Soil replacement?

ILGM BB AF

~ 33 days in flower

I’ve had to stake this plant because I’m afraid her branches could break she is so heavy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:, in doing so I noticed the soil level
In her 5 gal pot has compressed to half the container. She has 3-4 or more weeks left, should I top her off? Main concern is her drying out too fast between waterings

Thanks in advance

I would top her off, Atleast enough to cover roots @Sl1

I usualy leave a space on my pots so that I can top dress every 4th watering or so, by the end of the grow the soil is right up to the top of the pot. Just thought I would mention it.

@Jmesser80 thanks for the tip, I think I’ll start doing that as well.

Hubby and I were just talking about this last night. All the soil has become very compressed and looks like not enough soil. So tonight I’ll add a bit more soil to the top. I didn’t think it would help adding to top but wasn’t thinking about exposed roots.
