FF ocean forest. never had problems with it. But one of my four pots with FF in it is not draining well, if AT ALL! about a week till finish and i want to flush ASAP, but one pot is not draining. Soil still soaking wet even after no water for a week.

any ideas on how to correct this so close to go time?
 
all seems good on the drain holes...even added more to be sure... its quite mind boggling. the other are dry to semi dry a day or two after watering.
 
the plant is "ok"...this one seems to be the problem child of the bunch. its alive, but SUPER crispy, leaves are green but extremely dry and brittle. as i said its almost chop time, so if this is all i have to worry about over the next week...ill take it!
 
Ive had the same problem with roots organic soil. Do you use molasses? Ive noticed that too much can cause this sometimes. Try using a wetting agent. I use earth juice assist and it really seems to help.
 
i DO use molasses. wetting agent? what exactly does that do and what should i use? to me it sounds like i need an anti wetting agent lol
 
Word. My bad, i think im off base. A few ritas after lunch and i want to chat my ass off. Try adding some perlite to the soil or some of those hydro balls to the bottom of the pot before adding soil. That helps with drainage...
 
i added perlite before i mixed the soil. this is only a recent issue. within the past week or so. once i get home ill get my hands dirty and try to figure it out
