That is not too much damage do not worry too much about it just keep n eye on it to make sure it is not spreading.

as i said you need an ipm plan 

spray regular just like feeding nutes regularly 

 

neem oil today , homemade pest spray 3 days later , rosemary oil 3 days after that 

even a morning plain water rinse then start again with the neem up until flower  

also using aloe & silica as emulsifiers will increase plant health each time you spray 

the healthier a plant the more it can defend itself

Great advice there!! The first photo is for sure scale, you can remove them or use oil like eco oil etc.

Now I have a bloody fungus gnat problem, when I agitate the soil they are everywhere and it has seemed to have slowed right down in terms of growth

I’ve dried it out haven’t fed it for a week and they are still there, I have got diametecous earth and will try that later tonight

top dress with worm casting & add a mulch layer to that 

to keep the microorganisms world moist so the ones that like 

eating gnat eggs can do so 

 

water the castings & top dress in with EM-1 solution or plain clean rain water  

 

a barrier is a good idea 

just make it a barrier of beneficial microorganisms via castings that out compete  

 

there should be a bit of info to be googled on using castings for pest control , love the things that 

do multiple jobs at the same time , castings are a beauty

i added a mulch layer about 100mm thick and now the soil is staying moist

Have I killed my plant ? I didn’t water for a week to dry out soil for fungus gnats, I was spraying with Yates neem only and some water. I watered this morning what do you think guys ?
