Grab a pencil and jab it into the pot loosing the soil all around the plant. You could grab the plant tipping the pot over and re poting Or give us some more info and maybe its a feed her kind of thing.

If you ask, or answer this question too many times you will be warned, and possibly banned. See the long thread in the support section labeled Attention all users.

Ok I feel stupid. Dude its a cup a cup of fucking dirt!!! In a plastic cup for rice sakes. Here I thought you had a 5 gal container filled with dirt and had packed it tight and all you have is a red plastic cup. COMMON SENSE!!!

I am not saying he shouldn't ask. Just that these new "paid moderators" are really out to prove something it sounds like.
OH! And they both have about the same post count as McSpeedo...go figure!
McSpeedo, I am not trying to rag on you, and if it sounds like I did, I apologise. I am just pointing out how these new paid moderators will be killing activity.

Good to know about his guy. I have had no issues with mods in this forum and I have gotten into some NASTY fights with guys. I know one of the mods and he is not paid.

damn help the dude.
first of all. you shouldnt be using miracle grow, anything. in my opinion. secondly. if you packed the soil, dont! just keep watering them when the cup is light. and you should be fine.
