Potting soil mix for cannabis. I'm having extreme drainage problems with my usual soil mix this year. 60% Ocean Forest with 40% perlite/pumice watered once in March is still wet. Plants stunted, worthless. Three tries with new mixes all failed. No time but for autos now.

I use 3 parts Ocean Forest to 1 part pearlite and have great drainage and your soil looks about like mine. When I water I will apply a thin layer to the soil surface. It stays on top and does not soak in immediately but within a minute it soaks in and wets the soil. After that it accepts water almost as fast as I can pour it on.

Hi there, IMO if you want a good drainage pot, go 1:1:1 ratio for soil,coco,perlite.And If you want a best drainage go 70/30 coco/perlite mix.I sometimes get problems with poor drainage ,especially when I want to grow orgainically with dry organic amendments.Too much dried organic matters make the soil hard and difficult for water penetration.BTW I always put marble stone at the bottom of the pot for extra good drainage.Good luck and happy growing... ✌️

Gorilla Bomb drooping due to substrate being too dense. I chopped up the old soil with roots too find the added bulk of leftover roots and rhizomes made it too dense. I waited two weeks without adding any water to see if they would dry out. NOPE, so I mixed up some newly aeriated soil with LOTS of perlite, lava rock and made a bed of rocks and cactus mix for the bottom to increase drainage and air circulation. More nutrients were added of the same used before. Today these are happy as clams and reaching for the sky in anticipation of the sun coming out later. I'm so glad I decided to transplant again into better draining soil. It serves to remind us that if we are adept at transplanting, then if conditions warrant, by all means DO IT. I also sprinkled a fresh dusting of mycorrhizae into each hole before planting and have applied silicone foliar for stem strength. (High winds a problem here and silicone has demonstrated significantly stronger stems. Notice the amount of perlite showing in the pics was not nearly enough for the newly dense recycled/recharged soil. I upped the amount to fully one third of total bulk. Surface had been bone dry so the importance of using a deep soil moisture prod is clearly demonstrated. The finger test is antiquated.

Nothing has helped my soil breath for some reason this year using the same mix as always. I decided to go radicle and gave them a H202 watering today (1/3) to get some oxygen down into the roots. I may or may not try to re-introduce mycorrhizae. I'm not sure at this late stage if it will make any difference. I decided to try since they are staying green at the top. Stunted yes but maybe something and I started an auto Bruce Banner but it doesn't like something, showing cupping/canoe leaves even tho I didn't add any supplements to this soil and it's outside so it can't be too much light. Oh, well, my shoulder is better today at least.

Thank you for your encouragement, however nothing I do helps my grow. It's all dying off as too wet and I can't do anything about it. When these die off I'm out of this hobby. I can't seem to do it after 7 years trying I never produced anything near what I could buy and the failures kept mounting instead of improving. Its become too much heartbreak for so much effort. Thousands of hours and thousands of dollars later in retrospect it was a fun experiment that ultimately failed. Mediocre results never matched the amount of study, effort and expense. Better luck to the rest of you!
