Ok sounds good I am going to start by getting the pest strips and putting a layer of sand around the ones that have already reached the surface.

But now that I know I have gnats in the soil would it still be transport the biodegradeble pots into larger pots, that's ofcourse if I don't see anymore gnats and I already removed it.
For the lighting I was planning on switching over to different bulbs that gives out more red. If I buy 2 twin fixtures do you think it would be to much heat for the plants, right now the temps are at 82. I was also going to place another bin on top of it so I get more of a closed in grow ofcourse wrapping that bin with emergency blanket all around.

Also the bulbs I was going to buy for flowering give out 2700k while these for the growth are 6500k, can I just buy 4 (2700) for the 2 twin fixtures and use it all the way till harvest?

Thanks again for all your help
