ok. i have my babies in 5 gallon buckets and today when i went to flush them, because i feared nutrient build up, the bucket just filled with water. it seems that all my drainage holes have been stopped off. i don't know how to fix this without damaging roots. plants are two weeks into flower.

has anyone had this happen to them before? i would not consider myself a newbie at all, but i've never come across this problem before.

I 'm not a Soil grower, but I can tell you that I had a plant in 4 weks of Flowering, in HYDRO, and I pulled it up to move it and I had to cut some roots and it didin;'ts eem to hurt it much.
I'm suggesting that MAYBE you can just cut some more drain holes. did you have rocks in the bottom of the bucket?

get out the electric drill...drill the hell out of the sides of the bucket at the very bottom of the bucket. You won't hurt the roots drillin it......but the overwatering/root rot might...

good luck

What kind of soil are you using that has clay.Where did you get the soil from.
You may have too transplant it any way.I would repot them with some good potting soil from a store.It's only set you back a week or two before harvest.
PEACE
