hello all,
i have been plagued by some form of gnat or aphid for over 2 months now. no matter what i do, they keep coming back. I do not know how the hell they keep coming unless they are regenerating themselves in my areas. i have some healthy newly rooted clones of the only & last connoisseur genetic strain i have left. i treasure & love this specimen more than my g/f. but, my perpetual set-up is just not giving me the potential yields i used to get. i am about fed up & dunnno what else to do but just remove the clones, kill everything else & just bleach & tear the areas down. i will relocate the clones to another zip code whilst cleansing the current enviro.
the insects look just like fungus gnats. they are stupid & easy to kill with a finger or hand smack. i rarely see tiny black specks that hop as well. about 2 months ago, i saw thousands of tiny white crawlers in a harvested pot's medium & immediately threw it in the garbage & disinfected the area. have not seen the white tiny things since, but i still have these flyin gnats everywhere. i am finding that they are just killing my plants that are in mid veg to late flower & harvest. so, essentially, they are doing the most damage at the most impt times. so, im thinking, why the heck bother anymore if this is the yields im getting. i used to get a zip per plant, now im getting half that. using the same wattage, space, & medium etc. this is a not for profit venture, just medicine. but, the risk involved is starting to outweigh the results, no pun intended. the plants have schlerosis & necrotic patches, rusted marks & finally the leaves fall off. essentially, by harvest time, there is not a single large fan leaf left. i dont know how the plant even produced as much as it did.....
any ideas or suggestions guys??? im really at my wits end.....the final product is still excellent & ppotent, & tasty, theres just not as much of it b/c of the infestation. is it true i have to just kill all & start over?? how do i know it won;t just happen again?? if i were to take each plant, completely wash off all the soil remnants & rinse the roots & place it into a fresh pot of FFOF/LW & vermiculite that i microwave for 10 mins, will this help?? i have done this once before without killing the plant, but it was shaky for a while & will stunt the growth like crazy anyhow.....
its like this is a planned attack on us OG'ers. the govt has spread thee damn gnats or aphids or whatever to piss us all off & have less money, so we have to find real jobs & pay taxes. thats my theory hahaha.....if they could 1099 us farmers, they would have no issue & actually help us, i bet. anyhow, i digress. pleaaaaase help me. thanks & sorry for rambling, im just so heartbroken & disenchanted rite now, i needed to vent. hope you all are in better spirits & better environments than I. God bless. Mata Flo
