Fungus Gnats

[Allblue]

Looks like mite damage to me. Check the underside of leaves for them. Easy to identify with naked eye

Couple more photos

Could it be a mixture of bad elements..?

Also I don’t have any fans as the two I had shat the bucket.

I’m aware this is a massive problem for circulation.

Therefore I’ve been closing up the room and leaving the rotisserie fan going with the door a little open on the tent.

Similar looking leaves to bad thrip damage.

 

Once you identify what's been eating at your leaves go to Bugs for Bugs and order predators .,,better than spraying shit on your buds.

third pic in your first post 

looks like maybe aphid or as 

SE said , thrips , on that leaf 

i think it's the second leaf curled up at the bottom

of the leaf / pic 

 

+1 for bugs for bugs 

 

if aphid could be a sign of to much nitrogen 

 

gnats live in soil generally not on leaves 

 

imo gnats could be a sign of to much water &/or not an active enough soil 

 

when your soil is full of beneficial life the beneficial's in the soil will 

keep the gnats in check by out competing , this won't totally remove 

there presents but will keep there numbers low , which is a good thing 

as the beneficial's controlling the gnats need feeding , wiping them out 

totally wipes out there food source 

 

all bugs attract other bugs , good or bad , concentrate on plant health 

cause hard to stop things like this 

 

Broad mites hitching a ride on a white fly 

 

we can see white flys but keep in mind the magnification , never going to see those 

broad mites with the naked eye , that's why beneficial organisms 

are important cause they'll see these fuckers & attack no problem

It IS possible. I've just had one cark it coz of pyth, and I'm not holding hopes for the other.

 

I'd use H2O2 myself. After all the reading I did on neem, it is banned under my roof.

What did you find in your reading about neem that you didn't like Leni??

The list of health complications that have been linked with azadirachtin exposure were enough for me.

 

On top of that, it turned out that the neem oil was what was causing my painful outbreaks of eczema. I only had to just been in the room when my partner was using it and within hours, my hands started to itch. It was all downhill once the itch started. I'm really surprised my hands aren't more scarred tbh.

My partner and I were also talking about starting a family around that time too. Azadirachtin is known to cause miscarriages and negatively affect fertility.

 

It had to go.

 

My health is dodgy enough as it is. I make efforts to avoid exposing myself to anything that even might have a chance of aggravate anything.

They say it's "practically non-toxic" and I know it's the dose that makes the poison, but the clarifier of "practically" does the opposite of reassure me of it's safety.

 

But hey, each their own. If others are happy to use it, go for it. They're not my plants and I'm not the one consuming the end product.

hey Leni

 

which neem oil did you use , eco neem for instance ? if so there is a emulsifier in eco neem possibly other ingredients as well 

not just neem oil , if you used pure neem oil , what emulsifier was used 

 

either way if it is neem oil that causes you bad skin prob , def don't use it or at least keep away from it 

 

warning for the rest of us , as growers we should mask up , maybe even glove up when spraying anything really , especially indoors
