You want about 20% runoff every time you water, so about 20% of what goes in comes out the bottom and is them dumped so the plant doesn't sit in it. That runoff will rinse excess salts preventing buildups in your soil.

Over watering is not letting the soil dry properly between waterings (watering too frequently).

With soil you shouldn’t feed every watering.

You should alternate you nutrient usage.

Feed water water.
Feed water water.

Especially in times of high heat you should use less nutrients as the plants uptake more water than nutrients during excessive heat.

When you open the jar how moist do the buds feel?

If they feel soft and “fresh” still you’ll need to dump them out until the outsides begin to crisp up again and then jar for another day and repeat.

keep repeating until buds feel slightly crispy when you Open the jar.

then you can leave for longer in between checking etc.

when you squeeze them they spring right back...smells a little better, not cut grass, smoke is nice and smooth but no crazy taste or smell like you can get a a dispensary....the other plants are looking good, 3 weeks into flpwer...last year my fabric pots would turn white when the soil dried out...not this year!
