Flush! Flush! Flush! And make the last one with a H2O2 solution so you don't drown the roots. If it would be easier, you could re-pot instead, but still flush with plenty of fresh water. Oh, and by flush, I mean water should be flowing out of the bottoms of the pots. For the gnats: Use permethrin to kill the adults and treat the soil with imidacloprid to kill the larvae. That is, if the plants survive...

Hydrogen Peroxide huh. I'm in 5 gallon pots and it seems a half gallon feeds each pot. What would be the ratio per gallon for the H202 mix? Thanks for the info on pest control. I actually took out my magnifier and those were some nasty looking critters. They were just crawling around and looked similar to ants just tiny. Could I have more then a gnat problem. Are there any posts that have pictures of garden pests? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't know the ratio for the hydrogen peroxide mix. It's used to re-oxygenate the soil after severe saturation. I've never had to use the stuff, but I'd be careful with it, it's a powerful oxidizer and could easily burn your plants' roots and exacerbate your problems. If the bugs you're seeing look like ants, I'd think there's more than just gnats. Gnat larvae looks like 1/4" long glassy or milky worms with black heads. But, I'd say the nute problem is more immediate. Dosage for the pesticides is on the label. Bayer makes a good liquid version here's the addy, http://www.bayeradvanced.com/insects-pests/products/fruit-citrus-vegetable-insect-control

Hello all. This is my first time participating in RIU forums. All of you have helped me because I come to this site for knowledge. So thanks in advance for any info.

What I'm using:
6.5x6.5x7 Hydro Hut Silver
Carbon Filter and H/O Fan combo from HTGsupply
Coco with Roots organic soil on top
1000w HPS with 6in. air cooled hood
Fox Farm nutes and solubles
Bud Candy
2 Blueberry OG Kush
1 Super Silver Haze
1 Snowcap
Tent has it's own room
I think that's all.

I'm for weeks into flowering and the only problem's I've had so far are the damn gnat things. I've been using something for that but forgot the name (I'm at work). Well on Friday I nuted and sprayed the stuff for the bugs around the bottom of my pots (they are coming out of the holes at the pot's bottom when I water). I wake up Saturday and smell hay. Instantly I check the plants. One of my BBOG's leaves were curled and looked horrible which is about 90%. I flushed like hell until the water didn't look like urine. I saved the other BBOG so to speak because the curling has stopped and that's about 20%. I will post pics tonight when I get home. My questions is should I keep letting the BBOG With the 90% curled and dying leaves finish the last four weeks of flower or should I pull it? Again thanks in advance.

AMEN! I didn't pull them and yes there is a lot of new growth on the really burnt one but the one I saved is slowly coming back. I think I'm gonna take off the good tops and hash the rest. My wife keeps taking her camera so I'll try posting pics tonight. I think my Snowcap is done but I still have a week and a half on my nute schedule (Foxfarm) and only one area to work with. Your plants look good still. What are you growing?
