Cofee is high in nitrogen. Any yellowing edges, tips, or veins? Because nitrogen poisoning can result in slight yellowing and drooping similar to over watering.View attachment 889685
used a combination of these 2 and a little bit of coffee grinds (heard it’s good Nutrients)

Yes super slight yellowing on 1 tip of 1 leaf all the way at the bottom, the others are totally greenCofee is high in nitrogen. Any yellowing edges, tips, or veins? Because nitrogen poisoning can result in slight yellowing and drooping similar to over watering.
that sounds like what it might have... solutions to fix it???Nitrogen toxicity is typically identified by excessively dark green leaves, and the tips "clawing" downward. It's not the same droop as overwater or too-dry wilting. The only yellowing that might occur from excess nitrogen would be in the tips/edges from overfeeding (burn). You can overfeed to burn without having N tox. And, you can have N tox without overfeeding to the point of burn. They're two different things in that regard. But, could occur together.
i’m nervous to water it a crazy amount bc i’m worried about over watering it... I saturate the top, when i pick it up & look at the holes at the bottom the soil is dryThe next time you grow, I would stay away from the "moisture control" stuff. Staying wetter is typically the wrong direction to go. Also pay attention to the NPK values printed on the bag. That moisture control potting mix is 0.21-0.11-0.16. At that level, it could burn. Or, at least you wouldn't want to feed for some time (and often people don't know when to feed. In that sense it's better to use a potting mix with low values, and add light nutrients each watering. If you wanted to do that, MG Organic Choice is better. NPK 0.10-0.05-0.05.). Another problem with pre-fertilized soils (especially MG's pre-fertilized soils) is that the fertilize is usually time-released. The more you water, the worse it gets (as nutrients are released). You might have dodged that bullet by mixing it with the MG peat moss. But, MG adds fertizer to that too(!). 0.19-0.11-0.15. They add nutrients to everything. Organic Choice is the only thing I've seen people use, and like the results. But, you should add perlite (at least 25%) to that. (But, again, if you use MG's perlite you should soak/rinse it first because they add 0.11-0.11-0.11 to their perlite too.).
I think your problem is that you're not saturating the soil for 10% runoff, and then letting it dry substantially. It sounds like you're giving it sips every couple days. Some areas would be dry, other areas kept to wet.
Also, I wouldn't have a plant way below the edge of a container. I see people do that, and it seems like it would inhibit air flow, reduce the light. I would put the plant in a proper-size container, fill it to the top (almost) with soil. If you have something taller than you want to fill with soil, use a hacksaw and cut it down to the height you want.
that is the only leaf with yellowing, the rest are greenthat sounds like what it might have... solutions to fix it???

So i’ve switched to hosing it now instead of shot glasses, how long should i keep the hose on it for?I don't see N toxicity. I think it's not being watered thoroughly (and allowed to dry). The high walls in the sun could have been hot, radiating heat toward the plant, creating a heat chamber.
I know what you mean. But, if you're rationing water more frequently (two shot glasses), the soil doesn't become evenly wet. And, some soil may stay too wet, never allowed to dry more. I don't think cannabis can be over-watered (in terms of volume). The problem is watering too frequently (regardless of volume), staying to wet.
is it the soil i chose to use that could be blocking the drainage? Or am i just not watering it long enough, using a hose now instead of the shot glassesThis is a common misconception. Over watering is from watering too often not too much volume. This keeps the bottom of the pot wet and drowns the roots. Good runoff keeps the excess nutrients and waste cleaned off the roots. The blocking of the roots by too much nutrients is what causes lockout.
This is why we need good drainage in the soil. So it washes through properly and quickly.
If you pour in enough water to saturate your soil you should see runoff within a minute. Simple drainage test.
like this idea!!! Thank youThe roots wont explore bone dry soil for very long. You need to put the water where you want the roots to grow. Water thoroughly till you get runoff, then make a mini greenhouse from an old jug or stakes and plastic wrap or something.

so should i repot her again & move her up?Well we dont know until you start to water properly. I dont like the hose idea though. I suggest watering evenly with a watering can or a big plastic cup like i use to make sure i pour evenly.
I also see that the soil only goes half way up the pot. Severely limits root space and when she gets bigger her leaves will likely hit the sides. And they need airflow underneath coming up through the leaves ideally.
so should i repot her again & move her up?
