catch the ones that fly. A chemical product called Zone works very well and is very powerful and works well in hydro!
Other Products which can be used in hydro and soil are:
Chemicals
Hot Pepper Wax,Safer Yard & Garden Insecticide (which can be used right to the day of harvest),GNATROL( used in hydro in the water as well as soil),Doc's Neem Pest Soap,Safer Sticky Stakes,TR-11000 Pyrethrum.

yea i did a search on here and saw they added sand to the top layer and that seems to kill them all cause they cant get threw it. will go buy sand tomorrow

I still get one here and there but do keep the No Pest Strips around. I find them at lowes or home D.

yea and im getting the pest strips as well

Sounds like a good plan, I've only been using the no pest. But am waiting to see what the warm weather will bring.
