desperately In need of advice!

it has one of these for when the water seeps out of the sides

that’s part of your problem right there, you need the bag on something that allows for airflow underneath

3000 ml or 3/4 a gallon

okay i didn’t even give it half of a gallon i don’t think…

I use wreath blanks under my pots. Lifts them for airflow and allows proper drainage. You can get them at the Dollar Store where they keep the fake flowers. When these pots are throughly watered they drip out from the bottom.

You are watering too quickly and the pot is losing the benefit of the water. When you water in these bags you have to water a bit, wait a bit and water some more.

ahhh that makes sense okay so water let it soak in wait like 5 mins the water again? and so on until i use 3/4 of a gallon?

It’s a blank. Meaning a round wire piece meant to make a wreath with. Mine are all in the flower room currently which went to sleep at five, so tomorrow I’ll pop a pic for you.

Exactly! As soon as it’s throughly watered, it will start to slow drip from underneath of the pot.

watering too much water at once.. @CannaGranny explained this to you earlier

 

[ayeob]

okay so my plant is still heavy and hard on the sides when i squeeze it. i just watered it this morning should i water it again tomorrow?

 

[CannaGranny]

I have great patience, until I fire one up and wander off behind the little squirrel’s. Then it’s a total lost cause

 

[ayeob]

okay that’s makes a lot of sense now

Just to make sure you’re not drowning this lady, what area of the pot do you water?

 

[ayeob]

i usually just put some water with a cup everywhere on top…maybe i should use a sprayer or get a watering can? i mostly concerned that the leaves won’t bounce back

have you ever tried the AC infinity self water for fabric pots?

You need to water along the sides of your pot, and not around the root ball of the plant, meaning directly up close to the stalk. Doing this makes a mud hole u def your plant, depriving it of oxygen and she will drown.
To fix this, start watering along the outer edge, you will never get what you need in the soil using a sprayer. Get a solo cup and water it a cup at a time if you have to. As soon as you get the watering process right, she will line out.

Nope, my grow room is part of my daily routine. I’m the “self” in all of my processes.
