Repost from @teamterpene ⚠️ Kickin off your Macro Monday with the fungus gnat... 😱 Studying our plants closely we came across this guy caught up in the secreting glandular trichomes. Fungus gnats look like tiny flies buzzing around cannabis plants, especially around the soil. Their larva grows in wet soil, and they often appear when the topsoil stays wet for too long between waterings. They infest the soil and decomposing organic matter. The larvae feed off this and also eat roots hairs of your new marijuana seedlings or your growing plants. Fungus gnat damage stunts growth and can start to turn leaves yellow. The plant slowly dies as the roots cannot uptake the nutrients and water it needs due to root damage. No, we don’t have an infestation and no we don’t see gnats buzzing around our plants, but running moist living soil you may come across these little guys from time to time. Not to worry, folks, the Team stays on top of our Integrated pest management or IPM, with the help of @botanicaltinctures. We alternate between the Lemon Mint, RSO, Ritha, Aloe, Sprouted and Neem tonics once or twice a week making sure we hit all parts of the plant including the stems and even the tops of the soil. Nature is a beautiful thing and when ever you feel in doubt top dress with a fresh compost layer and water it in, you’ll thank us later! 🙏🏽👊🏽💪🏽 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 #Botanicaltinctures #HighTimes #PlantMoreSeeds #KushArmy #MMMP #TeamingWithMicrobes #HighLife #Terpene #Fungi #420 #SpydrxPlus #CannabisCulture #MedicalMarijuana #Herb #Cannasociety420 #Kush #MaryJane #Cannabis #DropSeedsNotBombs #Cannabischasers #PlantMoreSeeds #KushArmy #MMMP #TeamingWithMicrobes #HighLife #Terpene #Fungi #420 #PotEntertainment #MacroMonday
