Organic soil holding moisture too long?

My plant is Nirvana Blue Mystic, Indica dom, mostly like by 80%. It's 25 days old, and it's in Vermicrop's fire soil. The plant is growing in a PC Tower with only a 120mm outtake fan with a 50truewatt LED UFO light and two 5truewatt LED Lights and one passive intake. I watered my plant that's in a 2+gal pot, a week ago and the soil is still moist. The top 1/2 inch of soil is dry, but even directly under the stem it's very moist. I have grown veggies before and it seems like the direct rootball never gets dry.

Is the fact that the soil is moist a week after its watered a good thing? The soil drains very well, but it contains mycorrhizal which also helps lessen waterings.

Although the soil is full of food already, I'm afraid that I won't be able to feed every other week like I want to. So is this a dilemma or a good thing? If I can't feed as much should I just go with foiliar feeding? I've read many times that foiliar feeding isn't as effective as soil drenching.

Although my outtake fan sucks, the rh is still low. 50%is the usually the highest but it also depends on the weather outside rather than what is happening inside. The plant isn't showing signs of over-watering, and the soil drains really well.

I'd only worry if your plant discolors, burns at the tips. Or starts to curl upwards/falls over.

It looks relatively healthy. Would be better if you could take a shot without the blurple light tainting the image.

your container is way too big for that plant my man
gotta go in steps, a plant that size should hang out in a gallon container for a while, then trans from that, into that one pictured
the roots aren't established enough to draw out that water
the vermifire is good soil though
but I wouldn't feed it ANYTHING till the plant has been in it's container for at least 2-3 weeks.
vermifire is already amended, good to go out the bag for a while
I've done water only grows with vermifire, given enough room you can go beginning to end without anything
so go light or avoid any feeding man...

also judging by the mass amounts of the perlite near the surface I suspect you are watering too much at once, which makes the soil settle, clogs drainage, and makes the perlite go to the top
like goldpanning
plant looks alright though, just be certain to water it lightly, and do just the plant itself, NOT the entire container

Greasemonkeymann thank you sir, I will definitely do that next time around.

Thanks for all your help in the past as well

Here are some pictures from today, it's totally fine

yea, the plant never looked bad to me, I think it's fine, i'd top those last two leaves and train the remaining two colas to spread the width of your container.
I always, always strive to match the canopy to the footprint of the container.

Top the top two sets of nodes or the ones on the bottom of the plant?

I figured LST'ing it would match the length of the pot. Should I cut those big fan leaves to give light to the lower nodes?
