You should get a nice pile of buds here in a couple weeks. Hopefully you have a loupe to inspect those trichomes.

If it’s close enough to need to check the trichomes I consider it close enough to take a small sample bud. Then using the microscope is a breeze. Just put it on a countertop

I hope you don’t regret removing that sand. They have a two week life cycle………

Usually when i absolutely will see 1… is when i water… i water with the plant pot in a 5 gallon bucket so i can check runoff…
They always come out in there… every time because they’re being drowned if they stay in soil … (heavy watering now) i try to get at least half a gallon runoff…

Lately nothing at all… its been going great as far as those bugs … i was going to replace the sand… but there were no bugs. Not even 1

I try slapping the bottoms to aggravate them out like before… and nothing anywhere at all…

I do worry about larvae… but i think the dunks killed that too

Correct, none that you see, Doesn’t mean there aren’t some around that you don’t. They are tiny and aren’t always at the plants. I put tapes up in my room because I saw one flying around, the tape has about 30 on it that I never saw.

I will put it to you this way;
What harm was the sand doing?
What harm will the gnats do if you are wrong?

Looks like you have about a week and a half or two weeks to go until you start getting good amber trich’s.
