the product you speak of is not what you want flyers try sticky traps and mos of the others will probably die with a few neem oil treatments

one of my fan leafs are starting to canoe
and become yellow


in fact
my fan leafs keep turning yellow then falling off
why is this

i did give it a bad nute burn
but that was a month ago,

toard the end of flowering leaves often yellow and fall to flush just stop giving nutes and dump a shit load of water through every time you water do you know your soil ph

i dont know my soil pH
i dont have a tester either.

how much would one cost at like a hydro shop?



but now heres anoher question
i have aother plant that is vegging
and the leafs keep on turning yellow then falling off
and i know that isnt good for the plant, but they literally just fall off after a while.

its about a foot tall
i gave it bad nute burn
then i gave it lots of water
and since then havnt used any nutes or anything
why are they falling off?

your not watering too much are you. that would be a breeding ground for fungus gnats the little guys you see flying around and running accross yor soil. and would yellow some leaves a pic would help discribe the environment lights. temp., is it feel like a humid room are you flowering
