Soil help!! +rep

[Nugglet]

Morning all. Few questions. Im at work atm so i will post some pictures tonight. But i have recently found out i have a female yay. My baby is about 10" tall just turned into flowering but my soil started acting funny when i transplanted it. It acts as if it rejects water. Like the water sits on top for a little bit before it soaks it in. But my plant is Dark green and seems to be very healthy.

So i have three questions.
1. Any ideas about the soil? Its just MG soil with added nutes. Says it feeds the plant for 6 months.
2. With this pre-nute soil should i use flowering nutes or hold off? I used some in veg once and it killed the plant and somehow it regrew lol.. lost every node. It sucks.
3. The very tips of my leaves make a 90" turn stright down. Its not from overwatering cause the leaves dont sag. They actually almost point up. But some at the very tip of leaves points straight down.

Please help

First Congratulations!

1. This is debatable, but I would wait until the soil is very dry and then flush it - running enough water through it to equal 3 times the size of the pot. 3 gal pot = 9 gallons water. This is the get the nitrogen (flowerings enemy) out of the soil.

2. Next watering (after the flush) use a flowering nute (with high P) at 1/4 strength, and start working your way up..

3. Is the container big enough (1 gal soil to 1" of plant is the norm). But It's probably your soil, which sounds like it's not draining well. It would've been good to add some (20%) coco or peat, and 20% pearlite (or more) to lighten it up. It's probably not a huge deal, and as the roots fill out, it should drain better.

1 and 2, what the clever man said above me.

3. I don't really understand, I would GUESS it is either heat related, or normal. I can only guess though

Congrats on the lady too!

Congrats here too! Don't add any extra nute, mg is quite 'hot' enough by itself.
And be very careful of over watering, that will result in too much fert being released.
