Plus should I use cal-mag it's been recommended

Because you have wet and dry pockets. That's the problem. Saturate the whole thing slowly and completely then weigh it.

With my feeding all I use is liquid fish and golden tree for my fertilizer along with bio root and unsulfured blackstrap molasses.. like I said first time and don't know what to feed or should say a good blend for veg and flower stage

If you were to unpot now I'd bet you have a sick root ball in the middle with most of the pot having no roots.

Get rid of all that stupid shit and get dynagrow and dynabloom. Don't need calmag unless it's deficient.

As fish bud said, your soil is resisting water because it became too dry at some point and now the water runs right through. To get completely saturated soil, the best and easiest way is to get a container (bathtub even) that is at least almost as deep as the soil in your pots. Fill the container with good, correct pH water and set the plants in it for at least 20 minutes, but not for an hour. Take them out and drain well. I’ve done this many times with all sorts of potted plants. My mother was famous for killing plants. Many times I would come to visit to find a bone dry plant that she would say she just watered. Weighing the pot before and after is a good idea. If you know the weight when it is completely saturated, then every time you water that should be your target. And don’t water until the have lost a significant amount (5 gallon pot should have a gallon (8.3 lbs.) of free water, depending on your soil type. Sandy holds a lot less than heavy with sphagnum.
