How’s it Bluter? Yep, I started to mention them too. Ha, frigging fungus gnats - they should have stay at home orders too- just not MY home!

Mosquito dunk watering should help with them, no?

fuzzzyy. off today.
i can get some late in hempy grows. they migrate from the house plants.
there has to be some exposed root or root rot though. in my pots the root build presses against the outer edges of the pot, and they get in the sides there. or down the stem.
the perlite in hempy really messes them but they'll still try anyway.
Hey Dutchin, Yes, I’ve got dunks mixed in top layer of soil plus I water with dunks also, but it’s summer, I’m an outdoorsman and have dogs - so for now I’ve got russet or hemp mites plus the fungus gnats. I’m hitting the leaves top and bottom with safers soap and neem, plus spraying top of soil too.

Hi VG, tonning in nad plants look greet as always
No worries VG! I saw that you had discovered the scale issue. Really glad it was only that!Sorry Boo.
Didn't mean to ignore you. Honestly thought that I answered you. No idea what really happened but maybe it was a little something like this.....

I added it to this mornings feed as well. My bases should be covered pretty well.
Thanks. I'm working on em.
Let's hope so. Still at the wait and see part.No worries VG! I saw that you had discovered the scale issue. Really glad it was only that!

Ummm.....Looks slightly worse today actually. I fed them this morning so just need to give it a few days before I panic.

I’ve got the exact same issue going on with 2 of my girls in flower in the 2x4! Same exact kind of spotting on the leaves...didn’t see any bugs either..
That doesn't remind me of any deficiency I can think of (too splotchy for Mg), which leads me to think it's something on the leaves themselves.

Hey y'all.
Sorry to leave you hanging.
Things haven't really improved much.
Nothing on the leaves and no root rot. Their roots look fine. Feathery and bright white.
Charlotte's leaves are still blotchy but starting to darken up a bit. Sexy is having problems now too.
I'm running slurry tests tonight. My samples have been sitting since this morning.
Based upon that I will adjust and move forward. My guess is that I will have to flush and reset them. Not sure if this is lockout from overfeeding so badly or they got pissed when I lowered their feed after that. Thinking that a reset will at least let me know where I'm standing now.
They look hungry and like they need a little cal-mag.

Wait a second. I'm sure I'm following a grow thread of yours other than this
Nice to have you back here, if for no other reason than to keep Dusted off balance. 
Having watched you grow and fix the issues that come your way, I have no doubt that you will turn these around and have an excellent harvest. I also think your kids will be fine with the home schooling, and that eventually you will regain your sanity from home schooling.
I am optimistic!

You are!
This one is strictly for Mars Hydro lights/tents and Weedseedsexpress plants. The other one is my original/main journal which contains some sponsored equipment and seeds as well as non-sponsored stuff too.
We picked up another computer as we were one short. Our schools just don't have enough for every student to have their own. We are trying to get it hooked up to their district today. It should make things go much smoother.Nice to have you back here, if for no other reason than to keep Dusted off balance.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I'll do my best to turn things around asap.

I have my soil pH results that were taken after my samples sat for 24 hrs.
Pro Mix is buffered to 5.2 - 5.8.
Micronutrients are locked out.

No rush. Correction comes at your pace, but come it will!
According to my ProMix guy, 6.2 was the high before measures should be taken, so you're in the "fix this" zone.
Smokey and I just went through this, so try and find some fertilizer that is 12% nitrate and 8% ammoniacal nitrogen. Jack's 20-10-20 is ideal, but I went with GrowMore Orchid 20-10-20 fertilizer from my local nursery. Mix at 2.8g/gallon and use that to water for a week, then retest. That should get you back in the zone.
After I had corrected mine I went to a blend of MC, GrowMore, and Armor Si to create a Frankenstein MC but with more balanced N sources. MC is almost 100% nitrate, which raises the pH of the medium.
Hey VG. Just cruising through on the catch-up choo choo.
I'm sure they'll be fine. Your plants always look killer come the end.
Stay safe VG

seems like that’s happened really fast tho, seeing as they only transplanted recently, d’y’think?
hope the different nitrogen source works VG - sending good Ph dropping vibes!
It also depends on the age of the ProMix. It changes as it gets further from the manufacture date. A year under ideal storage conditions, shorter in the heat.
