Drainage? kind of lost, guess im not getting it

I helped a friend plant 7 seedlings into a mix of gardening soil/Potting soil/Perlite..

About 50/50 of each soil..

When they're watered they get about a cup of water each a day.
should water be draining into the drip tray?..
id assume no, because then you have gnats.

am i missing something

Should "we"' :) throw then in new 100% potting soil, OR if it isn't broken don't fix it?

id include pics of the wanna B ladies

heres the group shot. no flack about the dvd stands. Needed to have the plants at the same level due to lighting..


PS.. Not a damn thing was done with these. Threw them in the dirt and let mother nature take over!!!
I use Ice mountain 2.5 gallon water.. heard it had PH of 6.5

thanks for looking

thanks, ya its been a hard 1 1/2 years living in Illinois. I have had no luck lining up a hookup. Always someone who knows someone..

Its a last attempt to get normal.. I have read lots of kind words about my situation. I have been working hard to manage without, but that only gets me so far..

Keeping my fingers crossed that a few turn out to be females.

dunno, how long should i. I have NO idea what i am doing.. I read every free minute i have.. Sometimes causing fights at home.
Just want to get it right.

Any ideas?

build yourself a sexer.. I'm sure you can find tutorials on how to... just need a box, comp fan and some CFLs.... then you can clone and find out sex early, then you'll be able to get rid of males early and keep a couple of extra females...

also, I'd top them next week... good luck
