And the soil is always moist so I’m reluctant to feed in case of overwatering is There any tips or just leave it to the soil drys not added any water in 3 weeks

You haven't added water in 3 weeks and the soil is wet? Is there any type of fan in the area to move air around?

Pictures would help

Yeah theres table fan in temp is constant about 68 to 70 and humidity is about 55. The soil is heavier peat. I’ll upload some pictures to show

Hmm. Temp is pretty low, but if I had to guess they're in too big of a pot if they're taking that long to dry

What are you using for light?

But, yes, that pot is pretty big for that small of a plant. Another problem is drainage in general. With something like that you want to add a good amount of perlite to increase drainage. You're essentially trying to grow in a mud puddle right now by the looks of it

Its a 300w full spectrum grow light

Is there anything I can do at this point to the soil to increase drainage

How high above the plants is the light?

As far as the soil, I'm not a soil grower so I'm not much help there. Hopefully someone else can answer that one

This probably isn't what you wanna hear, but if it was me I'd just scrap it and start over. If you cut around the plant and pull it out to add perlite you'll slow growth quite a bit most likely. And if you were to keep going you'd more than likely experience root rot, if that hasn't already begun. It's hard to tell the health of your plant under the blurple lighting.

Lights about 24” above
Thanks for the advice

Would it be possible to clone it from the stem in new soil.

It’s just seed is not easy come by here and well there’s a short supply of bud too. So was hoping to get something from this

To be honest if you have more seeds I'd cut your losses. These plants are about 5 weeks old from seed. The closest in the photo is behind them and at about 4 weeks. This is my second grow.

My point being, if you were to chop that and try to clone it, you'd probably be out the same amount of time and still have a small plant. You'll have a much better run if you go through and fix the issues you had this run. For 7 weeks that's not much plant.

Next time start in a much smaller pot and work your way up.

The plant color looks better than I anticipated at least. I'm just not sure how to add drainage to an already potted plant personally

Looks like you need more air movement and better soil. The plants should wiggle but not blow all around. I usually put fan at the wall in med or high and let the deflected air move plants. Or get oscillating fan. Is that soil really compact? Do you push on sides of pot to loosen it? You definately need perelite. The stems would be thicker if there was good air movement. But the plants are not dead you just got to get them on the right track. You could try transplant n put in new soil. Get as much of that dirt off as you can without damaging roots. Take mix peat perelite n worm casting if you have it
lot of perelite
