It is always best to almost let the soil nearly totally dry out before watering again. Just as a regular practice. But not so dry the plant wilts. But the soil itself really can get nearly completely dry and your plant will not wilt right away. This is realy healthy for the roots and helps lots of oxygen get into the soil, and this is very needed. CO2 at the leaves, and oxygen at the roots.
Jack I put two 9-inch high-velocity fans on the floor in a 5x5 flower tent and I keep one in veg tent and I haven’t seen a fungus gnat in months, not one on any yellow sticky card
Lol we can only make suggestions if they are dismissed??? first thing I said was check for bugs after that up to the poster to confirm or lead us all down the rabbit hole to Oz hunting for god knows what
@JackStraw hi jack, in the second picture when I download it and expand it, it looks to me like I see little white eggs scattered around. Have you checked with a loupe or done the shake over white paper test?

Sorry, I missed this last week. I can only try to help due to the fact that I have Macular Degeneration, and I am legally blind. I generally allow others to identify “Wee little buggers” LOL
On another note: Jack, I cleaned up your topic to only reflect the Q and A appropriate with helping you. All negative posts and comments were removed due to Administration policy. I am sure you will enjoy the topic better this way. Peace, lw
