haven't seen any yet this grow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I usually have a couple floating around and that's ok, but it got to the point where I was killing a ton of them every day, and then I started noticing small piles of dead gnats in the grow chamber. The pest strips reduced their numbers greatly and hopefully that coupled with a few drenches of the GoGnats will keep em away for good.

Ugh, I picked up some sort of mutant stomach bug and my plants went an extra two days longer than needed without water or food. They fared ok, although they lost some of the green they built up and were just starting to feel the heat. So I fed them last night and looking at them today they've perked up and put on a couple of inches. Things are going great, I need to get down to the bottom of the plant and remove some foliage and bud sites that are worthless to increase some airflow and make watering easier. Again, this would have happened monday, but today has been the first day where I've been able to stay out of the bathroom for more than 5 minutes. Buds are coming in nicely, they colored up great, still no signs of insect activity either. So far so good, only 4.5 more weeks to go!
Wanted to give them a little bit of break from the food and use up anything that might be sticking around in the coco. I definitely need to get in there soon and remove some of that undergrowth.

Trimmed off some fan leaves which were blocking some bud sites, growth is going great but I definitely need to get on to getting my air circulating better in my cabinet. Dealing with a mold issue on the top layer of coco because my dumb ass didn't fill the containers to the top. I'm thinking the depression between the top layer of soil and the top layer of the container is providing the perfect environment for the mold spores to germinate in. Just too much humidity and too weak of an air current to keep things fresh down there. Hopefully the removal of most of my lower growth will aid in this, but now I'm just worried about those damn mold spores making their way up to the flowers.
Fuck, this has been a terrible year for mold for me. Really getting sick of dealing with it, never had this much trouble with it in the past. I even nuked my grow cab with bleach a few days before I put my plants in and relined the bottom with fresh plastic as well. Thinking I might need a bottle of Physan 20 this weekend.
Gave em a break and just fed plain water last night. Noticed the first gnat in the grow room as well, but, I'm not sure if it came from the plants or just a random bug that happened to be floating around. There was just that one though, but still, I wouldn't be surprised if I opened the cabinet tonight to see two or three. Judging from the stature of my plants I think this is going to be a weaker harvest for me, probably could have used another couple days worth of veg time before I threw them in, but I still think I should pull in around 10 oz's.
