Currently not growing under the best HP's light it's currently a 2100k which isn't that great in which I been hearing ,one of my plants is currently drooping I would call it. Is this from over watering? My current soil holds water for nearly days, the last time I watered was around 3-4 days ago and it's still moist and I'm very scared the soil I've mixed is holding to much water. Is there a quick solution to this problem? I did my own mix thinking I would stumple uppon something awesome but the end result wasn't as cool as I first planned.

That peat moss will hold water like a sponge but if the plants are small they will not drink alot so pots will still have weight days later. I use Mix #4 Advanced and it will release the water about 30 mins after watering if too much is in there.

The #4 starts doing that sheet if I add to much worm castings to it or it has clumps of peat in there.
You can pick up Hortilux bulbs on amazon used less then 800 hours (1 cycle) on a 25k hour lamp for 20$ if it is about a decent lamp. I wouldn't worry about color shifting until it hit half life.
