New to me.

This the 1st plant to grow like this since started back 3 yrs ago. Everything has been growing tall , skinny and not a lot of leaves.
This one germ. April 3 of unknown origin is growing short and fat. A lot of short branches. It's filling out nicely so I'm not doing anything but let it grow. Any guess as to what strain it could be?

Something indica dominant, where did you get the seed, and what else is in the pot, almost looks like catnip

 

[shadycon]

That's kinda what I was thinking. My grandsons have been giving me seeds. No idea of strain. I'm growing mint in each pot also. Happy holiday everyone!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pyrokill]

That mint is highly invasive. I'd pull it. I'm assuming it would take a lot of the nutrients from the soil.

 

[Gator]

Ok, cool,I have a plant outside that I have no idea what it is

 

[Bluey]

I grow a similar mint here. It is invasive but it dies back regularly but does make for good ground cover.

 

[Gator]

I've grown green onions with my plants, fungus knats don't like it at all

 

[shadycon]

I understand that is a deterrent for bugs. With my open air grow room I'll see if it slows down any bugs. When it stars spreading I' going to keep cutting it back. right now my bug spray is; Bonide Mite X with Earth Ally 3in1 spray and a side dose of Neem oil. So far all I've seen were a few dead bugs,

Great tip! I always get some fungus gnats: I use mosquito bits and yellow sticky paper on the lil bastards.

 

[Bluey]

I just water a bit less

 

[Dgrobro]

Can fungus gnats infect pre bagged soil? Bueller??

Just curious because I thought I had narrowed it down to infected soil from the factory.

 

[DabberDog]

Absolutely!
My personal best method to get rid of FG's is a constant fan across the soil.
My personal best method to mitigate beforehand is let the prebagged sit out and dry for a few months. Then make with the fans.

 

[Bluey]

Yes for sure. Pre bagged soil is kept highly moist and fungus loves it so will fungus gnats

 

[Allenpro]

I use mosquito bits to get rid of gnats. You can add some to a cup and add water or sprinkle them around the plant in the pot.
Best fix all bug prroblems is to raise the brix level to at least 12 and that makes the plant invisible to bug
