Indoor watering instructions under a T-12 just until spring r u suppose to let water sit in bottom of the tray ?? Or ?? Water from the top frequently and dump remaining water ????

It depends. When I have done leaf pullings and seed germination I leave them in a tray of water to keep the soil more moist and humidity up. But if it's an established plant I top water until the water just runs out and then toss the run off.

N how long have u been growing traps ??

1 and a half years with hours upon hours of research. I love to learn.

I have been growing for 3 years. I keep my plants in a tray outside with always over 1 inch of water. I keep my plants outside in the california hot weather

Tray definitely works well. I hope you didn't take it as I meant it was wrong. Main thing with tray is you'll want to have larger pots, or it will stay very wet constantly in a tiny pot. I tray in summer since it gets super hot.

No sorry it's all good, I'm. New to the game & I love to learn too, so that's y you'll c me ask so many questions ! Cause the last time I got a trap was 13 years ago n I gave it to my step son n It died , so this time around I'm gonna buy a bunch at a time n I don't want to shock my daughter by killing them so that's y you'll c me everywhere asking questions to get a feel !!
& I remember reading somewhere and Matt was getting so many questions n he kept sending them to a forum to answer the questions &,, I was like ?????
