defenatly seems 2 be my Achilles heel but thanks 2 this site and not stop reading if learned the soil i use canna terra pro i heard not to water till runnoff i find the soil retains moisture well i think ill get some perlight for the next run cheers 4 the input i apreciate it heapsOne of the biggest failures as new growers is overwatering. Keep a journal and watch the leaves.
Exactly...I went with soil because it's more control which should minimize plant death. I have 5 pets to clean up after already...I don't need leaking hydroponics as well. I use "the research, research, research aproach". I will ask someone if I'm stuck but between being raised on a farm, cousins whom teached me to grow during my teen years and growing a "regular garden" outdoors each summer makes it easier and more relaxing.defenatly seems 2 be my Achilles heel but thanks 2 this site and not stop reading if learned the soil i use canna terra pro i heard not to water till runnoff i find the soil retains moisture well i think ill get some perlight for the next run cheers 4 the input i apreciate it heaps![]()
That's a great point. I researched the same...the fabric allows for breathing, aparently. This allows for more "even" and faster drying. So I imagine a grower should be vigilant to not over-dry nor overwater.What pots you using giggle ??
If you go for one of the fabric smart pots it could potentially help if you have a habit of overwatering , they seem to dry out a lot quicker then the standard plastic pots IMO ..
Looks better then she did though![]()
Nice...thanks for the info. I'll seek them out and price them. I hate having to invert the plants and have all the ground on the leaves to clean. I need those leaves for lunch smoothies.I've got a 5 gal fabric pot , didn't transfer out of it or into it but it does fold in on itself , it has no rigid form the soil you put into it is basically what holds the shape and the one I've got has hoops at top and bottom of all four corners to feed support canes in .
What I can comment on is I did find them loads better for watering then the previous plastic one I used![]()
