What Is Wrong With My Plant

Can someone please help me out? My plant just started getting like this out of nowhere. It was doing well and then one day I checked and it looked like this. I noticed baby fungus gnats all in the soil so I put yellow sticky fly traps in the soil and it is catching as much fungus gnats as it can but I can still see some. I’ve ordered some mosquito bits to put in the soil and hopefully that kills them all. But how can I get the plant back to normal? I just flipped it to flower a few days ago. I need to save this plant. Are the fungus gnats the reason the plant is looking like this? Please help.

More than likely it’s the gnat larvae, they’re making a smorgasbord of the roots. You’ve got to kill the larvae in the soil.

I doubt the gnats are responsible for the plant's condition; certainly not from one day to the next.

You can try the mosquitto bits (BTi) but keep in mind, it's only effective in preventing gnat larvae from maturing and will take a month or so to completely eradicate them.

I just dealt with a fungus gnat outbreak, the plants looked completely unaffected.

To me that lady looks like it is cold damage just delt with it with some clones and I would agree with I highly doubt that nats are responsible for that the very best luck to you

Ok what should I put in the soil? Mosquito bits? Can I water and feed it normally?

Maybe it’s nutrient deficiency? I’m giving it nutrients for flowering but maybe I’m not feeding it the appropriate quantity.

Well maybe now the over feeding you could be onto something there in that case I would flush it and feed 1/2 of the recommended feeding

Are you still using the same 62watts of lighting that you were a couple of months ago? If so, lights that weren't really strong enough to veg a plant definitely won't be good enough to effectively flower one.

You're going to have to give a lot more details about your current situation: ambient temp and humidity in your grow area, light strength and hanging distance, watering frequency and volume, feed type and strength, etc.

I don't think the plant is salvageable. Just my opinion.

The plant looks very overwatered to me. Then maybe dried out? Cold?

The plant is done, it is time to start over and get the environment correct.

The devil is always in the details. You seem to like to make a point to be stingy with them. Best of luck.

Well soon as I saw fungus gnats in there, the plant started deteriorating. There was a leak in my ceiling from raining too much and the rain water from my ceiling fell into the soil. Maybe that’s what caused the fungus gnats.

But aren’t the lights made for plants??

Maybe your lighting would be adequate for some herbs on a kitchen window sill.
You simply don't have adequate output to grow a healthy cannabis plant to maturity.
Take a look at your 4 1/2 month old plant and compare to the thousands of pictures available on this site.

Cannabis is a weed though. Weeds grow easily in light so shouldn’t it easily grow in the lights I have?

Fungus gnats are a nuisance but do not affect the plant..
They eat deteriorating organic matter not roots..
Yes cannabis needs light to grow but your lights are way to weak.. More light = more energy..

Not all plants require the same intensity of light.
Cannabis requires a lot.......the more the better.

How you let it get that bad before looking for a solution?

Clawing, burnt edges and tips, shriveled and dry looking. I'd say it's not taking up nutrients and water. Either your ec or ph.

If not that do you have a powerful fan blasting it? Kinda looks like windburn all over
