DINAFEM - Amnesia XXL AUTO

22/07/2020 Start of the week and there's some good growth to see. The plants are looking fine, but I've spotted a few small flies, hovering around the soil. According to the internet they're fungus gnats. I was also able to spot some ants. I'm certain the few ants won't be a problem, but in order to deal with the fungus gnats, I've started treating them by delaying another watering to let the soil dry out a bit. Tomorrow I'll go and get some Neem Oil or something similar to treat the top of the soil. 23/07/2020 It's been 3 days since I've last watered them. Back then they received each about 1.5 liters of water with 1ml power roots per liter. The left plants soil is starting to dry out, although only the very top. Directly beneath the soil is still wet. The right plants soil is still fairly moist. I'll be looking to use some Neem oil today hopefully, if I can get my hands on some. I'm a bit uncertain when I should start watering again. I don't want the fungus gnats to have a nice environement, but I also don't want my plants to dehydrate. 24/07/2020 I've put up a bowl of vinegar with some dish soap in it. I also put up these small little adhesive.. ..things, which I don't know the proper english name of. At the end of the day, I watered each plant just a bit (ca. 0.5 liters per plant), since the soil was really dry already. And switched the adhesive stripes, since the first two already had quite some fungus gnats on them. Also, I made the complete rookie mistake by ripping off a bit of one of the leaves while trying to stick the adhesive stickers into the soil. The plant has been recovering pretty great from that though. 25/07/2020 They're looking even better now. Not many fungus gnats in the vinegar/on the stickers, but they've definitely been getting less. The plants are still looking mighty fine :) 27/07/2020 I let them be for quite a while. Haven't watered them too. Even though the top layer of soil is dry, I noticed by digging my finger in the soil that beneath it's still pretty damp. I'm gonna keep on not watering them until I notice the leaves drooping.
