the very bottom (1-1.5”) of my soil won’t drain. it’s compact and wet. becoming acidic(ph5, and the ph comes up to 6.8 the less deep u go) should i take the plant out from the pot and replace the shitty soil? i feel like i should. i just need encouragement and direction

You could. But you risk stressing her out. Autos hate being transplanted.
Given the fact your growing in a fabric grow bag- you should not have her sitting directly in/on her run off.
Do you move her and allow her to drain during waterings?
Try using something underneath that both catches her run off but keeps the bottom on the bag away from the water 🌱

Put the pot on a stand with holes or a couple bits of wood or bricks etc - this will give you airflow under the pot and it wont just sit wet in runoff which is probably your issue with the fabric pot.

Yeah! Do this for sure! When you depot be sure to use some mycorrhiza. It will be fine!

It's never late to transplant especially when you see issues, just go bigger pot too, always works. You can lay thin lair of clay Peebles on bottom.

Soil Amount Heavily DecreasedHello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?
