What kind of soil mix are you in? Sounds like you need more Perlite. Use lots of Perlite in your soil mix. I like to add it to even premixed bags of soil as most of them don’t have enough of it. Perlite helps keep the soil from clumping, helps the roots get more oxygen, and helps the soil dry out quicker. If you are using pots that are too large it can take an extra couple days to dry out properly. Of course this is assuming you are using soil and not a coco based growing medium.
Not wise to transplant when stressed.Hi!
I don't think you'll be familiar with the brand, it's a local company and I live far away. I've used it with vegetables with great results and no drying problems but they were outdoors and the heat would've taken care of that.
I also mixed it with composted soil which caused a salt build up.
I have extra perlite but how could I add it without disrupting the roots?
I'm considering transplanting the sativa but I'm kind of worried it dies in the process?
Thanks for the help!

Salt buildup in compost? What were you composting? I've never had any issues with compost and salt and I do a lot of horse manure composting.
It was the coco. It's grown near the ocen and must be flushed before use. Some, like what you have is really full. I bought 40 qts a month ago and flushed with bottled water, 0.2 ppm and it came out over 300 ppm. That wasn't too bad but all of it needs to flushed.I bought the composted soil.
The info on bag says:
Density: 400G/L
Moisture: 22%
Organic matter: 45%
Nitrogen: 0.8
E.C: 1.2 DSM
Coco Peat, Washed sand, Perlite, organic stimulants, compost.
This was mixed with potting soil from another company.
I didn't think compost could be harmful, but i was getting 2k ppm after I flushed, and it did improve after flushing.
I just put them outdoors for a while to help them dry. Should i try the apple cider? but that wouldn't help the drying.
