Garden of Green - Kosher Kush

Gnats in control, and I am attempting to keep the watering up as I had to disrupt it to stop the gnats. I made two changes when it comes to watering the earthboxes. 1st was I just added 1/2 gallon twice a day as the reservoir was empty. This caused the wicking to the compost used as a top dressing in prep to go to flower. The compost was saturated which brought the bugs. The rove beetles and other beneficials in the compost, soil and castings was the source of the gnats. Now I water completely until the reservoir is dry and I only water once per day. The 2nd issue I had was relative to drying out the compost which resulted in the soil to dry out to a point where the environment no longer supported the gnat lifecycle. However, this caused the plant to experience a sulphur and calcium deficiency in the leaves. It was a deficiency of water that was cause, and I lost a bunch of roots when the earthbox dried out. New leaf growth is green as I am confident the soil has the necessary nutrients to support flowering. As many of the leaves are yellowed and dried out, I am removing those instead of leaves covering bud sites to assist later in trimming and keep air flow and light to a maximum on all bud sites.
