About 3 weeks ago I noticed these little black fly's this being my first grow I though nothing of them as they looked like a fruit fly and didn't resemble aphids.

So as time goes on I notice my leave yellowing from the tips of the leaves bottom of the plant up wards.
The PH looked good in the soil so I looked at the Nutrients thinking it was a Nitrogen deficiency.
I gave the plants some loving as it was feeding time any way and still nothing!
I though maybe a MG or other kind of deficiency so i tried that...... Still nothing.

Finally I look close on watering and I see tiny little white larvae.

My plants have gone down hill many leaves going yellow then brown tips. The entire plants are wilting and dieing off.
Is there anything that can bring them back and fast because I am going into flowering.

Thanks

Sounds like overwatering. If your plant is mature enough to go into flower then it is big enough that the fungus gnats should not be able to hurt it much. if you are seeing the larvae during watering without poking around or moving some surface soil you are drowning your plant.

You gotta kill the gnats. They can literally kill your plant.

Ok I foolishly just noticed in my war against the little shits that I have roots poping out of the bottom of the pot I am only using a 3gallon pot maybe this is the cause?
