    My current grow seem to have a bit of green round the edges of the soil like moss?? is this ok? in previous grows ive not noticed it.

    i am watering them around twice a week to water runs out of the bottom at the moment but the leaves seem to be a bit droopy, any opinions on this?

    Thanks

    way too much water.

    WAY Way too much water.

    Add a ton of perlite to your soil.

    Get a turkey baster.

    I'd give them 2oz of water every 3 or 4 days.

    The bigger the chunks the better.

    Object of using perlite is two fold:
    1. It makes for excellent drainage. Nothing better.
    2. You'll bring oxygen down to the roots.

    LOL, no poking here.

    You are going to do the soil/perlite thing.

    Then you are gonna transplant this entire plant (not the plastic) into the fresh soil.

    The pot you got it in is too small already.

    Really! the pots are too small? i thought they would be in there for at least another 3weeks.. ok maybe time to change.

    looked into perlite.. does look like a good idea
