i do not know what is causing your leaf issues, i also see some leaf curl on your latest photographs. it could all be pH related.

here is a pH nutrient availability chart

here are some searches for pH meters

https://www.google.com search digital pH meter

https://www.google.com search digital pH tester

most pH meters have a 2 point calibration. pour a small amount of pH 7 solution into a plastic bag and dip your meters tip into it, adjust your meters trimmer until it reads 7. next pour a small amount of pH 4 solution into a plastic bag and dip your meters tip into it, adjust your meters trimmer until it reads 4. never let your meters tip dry out. either use storage solution or pH 7 solution in the cap to keep it from drying out. re calibrate your meter every 2 weeks so it is accurate.
i often buy from www.sunflowersupplies.com
here are 16 oz sizes for pH 7 and pH 4 solutions at reasonable prices.

if you do not have one already pick up a 30x jewellers loop so you can see the trichomes and judge when to harvest.

i also found the weird little bugs with wings in my soil in all the plants they don't really seem to be harming anything and i cant figure out what they are any ideas? should i be worried?
They are light brown in color, tiny, flat, and have wings and are everywhere in the soil.

Sounds like fungus gnats and yes they damage the roots. BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis) will end their life cycle.

 

[Coke420]

What's the best way to get rid of them before they kill my plants

 

[alex801]

Hey coke didn't realize ud posted ur grow. Did u fix ur problem girl u had a few weeks bak? I think king jon c wil be able to tell u the products to rid ur grow of gnats. I feel sure I read a post of his on another grow with a gnat problem.

 

[Coke420]

Yea I finally got my pH meter and fixed my water.
Now its the gnats! I just watered last night and noticed them so
I got some sticky pest strips and put them in there today but there no were to be seen
Did they go back in the soil? I also heard something about patatoes to throw in there.

 

[Coke420]

And thanks for the advice old man but I couldn't find the BT
Were do they sell it and how does it work

 

[cnd420]

checking you out over here they look a lot better than they did first time I looked at em

 

[alex801]

I don't no about them going back in the soil but I understand they lay eggs in the soil. Its also my understanding that ic the top soils dry they keep off it so a good tip is to put a half inch layer of perlite on the top soil so after waterings its dry real quick. And another tip I read somewere was to take a slice of uncooked potato and place that in the room. The gnats will lay there eggs on that as there attracted to it and u simply replace the potato each day

Good news about ur girls

 

[Coke420]

thanks cnd
and i just finished putting some patatoes in the pots right now.
hopefully it works good if not im going to buy some perlite should have got some in the beginning lol.

 

[alex801]

Hopefully it sorts it out. Id be tempted to buy a product to fix it 100% or at least the perlite for the top of pots just to be on the safe side

 

[Coke420]

Is there a certain kind of perlite I need
I'm going to get some today

 

[alex801]

I think just the regular white stuff is good I'll find the grow with the gnat issue and put u onto to it has info on there

 

[alex801]

On page 4 -5 spimps gnat problem is documented. U should find it usefull here's the link

i use diotomacious earth as a barrier on top of the soil, it can be mixed into the soil as well. it is a sharp edged silica powder that will kill insects as they pass through it. i bought my diotomacious earth from a feed supply store. yellow sticky cards are helpful to catch flying insects as well. some forum members use Mosquito Dunks whose ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis as a drench to kill the larvae. i have ordered products from Biocontrol Network - Bio-Rational Alternatives for agriculture, horticulture, commercial and residential use. for pest control previously.
