7 weeks 400 watt CFL. Organic soil. 5 gal container.
Two weeks ago I noticed a foul smell coming from the soil. Fearing root rot I decided not to water until smell was gone and soil dry to the touch. I only watered once a week anyway with 3 quarts (molasses mix).
Today I drilled drain holes in the bucket and a good 1/2 gallon of foul smelling browish green water poured out. Why I did not put drain holes? My stupidity. First indoor grow. Many outdoor where drainage was never an issue. Buds are decent, but not great. Hoping draining will help growth.
Eight hours later, smell gone and plant seems heathier. May be my imagination though.
Wanted to give it a few more weeks til harvest since we have clear trichs.
Suggestions?
Thanks
