I did drop watering by a minute one a water 2 per 12 hours cycle, to try kill off gnats from reading thought it maybe to much water the gnats like them conditions, getting a little confused mate

In reality you just gotta balance the pros and cons of drybacks to control gnat population vs using other methods like predators and Neem/peroxide flushes while keeping the medium at an optimal moisture content.

In my opinion you are pissing in the wind trying to dry Coco out enough every day to a point that will keep gnats away and you'd be better off with biological control, prevention (traps) and medium soaks.

coco dry enough to not attract gnats imo is also too dry to sustain a flowering plant but I could be wrong.

Advice taken and understood I suspected dump tank also so cleaned out, I popped a pot out there was a few in the tank air space...

Sometimes shit just happens mate. Other times you'll be fine. I've had random freak gnat infestations as well, especially in Coco and I found peroxide soaks and traps to be the best deterrent. Traps will kill strays and the peroxide will kill larvae while helping nutrient uptake.

Peroxide can increase medium oxygen levels, improving the root environment for aerobic respiration and nutrient uptake as well, especially Phosphorus and Potassium.

Could it have anything to do with super thrive? added this run??

I noticed trimming today one plant was liked by small black flying ants. Heaps got stoned and died on the flower but not the other four strains adjacent.

Very tiny, like smaller than fungus gnats?

 

[SAW]

No definitely ants, black ~5mm.
I get a photo tomorrow

caused by cold exposure or phosphorus deficiency? because its been exposed to about 15 C at night for about 4 days now. I have been thinking if I should invest in some small heaters. but if this caused by cold exposure, I guess I will have to get some small heaters off amazon. what do you think?

Natural fade. Just a little bit heavy on the nutes

really? nothing to do with cold? I watered with only rain water without any mixes couple days ago tho. I think it would have helped then.

Absolutely that purple is from the cold way to early for a fade yet don’t matter none though and it looks kinda cool

Might be a question for @med180 !
I didn't think 15C was cold enough, could it have gotten colder?

haha I thought it looks kinda cool too. it's like autumn in my tent.

The pigment/anthocyanins is already in the genetics. Cold will simply encourage/enhance the colours. Many( most?) strains don't have that pigment, and doesn't matter how cold it gets, they always remain green.

Some other strains can turn full purple even in 32%C flowering in summer. Those strains don't need any cold to turn purple.

Many purple strains will start to show initial colours between weeks 5 to 6 of flowering.
Looks like most of the leaves on that plant could turn purple

'Got a bit slack on chopping my Wonder Woman & Bubba Kush mother plants until today, by which time they were out of moisture & drooping. Some nice purple on the Sir Billy.

Neither of them are frost-machines, but not too shabby for plants that I basically neglected outside for the past 3 months & just fed them with the same hydro mix as the chilli plants. I'm happy..

They look frosty enough to me.
Do you have any other strains from Nirvana? I wouldn't mind the Papaya and maybe the Maui Wowie. But I've been kind of spooked on them after reading others complaints of bad germination rates, hermies etc.. they are no longer selling regs too apparently, hence why i thought it would be a good idea to buy a few packs of their reg seeds

wow learned something new. cheers old fox. would be cool to see purple trees tho haha

Chromatic (Heavy Dayze) STS testers growing out pretty evenly so far. 10 days in.

Platinum Dark Star (Etherlogic) have an odd start. There's one more that's just popping through the medium too and it also seems to have missing or deformed first leaves as well.

Bud shots cause I'm bored. Day 24F.

No other Nirvana stuff except their version of Durban Poison that were gifted to me awhile back. Only grew one a few years back & it went hermie on me outside, so I'm hesitant to try it again. 'Shame, it was a beautiful-looking plant. Easily over 2m tall & over 1m across, but I trashed it
