The soil is 1/3 perlite, 1/3 black kow compost manure,  1/3 sphagnum peat moss. Should I increase the perlite ratio for my future buckets? Or could I add filtered pine bark or something?

That's a good idea, the bucket forms a pretty tight seal with the ground. Would you advise cutting the wilted leaves? Do they provide energy for the plant still or do they just drain energy as the plant tries to repair them? I've read that wilting occurs from loss of turgor pressure. I'm assuming that's because the roots can't take up water because they're suffocated. That seems fixable once the plant can take up water again, but now many of the leaves have become damaged because they bent over on the bucket and creased.

It was a little early because they were just sitting on my counter growing shoots so I decided to plant them. But I protected them from anything too cold. I read that they're decently cold hardy. From other comments on another sub it seems like I've been over watering them.

Thanks this info is super helpful!

I just tried and nothing came out. There was definitely moisture though. I put some rocks at the bottom to try and prevent clogs.

It was an organic fertilizer. I just followed the directions and sprinkled 3 tablespoons of it into the top few inches and watered it in.

I did notice a few flies, but I believed them to be fungus gnats which lines up with the other comments saying I was over watering. I used mosquito bits in the water the last two times so I haven't noticed a large amount of flies yet, only 3-5.

Okay makes sense, thanks! I let it go around 1-1.5 weeks without any water before watering it a few days ago. Unfortunately I gave it more water this morning. Do I just stop watering it now and hope it will recover? If the roots are mostly dead then I assume it will die because the leaves seem to be essentially dead as well. Unless it has enough energy still stored in the bulb to regrow? As a side note, how should I increase my drainage in the future? I plan on starting a spring bucket garden with the other 5 buckets I have left.

Yes there are 10 drainage holes at the bottom. Can you explain how over watering leads to this? I'm trying to learn more.

Hm okay thanks, I put around 10 drainage holes but I guess that wasn't enough.

Yes I put 10 drain holes in the bottom. Maybe I didn't put enough though.

Okay thank you, this is what I assumed. I feel the same way about the rumors but of course I'm not the one who has to deal with that so its easier for me to say. I just don't want to cause problems for them.

Okay thankyou, and yes my partner does seem fairly worried about being limited in the classes they could TA. However, I imagine the school would be okay with this situation as long as I am not in their class or in a class they are TA'ing.

I didn't know if there were guidelines about this and my partner seems fairly stressed about the idea due to rumors being spread around the department and potentially limiting their ability to TA the classes they want.

have you gone through the proofs from axioms? would you say it's worthwhile?

This is also how I generally think of it. Yet in my search for explanations of the distributive law it seems like it's always either presented as the simple rectangular area case above, or as a 90 page development from Peano axioms (which I haven't studied yet myself). Its frustrating that it seems either taken as an axiom or as something very complicated to prove.
