Hey guys,
What do you think this is that is wrong? I do have fungus gnats but no P.H problems.
Any answers are greatly appreciated and will answer any questions asked. Just looking for a experienced answer or guess. Also would fungus gnats or fruit flies cause something like this?

Just using fox farms trio using Big bloom and Grow big in vegetative stage,
it also has fungus gnats which I have been trying to dry them out.
I was planning on using BTI I bought offline to kill the larva.
Just kind wanna know what kind of deficiencies you think my plant has? I am just feeding Grow big and Big bloom.

Your plant is locked out

Indoor? Light, wattage, distance to plant

How often you feed? Water? How do you know when it's time?

And everything else about your grow.

How long you been doin this? I saw you talk about ph. You're in soil. Why you PHing? Didnt add lime? What else did you not add, epsom, perlite, etc...

Im not a soil guy but i can tell you there's a few things goin on here.. If you want some real help we need some real info.

Also try the search bar. If you had've tried looking it up, you would see others posting their grow info and know what i'm asking for. Did you scroll through the stickys and try to solve it yourself? How'd that go?

If you just want a shot in the dark, ill saaayyyyyy

I'm using a total of 88w CFL lights hanging above the plant, nothing too serious just a closet grow.
This is my second grow.
I didn't really add anything to the soil since I started from seedling and just used miracle grow starting potting mix for seedlings and added nutrients as i went along. i'm not expecting anything too great. just experimenting.
It has shown the pre-flowers of a female.
I usually let it dry out before i water again. I give her nutrients when I see yellowing or lighter leave colors then after i feed with nutrients i usually water with no nutrients to flush out the old salts.

Hot shot no-pest strips for the bugs just don't be huffing them humans shouldn't breath then but they work good ffof is great I use it but their nutes aren't the greatest I use Advance Nutes hobbyist line little more money but less headaches You didn't say but the lights look like cfl's? The plant won't dry out fast enough with cfl's so you get this over watered looking plant and gnats you really need the H.I.D. grow light with great air movement and keep the temperature down if your growing in a closet wait to just before winter and keep the house cold

You have a Mg deficiency. Whether it is caused by lockout or just lack of Mg, I couldn't say, because I'm not familiar with the nutrients or your schedule. Given you have fungus gnats as well (too moist), I would say that you are probably overdoing your nutrients, and have caused a lockout. I would flush with plain ph'd water, then let dry out completely, and start adding back nutrients. Epsom salts mixed with water can help your leaf health in the short term - foliar spray - not sure on amounts, you'd have to look it up. Use some sticky traps to catch the adult gnats, and get some mosquito dunk bits to mix in your medium for the larvae if you have trouble controlling them. Good luck!

I missed the part where you mentioned miracle grow initially - adding nutrients to that usually causes people trouble, and potting mix almost always comes with gnat larvae.
