it needs perlite to drain well. cannabis HATES wet feet, so to speak. 2-3 days can be too often. make sure it drains, and dries out more between waterings. imo. i broke your balls about the soil because perlite and cannabis cultivation is like............cookies and milk.

I used to use Perlite, vermiculite, and worm casting. Made for a pretty good mix. Oh, and bat guano works well with those also.

Perlite about 20% of the mix. Add a tbsp of dolomite lime per gallon of soil. I add epsom salts, bone and blood meal, good compost (not one with alot of bark/wood chips).
