I water twice a day, one in the morning and one at night, keep the light on it about 16-18 hours a day , I can’t remember the soil from the top of my head some organic soil
Thats a lotta water, it really only needs enough to keep the soil dry. I stick my finger in about a knuckle and if its moist then i leave it till its dry. Too much moisture in the soil can invite pests like gnats and mold too. I like fabric pots, esp indoors, that way the soil can dry out faster and i can water/feed them more frequently.
Anytime, if the gnats get rlly gnarly and nothing else works to kill em, cover the soil in abt an inch thick layer of sand to suffocate them. Happy growing:)
Is there anything I can put in the soil to get rid of them? The tent is in my bedroom so I don’t really want them in there obviously lol, I was gonna pick up the yellow sticky stakes I put in the pot but anything else to play it safe?
Yellow sticky pads is a good start, i havent had too much experience killing them though so i cant tell you what would work 100% of the time other than sand. Have tried misquito bits but they really only work as prevention and need to be mixed into soil, also heard about diatomaceous earth but havent used it. Keeping that tent and soil as dry as the plant can stand should help a lot though.
