@@@Ajwardy18, the flies do seem to jump out when watering, is there any other way to differentiate them from gnats? They're quite tiny so they're hard for me to identify properly, they're small & black. Not sure of the humidity, will see if I have something to measure that, temps are stable at above 20C (even through the night), reaching max 28C on hot days, usually at a more comfortable 25-26C. I tried using an old tool for measuring the soil PH a couple weeks back and it was saying 7 PH which seemed too alkaline based on what I added to it, but I covered the topsoil with some coffee grounds to try and improve the PH regardless but haven't checked since then. The tool was a little dirty & in storage for a good while so I wasn't sure of the accuracy, but I might use it on some other soil to see whether I should trust it, and measure the soil PH again. My soil is a combination of Coir & Soil, so should I be aiming for around 6.2PH? With the magnesium deficiency, would my nutrients (Bio Vega) be able to help with that or should I get something else to address that? Thanks for the advice
EDIT: They do have wings & fly around pretty confidently, it's to my understanding that springtails don't have wings & just hop? Thanks again
