My girls are just 2 weeks old (OG God Kush cuttings) hydro drip fed system in hydro corn, 1st week they were thriving.
Then the bottom leaves started going yellow with what look like small patches of some kind of mould.
I had been having problems with my emitters plugging up and at first thought it was a result of that, ie not enough feeding as it appeared as though the plant was pulling food out of the leaves instead of storing it in them.
2 days ago I found a little fly laying beside one of my buckets, identified it as a fungus gnat and things started clicking.
The larvae eating the roots (as they are known to do).
Applied 30 ml VectoBac to my (20 liter/5 gal res) yesterday, and today I added another 30 ml.
The stuff claims to work quickly, starting to kill larvae within 24 hr.
I can't say if it's working yet, but today I found another dead adult.
Since this started, I would notice things getting slightly worse daily, but today there seemed to be no further damage.
Shifted the top of the medium so I could see the rockwool they came in, saw no movement anywhere.
Also checked the bottom of my buckets and saw no signs of bugs.
Obviously hoping this gets them.
