I have been fighting a fungus gnat problem of late. Keeping top of soil dry, added liquid killer and mesquito bits on top. Weird thing is the plants seem most effected soon after planting. Yellowing leaves, tip curl, cupping but as soon as they go to harvest they seem to recover well and do...

I do not think heat is too much of an issue. Rarely gets to 80, mostly 72-77. In winter, add humidity, usually also in upper 60/low 70%.

I have been with 1 strain for the most part. Blueberry; sativa. Had as many as 20 or so going at a...
