I hate noobs.
Brother, I knew nothing before AFN took me under their wing.
I have a request in to move you to new growers (wise move
) but do please provide the info on your grow so we have some details
We're here for you, Brother Auto
Tell me about those gnats....
Calm down bud. We all have lives, families and things going on too. (Holiday weekend.) A lot of us get on here in our free time and help out when we can. This is a great place actually and you shouldn't be so quick to judge. Posting things in the "live help thread" will get you a faster response. Sorry people work, sleep, live in different timezones etc.
We're all here to learn, share and listen. But be patient, try sending some PM's or smoking one.
Hope they get better.

Okay, pH is king. You HAVE to know your pH, Brother. Everything you feed depends on having proper pH. Too high or to low, the plant doesn't take it up. No bueno
Test kits are better than nothing to read soil pH, but I have a hard time reading the color charts. It depends on what you can spend, but good meters don't need to be overly spendy.
AFN is going through some heavy changes
Blame me, if anyones to blame. We don't get paid for this, it's just our passion, but I was off for a long time and it created some gaps. Well I'm back, and still don't know much about anything, but I'd like to help you through this grow. My best feature is that I don't know much, but I party with the folks that do!
If that works for you, tomorrow we'll talk about those gnats

It's all good Brother
It takes a minute to know the Vibe is real
I really love the fact that Doc is so passionate about his grow
This thread should be moving soon to New Grows. I hope to Christ you're gonna follow it and help me out!
I have a ton of questions about ph, but I'm just going to sound like an idiot id imagine so maybe I'll take my noob ass to the daycare as recomended and ask there to spare the embarasment. My questions aren't about where they need to be but more like how the hell do I change or fix it if i have to wait two or three days to water the damn thing, then if its not perfect wait till i water again to give it another whack by the time I get it right it's done. Why am I using bull$#*% ph perfect nutes? (One very light feed)

Doc, no nutes are perfect (especially pH-wise), and you aren't heading for daycare
Your grow is kind of buried, so we'll change that in short order. I just stumbled upon it, and might have even passed it by if it wasn't for your obvious passion to see your gals do their best.
You're heading into the spotlight, Brother
Growers who know a lot more than I do will be watching and helping.
"but I'm just going to sound like an idiot"
We've all beat you to it, Doc. Ask around if you don't believe it. My first grow I almost chopped a month early, because I thought pistols were trichs. 90% amber, gonna mow 'em down!
We'll help you, Friend
By the way, max reps for giving a damn. I can see you have the love
Please forgive me the excess, I haven't swung heavy for a while :smoking:
never 
ever
forget to check 
your pH! 
Looks like you are under watering your plants. Mabe you over fed or packed soil too tight roots could be not getting oxygen or you need to bump up heat. Is your soil drying fast or slow do you check run off ph? I perfer tap water as mine is 7.3 or so and with nutes and the soil staying 6.3 to 6.7 I never have issues other than a over feed every so often.
I would definitely check ph the advanced nutes run hot like a mother fucker. Ph perfect my ass definitely would not use them again other than rhino skin.
