Damn... so I think I finally solved this one.
Almost positive I seen a fungus gnat fly past my face while watering
Added b.t.i. powder to soil and looking for some good organic/essential oil based pesticide (prob. liquid ladybug) Hopefully after that this problem will resolve itself with time and care. I only saw that one gnat so hopefully I’m catching it early.
Thanks FFOF... (they were out of my regular soil and had nothing else useable)
