I know this will be bad for you too see haha but I’m getting fox farm ocean breeze to replace. Should I keep the same pot or get a new one that will help me drain?

As long as your pot has that hole in the bottom you're fine. Make sure you dont pack the soil down too much when you resoil

So when I go to replant with the new soil how can I be gentle enough so I don’t hurt the plant? I’m worried about that.

Water her, let it dry enough that its moist not wet. Then make sure you're hands are about 3 inches from the plant on both sides. Push your hands straight down about 3-4 inches. THEN try and push your hands together to hold the soil and roots together. Then pull out slowly and carefully. Once you're out, have the other person switch the soils and make sure they leave a hole in the middle big enough for exactly what you're putting in. Make sure soil is to the top like it should be. Dont pack it down too much before dropping your girl back in. Once shes in IMMEDIATELY WATER UNTIL RUN OFF BUT WATER SLOWLY SO YOU DONT SHOCK HER. I think that's everything.

Praying hands good too right? And curling down leads are bad correct? Curling down is too much water? Praying hands means they’re praying to the gods and are healthy ?

Best advice is only water her every other day max in regular soil. I only give my plant a cup of mixed water and 1/4-1/2 of a bottle of water. Every two days

Okay how can I figure out how much nuts to put in? I’m using just a regular bottle of water and got a 2 qt water jug I keep the water in. Should I cover the water? And when I do the nuts, only add gro big and big bloom right? (Shown in pic) the other nuts is fertilizer and I don’t use that till the flowering right?

Literally just a little bit for now. You want to work your way up. Start with a couple drops this feeding. A couple more each time. Stop at like 1/2oz. When you get her nice and strong. Try adding nutes 3/4 of your feeds. So 3 out of 4 times. 4th time use only water and water her until run off so theres no salt build up.

Also when watering is it a big deal to spray the leafs? And when I add the nuts is there a specific place in the dirt I should dump it? Like not right in the middle on the plant? Or doesn’t matter

I put water everywhere but poking a hole in the water bottle. And then after using bottled water I finish by slowly dumping my 1cup of mixed water all around the center. Like on the stem and around the stem outwards like 3-4 inches. Do it slowly. 1/4 a cup let drain into soil repeat till cup is empty.

Your plant looks really good and green for your first time! How close are your lights? Also maybe slow down on the watering especially since there is no drainage. Once a day if that, would be fine. Just mist the leaves and surrounding areas in between. Seems like you’re on the right track. Getting some better soil and with those fox farm soils you really won’t need to add too many nutes for a couple weeks or so.

They are somewhere between 22-25 inches above the plant. And I will slow down for sure. Probably every other day water that way the next day it do what it needs to and so on. And when do you think I’ll need to add with the soil then if I get the fox farm soil
