Yeah man, it helps with drainage. You want your soil to dry out in a timely manner so your roots will grow bigger searching for water. Bigger roots=bigger plant=bigger buds

I would probably just do it on the next grow. I don't mix my soil so i'm not exactly sure but I think you would have to dig up most of the dirt and mix it in, which would stress the fuck out of it haha. We live and we learn, no biggie.

hahaha! your bud won't let you fuck soo...set your priorities dude. I know what you mean though. I think researching and actually growing is more addictive than actually smoking. I'm on here most of the day too. I like to check up on my baby every like 6 hours or so, she's growin pretty steadily.

haha yeah man. after a lot of reading it all starts to sound the same. alot of people have the same questions so you just kinda learn the best ways to grow because more experienced growers will share their ideas.

She is looking good, although it looks like her growth rate is slower than it should be. Have you started any nutes?

do your cotyledons look like they're dying? You might want to start at a very low dose with grow nutes. I don't want your shit to get burned tho so i don't know. There's a risk but

hmm? do i dont i lol an i dont think they're dyin but i'll have to double check i might put i tiny amount in my water shes ready to water tomorrow anyway so i might

*EDIT* ive just check her an her cotyledons are still very green an much alive ive just mix 1ml maybe 2ml of nutes into 5ltrs of water, it sed to put 15ml into 7ltrs so i think she'll be alright i check the soil it was pretty much dry so i've watered her now there shouldnt be any nute burn or damage but i wont know til tomorrow

peace out an happy tokin :joint::roll:
