You NEED to water every single day. Enough water that a little bit comes out the bottom.

These are not houseplants that you can overwater. These are growing very fast and need a constant supply of water.

The gnats are annoying but they're not hurting the plants.


Alright, I will water everyday. Today I watered just a little bit (just a little bit of water came out from the drainage holes), but I had watered yesterday (and before I watered, the soil was already very moist from the small amount of water I gave them yesterday). Are you sure I have to water them everyday, even if the soil was moist from the day before?
One more thing about the beans, about what RickCorey (the person who posted before you) said. Is it true beans have that white hairy stuff on them? Or is that really salt like he said (he was just assuming it was salt..). If it's normal for beans, what even is it? Some weird natural defense system or something, or maybe some way to produce something? And why do they grow it?
