Perlite is for airating, and verm is for water retentionHey bro, your set-up looks awesome!
Are these the pots you will grow in?
Is there any chance you could get some airpots, or some smart pots?
They will let much more air in. I used regular pots for the first 3 plants I grew, and I can definitely tell the difference now that I'm using airpots... The roots breathe much better now, I can see that from the shape of the plants!
If you really wanna use those regular pots you need many small holes in them for drainage AND to let the air in. Make sure your soil mix contains a bit of perlite or vermiculite to help retain water.
Hope this helps!
Peace brother
For sure brother . Ima run with these post the first go round, we drilled a bunch of holes in them do hope that helps. But air pots are on the list. Just after installing a totally new breaker box, buying new lights and fans, 80lbs of soil, 2 dwc bucket set ups, and all the other lil shit, the net pots will prob make it in the next grow lol.Hey bro, your set-up looks awesome!

I have a stack a homer buckets that look like air pots..don't use them.any more tho. You can achieve massive root wads in a plastic sackYeah, that's what I have done, drill holes around the side of the pot.
Good to know. I mostly put the holes on the bottom half of the pots. Should I drill up the sides too?I have a stack a homer buckets that look like air pots..don't use them.any more tho. You can achieve massive root wads in a plastic sack
Put one row in a ring around bottom. If there most drying fast enough for you. Put a second ringGood to know. I mostly put the holes on the bottom half of the pots. Should I drill up the sides too?
Ok then I'll stop where I'm at. I'll take a pic when I get the chance. But there's basically 2 rings towards the bottom half and a few directly in the bottom. Thanks again y'all for all the help. Really appreciate it.Put one row in a ring around bottom. If there most drying fast enough for you. Put a second ring
