I think a good thing to do in your case will be to drive a few stakes into the ground around your plant and then remove them to aerate the soil a bit and create holes for water ti better get to the roots without running off.
Dopn't pull it up!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . RE-PLANTING I have a plant that has some issues. The buds seem to have stopped growing. I've been watching them everyday my other plants are thriving. The soil looks very hard and when I water it sits on top for a while before it finally dissolves. Is the water getting to the roots? The leaves on the buds are alive and well because they are still very green. The fan leaves are yellowing and not reaching for the sun like the other ones, they are all folded downward towards the buds if you know what I mean. Rating: 5
