over watered it looks like. I didn't use perlite for my first grow in flower now, and the soil moisture is back and forth, different for each plant. I had 3 fully saturated and damn near killed one last night cuz it was bone dry. My next plants I used perlite (like a shit load of it), All purpose sand, and hydroton pellets in with the soil (FF as well) and the drainage is like a dream. I tossed some moisture crystals in there that someone gave to me for free. They all drain regularly, and predictably. I would recommend using a ratio of half a gallon of perlite, two big hand fulls of sand, and one double hand scoop of hydroton pellets for every 5 gallons of FF soil. Thats what I did, and I can see a huge difference in water retention, plant stability (healthwise) and lack of fungus gnats (gnats due to the over compacted FF soil which almost becomes impermeable for water to get in or escape after time). The mix I suggested has not compressed more than an inch for about a month. The plain soiless mix compressed over three inches which just holds excess moisture against the roots for long periods of time. I am always caught in between watering too much or not enough without the drainage additives. Again, the FF with everything else I mentioned is way easier to gauge. Take my advice with a grain of salt, as I am still a noob, but I did what I did with the soil based off of solid advice on this forum. I hope that the situation will allow you to get something good from it.
