 LEAVE HER ALONE 

those little white things are wat ya want 

[Sir PsychoHashy]

What they said, everything's groovy with her.  They were earlier pre flowers, which is why the pistils are already turning.  If there's any hairs coming out, they are female flowers.

Nice plants mate.

 

Noob question, can someone pls explain to me why the plant that is budding pretty fierce is only a foot high and the other plant is 3 x the size and has zero buds? I'd like my plant to produce buds is all

The small plant was an autoflower which didnt grow under the best conditions as im a noob also haha, when i chopped it down and checked its roots they were only growing on half the side of the pot the soil on the other side became like a rock somehow. It also got bad heat stress early on in veg and its not a good idea to stress autoflowers either

 

Noob lessions learnt = add way more perlite(the bigger ones from hydro stores not the lil grains from bunnings) if ur gna use soil and dont stress her at all if possible

Ok I see, a quick googling of autoflower and "ruderalis" I'm up to speed. Man they seem like the way to fkn go!

Goodluck with the harvest homes

the quality was there from auto amnesia but not much quantity this time, next time will be better for sure

[zeeibi21]

anyone have a good way of keeping fungus gnats in control theyve taken over since ive increased waterings arghh

gna go get some yellow traps tmorrow but what else can i get thats available at bunnings!?

[crow]

I've no experience personally but have read numerous times about using a layer of brickies sand or similar on top of the coco and at the bottom of the coco to prevent the fungus gnats.  Something to do with it being to rough and cutting up their bodies?  Wouldn't hurt to put a layer on top now.  No other suggestions sorry.

Best thing for gnats is to let top layer of medium dry out, will kill them all

[MrCompletion]

Regular need drenches. You need to kill the adult and larvae to kill the cycle. If your in pots you can remove the top inch of soil. I had a pot blow over that was infested with the bastards. Lost the top inch or so of dirt and low and behold they too went with the soil into the bin. Never to return. But as people have said damp soil is the cause.
