Title says it all, not sure why but this is the second girl to start dying from the top down.

additional info. this is the second plant in the same tent even after cleaning. also have 2 others in the same space that are fine, but the trichome is the oldest

think its gnats…

Do you see gnats?
How old are they?
Are you making sure they are pretty dry before watering again?

well crap, its gnats…safe way to get rid of them??

everything is light before i water, and top 1/4 inch is dry,
should you check further down?

I just went through a small fungus gnat issue. Attacked it by using Mosquito Bits and DE. The mosquito bits kills the larvae in the soil who are doing the real damage to the plant by eating it’s roots. I dusted the top of the soil with DE cause I hate watching them just walking around. As the DE cuts into them, they’re not gonna be walking around for long. Could also use yellow sticky traps to get some walkers and flyers as well.

Don’t know if fungus gnats are your only issue, if my plant looked like that I’d do a good flush with ph adjusted water just to reset them, last bit of water having some nutes so they don’t starve. Also I’d take those bad leaves off, my rule for leaves is if is dead, damaged, or diseased, take it off as they won’t heal and harbors an environment for more pests.

Yes the pucks will works as well. But this is what I’ve used for a long time and always works for me with fungus gnats.
